Hello friends
Pet Gallery Day!
Let me introduce you to Rolo Small aged 3
He is looking very happy and comfortable on a nice sofa with cushions.
Rolo is owned by Janice.
Rolo is a Border Terrier.
Janice explains that Rolo lives up to his name of Terrier as he can be a terror at times.
He loves small
furry things and tries to "hunt" but not very successfully as he makes so much
noise in his hunting attempts that whatever he is after gets plenty of warning!
Welcome to the Gallery Rolo - a tasty treat is on its way to you.
The final paperwork for the new studio/shop should be signed and sorted soon.
I've had the keys on loan for a week to get estimates for plastering, ceiling etc
but mostly I tended to just stand in there and imagine all the things I want to do!
The front Georgian window is quite large so I have to think of ways to make that look attractive -
I always like to hear ideas....I have VELCRO! :)
And now a card - I'm revisiting some of last year's cards, this is again created
with Cosmo Cricket - Odds and Ends paper.
Labels Twenty Two (with its bottom cut off!) makes the easel shape,
a smaller one cut with patterned paper. Inked the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink.
A polka dot Layered Poinsettia and a stamped tag threaded with ribbon.
The card folds back to stand up on a strip of patterned paper raised with 3D Foam Pads.
That's my little round up of news today, have a lovely day.
I'm back tomorrow.
Take care friends.

Hi Christine, sorry I had to delete my last comment, somehow my IPad came up with words I did not type.
Rolo is lovely, your shop will be amazing after you have added all your touches, and the card is beautiful.

Morning Christine, your studio will be wonderful after you have given it the "Christine" touch. Looking forward to seeing how it develops in the coming weeks. Bet your mind is racing with ideas - and maybe the velcro WILL come in handy...hehehe.

Morning Christine, Rolo is divine, he looks so happy and comfy there on the sofa.
Your card is gorgeous, love those papers and the distressing goes really well.
Your new studio looks really good, no doubt you will be putting lovely 'dotty' and 'patterned' bunting up at the window, completed with hanging gorgeous 'butterflies'.
Lots of love from Patricia xx

Your card is gorgeous, easel cards are one of my favourites! Your new premises are looking good, love the window already, and that's before you've dressed it! You must be so excited at the minute, with lots of ideas buzzing around in your head! Looking forward to seeing the developments.
Have a lovely day today at Barleylands.

Hi Christine,
well Rolo is sooo cute. I wonder if he is named after the chocolate. Here we go my sweet tooth talking again.
Your card is fabulous, and I love that idea of the shaped part of the die on the easel card. Must have a go at that one.
Your shop looks fab to me, when it's been sorted and decorated, I must try and visit you. I can see wonderful butterflies hanging in the windows somewhere. I'm sure you will make a superb job of what ever you decide on.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Hi Christine, very late today problems with pc and getting on line.PC getting old like me.
What a lovely little chap Rolo is. Our neighbours have two little fellows like him, they were friends of Brenig's.
How do you contain your excitement and enthusiasm regarding the shop?!
Cant wait to see pics of you in there and up and running. C.B.W. Carolyn x.
What a lovely dog Rolo is. Your shop is going to be awesome which its finished, can't wait to see it and your card is gorgeous! xx
Love the card Christine, reminds me of the stage in a theatre, so endless possibilities there.
I am sure the shop will be stunning, it has such a pretty exterior. I am so looking forward to joining one of your classes next year. Anne.
