The World of Magnolia

For those of you who have never had the delight of using Magnolia Stamps, let me be the first to introduce you to their exciting and beautiful collection of foam-backed rubber stamps. Magnolia is a company based in Sweden who produce a whole range of Edwin and Tilda stamps. The designs are very intricate and when layered together produce amazing images for cards and scrapbooking alike. I have attached some examples above.

Magnolia now produce a magazine called Magnolia INK and I would recommend anyone to invest in this little gem as the pages are full with ideas and creative layouts to keep any crafter busy for hours! For more information, please visit Magnolia's Website

Paper Roses Tutorial

Whilst exploring a great little site called Little Light Studio I discovered this great tutorial. It shows you how to make pretty little paper roses to add depth to any project. Use either plain papers or for a more professional look, why not use double sided papers so that you get double the colour effect!

Click this link to see step-by-step instructions. Happy crafting!

New Stock Just In!

New albums just arrived... 12 x 12 with beautiful flower and bird motifs. Only €18.99 and perfect for personal scrap projects or ideal as a gift. There are also matching papers and embellishments to make your craft project something truly special.

I have some great papers for the boys entitled 'London Rock' with music motifs, Great Britain emblems and lots of funky designs.

Brightly coloured miniature wooden pegs and wooden heart embellishments to make your projects even more individual.

And the piece de resistance... French alphabet and imagery stamps for those times when English words are not sufficient.

Temporary Closure!

Due to our new bar opening in a matter of days we are unfortunately closed until Saturday 23rd April. We will resume normal hours upon re-opening. All of our creative time has been 'scrapped' as we paint, build and prepare to open the doors to Giac's Music Lounge / Salon de the. However, we have some great new stock arriving in the next fortnight so please keep watching for more details! Love Ange x

Handy Hint # 1

Tim Holtz - Distress Techniques

Tutorial bought to you by Tim Holtz, the great mind behind Distress Inks. Please see his tutorial below for some great ideas for luggage tags...

Les Grande Opening....

Excited and nervous the opening day has arrived at last! My first customer arrived as soon as the door opened and from then on until midday it was a steady stream of customers coming in to see what the new shop had to offer. Many of my previous customers came in over the course of the day and it was nice to see you all and to catch up on what's happening in your world of crafting. Thank you for your support in making my first day memorable.

There will be tutorials coming soon, not all from me but also from well known crafters such as Tim Holtz for those of you who like distress techniques.

Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you all in the near future. Happy crafting!

Et Voila...

Literally! The shelves are bursting with rainbow coloured ribbons, sweetie jars of bubblegum buttons, enough flowers to decorate the Arc de Triomphe and everything a crafter could hope to find all under one very pretty roof.

In true 'Bafta' style I just want to say a VERY BIG thank you to everybody who has given up their time, blood, sweat and tears to help me turn my dream into a reality. I couldn't have done it without you!

We are opening the doors at 9am this Saturday... so come down... bring your creative friends... and let your imagination run away with you. We can't wait to see you.

Finishing Touches...

My sign went up today! Hooray. Everything is finally coming together. It's been four weeks of sanding, painting, re-wiring and stock taking. There were inevitably a few minor 'bumps' in the road... trying to explain my logo designs in French and turning off the water supply to the whole building (thank goodness for our very understanding landlord!) But I am finally ready to open the doors to Et Voila on Saturday 12th March!

I hope to see you there... happy and scrappy x
