More NEC Show photos......

 First up today is Katy Sue Designs, now you know this company as I am on their design team, but for those of you who don't know, as well as lovely craft CD collections they make high quality moulds which can be used for cake decorating, or if used with lightweight clay, for cardmaking

these gorgeous roses are made from one deep mould - how lovely....

and their latest collection are these gorgeous moulds by Kathryn Sturrock, who was at the show demonstrating. They are just fabulous, either on cakes or decorative elements, as you will see in the following photos....and the good news is that they have a USA website as well, just click on the American flag 

The next thing to catch my eye was these fabulous mixed media products, made with VivaDecor waxes and paints. called Inca Gold and Maya Gold. I was so fascinated by the way bits of chipboard could be turned into these fabulous metallic works of arts, that I am going to buy some of these, then I will be able to share with you how to do it......

I'll be back tomorrow to share some of the workshops we did......see you then x

Flying the flag for the UK

One of the joys of trade shows is finding companies that are new to you,  whose product you love - I was blown away by the lovely ScrapBerry 's product line - they bring out about 40 collections a year which include stamps, papers and a whole range of gorgeous embellishments to match

My favourite collections were Vintage Circus, and the quirky cats - loved them.......

They make fabulous metal embellishments as well (at a fraction of the cost of other brands)

This cat range is so quirky and different, love it. I can imagine children's party invites....birthday cards...wall decor for their room....

and a whole range of beautiful quality double sided 12 x 12 papers to match the collections......

another company, new to me was Lavinia stamps - I know you will love some of the sample cards

and lastly, The Hobby House, another UK company 

More to come tomorrow! x

I loved this little doggie scarf....wish I could knit!
