Craftyduckydoodah May Updates

Hello and welcome to May and, hopefully a sunny Bank Holiday weekend!  I have been very busy in my craft room for the last few weeks, playing with upcoming goodies and making samples to share during my catalogue launch event.  Are you coming?  Don't forget to let me know as places are limited!

The 'make & take' project is all prepped and ready for everyone.  Here is a sneaky peak!  The project showcases one of the brand new In-Colours - Golden Glow and a brand new stamp and die bundle.

I have also been very busy sorting out my retired items ready for the BOGOF sale.  If there is an item that you are desperately seeking, drop me a message and if I have it, I will put to one side for you.

In-Colours Club

This year I have a single option to offer that is perfect for those of you who want all the new colours now - cost £77.

The offer includes a full set of the lovely new In-Colours (£63) in the brand new cases along with the In-Colour A4 card assortment (£14 - 20 sheets).  

You will also receive, free of charge a gift from me; a packet of the lovely In-Colour Butterflies (£9.50).  I have used a full pack of these already, they are the perfect accent to many different projects!

Please note, the above offer is not included in my BOGOF sale.
