If you subscribe to all of our social media, then I fear you have been bombarded today...apparently showing too much all at once is not a very effective marketing strategy, but that is Clearly Besotted all over hahaha!

We have a stamping demonstration video up on our Facebook page and a giveaway will go up later today so please head on over if you are not already sick of us today haha!

Thanks a million as always - you are fabulous :D

Wishing You The Best Birthday Ever

Our Planner series is quite popular but we have run out of animals beginning with the letter 'p', any suggestions? ;) haha!

Heartfelt Thanks

I am thankful for so much, but this year, I am particularly thankful for my marriage getting back on track...I regret the many years it was neglected and I'm astonished (but delighted!) at how wonderful it is now.  It was simply down to spending more time and doing things together, so obvious, but it works!  I don't think it's a coincidence that this is also the happiest I have been in a long while :)

Stamps - Happy Halloween & Fancy Sayings / Dies - Lawn Fawn / Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black; VersaMagic Dew Drops

December is fast approaching which means that I can put the tree up soon, the Christmas decorations are out of the garage and I am super excited!!


Before I go, I mustn't forget to mention that I am also thankful for you, for reading and supporting my blog, thank you :)

Stephanie xoxo

Sparkles From Our Family To Yours

Well, I've caught up with all my posts so this is the last one for today!  I'm sharing some very quick and simple designs for Christmas mass production...

Stamps - Christmas Sparkle & Christmas Sparkle Again / Ink - VersaMark / Other - Gold & Silver Embossing Powder

I'm going into hibernation mode for the rest of the week because my husband is away again (Paris, London and Holland this week) and the children are with my brother, whom they infinitely adore!  No doubt I'll be spending a lot of time in my craftroom to pass the hours :)

Thanks a million for your company and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

Stephanie xoxo
