Evening friends...

Today, I am saying goodbye to the Merly Impressions DT. I've had a wonderful time as part of this team and I wish the new team the best of luck in the future but there's one person I really want to say a very big thank you to, and that's Chrissy ~ thank you for all your support throughout the 18 months I have worked alongside you and I know that I will be working with Kaisercraft goodies in the future and I already have three wonderful projects to be featured in the future issues of Making Cards Magazine!

So, as I say farewell to move onto new and exciting projects...here is my last card and in my opinion, I think I saved the best until last... As always, I hope you like it!

You can click HERE to be whisked over to the Merly Impressions blog to see how I made this card and what I used.

The mannequin is a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Alterations die and that HUGE flower is die cut from chiffon material, using the Tattered Florals die. I thought I'd make a statement on this card and I just love how it turned out!!

So, that's it from me for today and I'm now going to head to the kitchen, see what's in those cupboards of mine and make dinner!

See you all very soon with another creation from Chez Williams'

Bye for now...love Emma xxx

Kraft Essentials at Craftwork Cards...

Morning everyone!! Hope the sun is shining wherever you are today and that you're ready for a wonderful weekend...

To begin with, I just wanted to say a big "HELLO" to all my new followers ~ thank you so much for following my blog and I hope you enjoy the stories and creations that appear here regularly!! :)

I also wanted to say, THANK YOU for all your amazing comments that you left on my last blog post...I was overwhelmed with the response and you all just blew me away. I was especially jumping for joy when I saw THE Wendy Vecchi had left me a comment...Wendy is someone who I greatly admire and whose work always makes is just amazing...so, as you can imagine, seeing a comment from Wendy really made my day!! Also, thank you to Mel Hookham for your lovely comment ~ it made me LOL and I won't tell if you won't!! Tee hee... ;) 

Anyway back to today, and I'm sharing a few of my latest projects over on the Craftwork Cards Blog and if you click HERE, you can see all the projects, with lots of detailed photos and all the details of what I used and links to all the gorgeous CWC products. But to whet your appetites, I thought I would share just a few sneaky peeks before you head on over there....

As always, I hope you like them....

I made this little mini album using my trusty Sizzix/Tim Holtz Alterations dies to cut the pages and used papers and embellishments from Craftwork Cards to decorate it.

Boxes and kraft flowers are all available to buy from Craftwork Cards

...as is the wreath!!!

...and last but by no means least ~ a card!!!

So, if you LOVE Craftwork Cards and you're inspired by my makes and would like to make some of your own ~ then this weekend, is definitely the weekend to go and treat yourself to some new and really fabulous goodies and I can't wait to see all your makes.

As ever, thank you for stopping by and having a look at what I've created today...so looking forward to reading all your comments!!
