Morning all!

Oh yes!  You find yours truly up and at ‘em a bit on the early side this morning…….5.30am early!  It’s the first time that I have realised that there are more than one 5.30′s on a friday.  However, as The Boss will be heading south this afternoon, I thought that I would get the Craftmobile loaded and washed.  Add to that the fact that I have all of the DT ( The Inkoids ) samples ready to upload to the gallery, and the major recovery from my forced early wash (see yesterday’s post), and you might see that today will be completely taken over.  Talk about variety!

Anyway, enough of the ramblings of a half awake Goph, and on to some samples.  The bulk of them will be appearing in the gallery later today or early tomorrow……and there are some belters.  However, here is a very small selection for your delectation and delight this fine!!!??  friday morning.

All of the samples feature stamped images from Sheena’s new ‘Floral Fantasy’ stamp sets, available from tomorrow.

The first is from Tracy Inkoid, and features the most vibrant blues…..

….This picture really doesn’t show it off to anywhere near its best, but you get the idea…..Summer is on its way…..Honest!

Next we have this extremely vibrant card from Wor Caroline Inkoid……

This is juicy, jewelish and summery all rolled into one  There are so many techniques going on here that I would need a whole month of blogs just for the samples.

Then from the vibrant blues and purples, we head over to the warm yellows from Inkoid extraordinaire….Wor Karen

Now you could just lift those daffs off the card and put them into a vase.  As usual with Sheena’s stamps, you get a lot of bang for your buck, with the images being so detailed and large to play with.

Then it is back to the blues and greens of an old fashioned English summer with this from Lisa…..

Once again, my photography skills have fallen short of showing this off to its best, but trust me, and who wouldn’t trust this face,…this is beautiful.  It reminds me of some old master, with loose watercolour in the background, then the bluebell flowers almost sculpted onto the card.  I’m having this one for my office wall at Douglass Towers…Just to remind me what summer can be like bearing in mind that June……Yes JUNE, is just around the corner.

Then lastly, and by no means leastly, we have this one from Diane….

How crisp and clean does this look?  Almost embroidered in its look, the colours just spring right out of the card.  I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed these samples.

The show times for tomorrow are…

SAturday 25th…..10am and 3pm

…and will also feature the launch of Sheena’s Clear….yes clear Rock-a-Blocks, along with a host of colouring and stamping goodies.  I have, for once, managed to book the time off to watch the shows myself, so rest assured that my tea cup and bickies are firmly in stand-by mode for tomorrow.

Now then, changing the subject slightly, I have a date for the one off Pebeo Workshop.  I am just waiting for confirmation from the Ravensworth, then I will let the cat out of the bag for those who have been asking and pleading on their knees for  a Pebeo-thon.

OK then.  Thats moi for today, and it’s still only just gone 9!!!  I’ll need a lie down in a darkened room now.  However, I will be back tomorrow with another couple of samples, then me prep for the Cup final tomorrow night.

Bye for now
