Afternoon folks!
Firstly I must apologise to my teamies over at The Pixie Cottage for the lateness of my card for yesterday's showcase! I was at the NEC in Birmingham for the Hobbycraft Show and so I scheduled my card....... but did Mr Blogger oblige? Oh no, not one bit!!! So it's here today, better late than never and I do hope you'll get the chance to hop over to The Pixie Cottage Blog where the girls have produced some amazing creations to tempt you into buying all the wonderful Christmas releases.
The theme for our showcase is Christmas and I've tried to show the versatility of the PC stamps by using this sweet bear and his little whiskered friends...... not necessarily a Christmas stamp but with the right sentiment it works a treat!
Well yesterday was just the most amazing day and to meet all you wonderful bloggers in person (hello....waving at you all) was a real treat for me! We had such a giggle and I think our feet will be throbbing until next weekend, lol! I came home with 54p (won't tell you how much I went with....EEEEKKK) and I don't think I'll be washing my left hand now for the next month so I can keep the stamped 'H' as a momento!!
On this first piccie you can see Jacqui, Bev, Caz and a very giggly Marlene (I think Marlene giggles alot, hee hee)
On this next one the girlies are having a right good giggle about something..... told you I caught you in hysterics Jacqui!!!
Here I think Heather is just about to tell me off for catching her on camera (hee hee) and Kim is having a good old look at what is in her butties!!
This one is the Basic Grey teamies (Heather, Jo, Kim aka Mary Poppins and me) giving it large grins!!
Here are the BG girls again with Tab just as she was leaving...... and thanks to the lovely Leigh (Tab's hubby) for taking this shot and many others, you're a diamond! My hubster would love to know what Leigh was doing all day Tab whilst you were demoing?
Big waves also go to Kim who was demoing with Tab on the Magnolia stand..... sorry I didn't get your piccie hun and very sorry I didn't recognise you in the morning when we first arrived, lol!
Fantastic to meet my best buddies Jo and Heather after all this time and can't wait to see you again at the next one!!
Big hugs, Tara xxx

OMG it was so fab meeting you honey, you are just as lovely as I thought that you would be, and I am well chuffed that we got a piccy together at the end! Have you seen what the sign says above us LOL, Leigh noticed it first and he is wetting himself laughing at it LOL, I think he was hoping someone would take up the show offer LOL, sadly he is stuck me though....he is into painting so was watching all the artist demo and stuff, don't worry he didn't have to work round the craft stuff all day, bless him LOL!!!
Looking forward to meeting up with you all again at the next show, fingers crossed eh?
Much love, honey!

LOVE your card Tara - wow - so much incredible detail on it! And the sentiment is brilliant and so versatile with a non-christmas stamp! And thanks so much for sharing those pics - I loved seeing them. Just makes me wish I didn't live so far away across the pond (either that or have an unlimited bank account to travel to all the craft shows, lol)!!!
Hugs, Danielle
Fab card Tara, love all the wonderful texture, I want to reach out and touch it!
Fab photos too, just wish I lived nearer so that I could have met you and all the others. We're just gonna have to have a big blog buddy get-together one day, probably at the O2 arena to house all of us lol!
Love Sarita xx

Hey-Up Tara, wasn't Saturday fun? It was wonderful to be able to meet you in real life :) So have you used all your lovely goodies? I think I've used one thing already :) Kim
First of all. I love your card. All of the layers are just fabulous.
Secondly. I am soooooo jealous. You meeting with all those fun folks. It's a shame I have to live across the world from all of you fun ladies. What a wonderful life it is when you can like someone before you even meet them with something as simple as a hobby.
Your pictures are wonderful. You all look like you were having too much fun!
Hugs,
Pam
