Beaded Bookmark

Today I fancied dedicating some time to a different craft project.

Some gorgeous beads on the Beader's Companion website were just perfect for a beaded bookmark. The wooden cubes with animal print, black cat's eyes beads and silver pearl beads are just right up my street.


And the bookmark has already found a proud place in the book I am currently reading. :)

Little Claire Challenge #5

The fifth Little Claire challenge is now live. The theme of the new fortnightly challenge is 'animals'.

There is a great price for the winner, and entries using Little Claire stamps are in with the chance on a Top 3 badge. Entries can be registered until 2pm UK time on Friday, 29 April 2011.

I hope that many of you will join us for this challenge and look forward to seeing all the entries.

And here is my animal sample card. I used the Shep stamp, which is available from the Little Claire website.

Spikey Flower Set

I hope you all had the chance to watch the Little Claire show with Steve and Leonie on Create & Craft - live or as recording. It was again a great show.

And the fabulous new stamp sets are now available from Create & Craft and the Little Claire website.

Another Teaser

In my earlier post I mentioned two new Room with a View stamp sets. Are you up for another sneak peek?

Here are now cards made with the second set, 'Claire's Bistro':



And now it's nearly time to get a cuppa, to settle down in front of the TV and to get ready to watch Steve on Create & Craft ...

Little Claire on Create & Craft

It is not long now until the start of the Little Claire show at 11a.m. Are you set to watch Create & Craft or to record the show?

Steve will launch a few beautiful new stamp sets - including two sets from the popular Room with a View series. And here is a sneak peek for one of them:

Room with a View - Claire's Fleurs

Room with a View - Claire's Fleurs

I hope you will enjoy the show and get plenty of inspiration.

Little Claire Club Stamp April 2011

The new Little Claire club stamp set 'The Right Time ...' has just been launched on the Little Claire website. And I must admit that the cute owls are amongst my favourite club stamps of all times. They are just so much fun to work with and really managed to cheer me up during busy times in the day job.

I hope you like the cards below, which I created using the new stamp set. And perhaps also have a look at the gallery for this stamp set on the Little Claire website where you can find plenty of other examples.




And something for the diary:

On 7 April 2011 at 11.00 Steve from Little Claire will be at Create & Craft again and show some brand-new stamp sets.

Little Claire Challenge #3

The third Little Claire challenge is now underway. This time creations need to be held mainly in the colours green and pink. Details and a photo of the tempting prize are on the Little Claire blog.

Why not give it a go and see what you come up with? I cannot wait to see all your projects.

And here is the card that I created in line with the motto of the current challenge (but as Design Team card it is obviously listed outwith the competition). I used the Little Claire stamp 'Mini Claire'.
