New Stash....

It's the oooh and aaahhhh time at the shop as some of the new goodies, that we ordered at the trade show, have started to arrive.
We have Prima papers and embellishments, WOW embossing powders, new Spellbinders dies, PaperArtsy stamps, Memory Box dies, Carta Bella papers and the new IndigoBlu releases.
The boxes are arriving daily and I can't keep my hands out of them, I have already had a Prima Engraver pad. It is just divine and my bank balance is under serious pressure.
Come in and have a little look as things are going fast.

Demo Day....

Here's a pic of a canvas I've made using PanPastels, stamps, texture paste and masks. I'll be showing how I made it on Saturday at the Pink Tulip PanPastel demo day. We will also be doing make and take sessions so you can have a go and see how easy PanPastels are to use.

I will be doing a class at PTC of this card along with a matching tag so if you like it call the shop and book a place.....
I've used one of the new IndigoBlu releases, they are sooooo fab u lous!!!! 

Here again....

Nearly a week since my last blog post,  so apologies for the delay. I have been on catch up time since the trade show and also fulfilling my grandmotherly duties.
As you will see from the last post I still have gremlins in the works regarding the uploading of my photos. Was all going well until I decided to enlarge one of the pics then it went and covered all my journaling. Anyway the journaling was a reminder that I am doing demonstrations with Pan Pastels on Saturday at Pink Tulip Creations, Studley. Tracy and myself have done some lovely samples for you to see and we will be doing make and takes also. I do hope you can come along and join us.

I have done a fab card, which will have a matching tag, for a PTC class using one of the new IndigoBlu releases so if you are interested in this class the card is on show in the shop.


Pan Pastel Demonstrations From 10 - 5 pm  (with a break for lunch between 1 - 1.30 )

Sneaky Peak....

here's a sneaky peak of a couple of new masks we have on order. (I've got these earmarked for myself) They are fab in the really life so we hope you like them too.

They will be great to work with in Pan Pastels. Don't forget the Pink Tulip Demo Day on Saturday 2nd March 10 till 5 with a break between 1pm and 1.30pm

Happy bunny.....

Wow!! What a day!!
It was back to the NEC today for the last day of the trade show, and we (Pink Tulip) have had another gruelling day buying all the new goodies for the shop.
It has been another ego boosting day for me as Kay, from Indigo Blu, has asked me to design some cards for her and given me all the lovely new release stamps to work with. How lucky am I!!

I also had a pressie from Spellbinders of not one, but two sets of new dies. How much better could today get?
Then I was given a scrapbooking pack from the lovely guys from Stampbox.

I Love My Work!!!!

I am posting this from the comfort of my bed, with hardly the energy to lift my cup of tea, but have had a fab time at the show and would like to say a big thank you to Sheila (PTC) for letting me assist in buying all the new products. I look forward to designing new projects for her.

First day done.....

My oh my!
Has Pink Tulip Got some new goodies coming your way.
First day at the show is done and I can't feel my lower legs anymore but it has been so totally worth loosing the feeling in my legs and feet just to help bring new product ranges to the shop.
It was sooooo hard to choose, ( but hey someone has got to do it ) I love my work.
Sheila has worked hard to bring in some new ranges that Tracy and I can't wait to get our hands on and start designing with.
Tomorrow we have to do it all over again!!!
 I know, I know, it's a hard life I've got but I will battle on on your behalf ( Hee hee ).

Check List....

I pad.... Check
Camera.....check
Notepad.....check
Boundless energy, enthusiasm, excitement.....check
Right! That means I'm ready for the big day. Just one more sleep (as my grandchildren say before a big event) till the trade show. Sheila and I  have been busy all week researching products and craft companies that we need to visit and see in the really life, so to speak.
Sheila will ask me, do I want it, do I need it, is it a must have for the shop. (As in Pink Tulip Creations) Then she will ask me what I am going to do with it. So I will be put on the spot to get my designing head on and come up with ideas on how I am going use the stamp, punch, die, paper etc... Before Sheila gives her final seal of approval.
Only problem Sheila has got now is that she will also have Tracy bending her ear on all the goodies she likes too.
So watch this space and you may get some sneaky peaks of the goodies to come.
