The new face of handmade jewellery...

After Becks Faggs trip to Athens this week, she has arrived home absolutely in love with the Cousin Corp Jewellery and she is looking for the new face of handmade jewellery in the UK! So if you have the bug, and have some experience... and are looking for a PAID job (and FREE STASH)... then email becksf@designobjectives.com or leave a comment and she will look at blogs and projects ;)

Get The Papermania Look...

I am so in love with these two kits! (me? bias? noooooooo)

They really are scrummy and perfect for both card makers and scrappers. I hand picked all of the components...and me being me...was very fussy! Afterall...only the best for my Papermania lovers right?

Make sure you grab a kit (hey found a good christmas pressie yet?) and give your cards or pages the Papermania look ;-)

Are You An ATC Kinda Girl?

I know so many more of you are now getting into ATC swaps...and why not?!

An easy, creative way of making new friends and showing off your beautiful talent!

Papermania launched an ATC card and envelope pack only last month and you are all going crazy for them. Why? because you get 50 of them (with envelopes) at just £1.99...all pre-cut (my idea of crafting heaven).

These also make wonderful mini invitations and thank you notes!

even MORE for September 08...

NEW from Anita's this September:

All your favourite Christmas outline stickers, repeated in silver

and gold in a tidy folder that has plenty of storage space. Plus,

an exclusive Rudolph design that's hard to resist!

Use Anita's tweezers with the outline stickers to help pick up

those smaller and intricate pieces more easily.

For Christmas card making in bulk, choose Anita's cream or

white 50 card blanks & envelopes in tall, A6 or square sizes or a 25pk in A5. Good quality and value packs with a free exclusive outline sticker inside!

AND EVEN MORE TO COME IN SEPTEMBER...

It is totally different to Creativity - as the focus is more scrapbooking, photography, family history... of of course all the juicy gossip on the lastest gadget and happenings in the scrap world!

Creativity Life will be ONLY £2.50! First issue you can get as a double bumper pack with Creativity (limited quantities, so maybe ask your store to reserve one for you... I bet your fav retailer would be happy to offer!!) The bumper packs are priced at just £2.50 - so you get one mag for FREE (a word we all like ;)

Looking forward to your feedback... and we have a new forum just for the mag on Craft Talk - see HERE
