What little beauties

I did try to upload a chosen few of the cards made by the DT but I keep crashing this computer.

I would like to thank our DT, Marlene and Tiets for their continued support of this small Scottish Stamp Company, I am delighted with the work of our Guests, be sure to stop by and have a look at the little beauties they have created, Ethel, Miranda, Deb, Anne and Elaine , beautiful work girls thank you so much for being part of our little world.

As we get ready to welcome new stamp designs into the house of sugar, and the label's are printed for the last batch of guest DT members, it is with much amazement that I look at all the cards that are made by everyone.


This time last year I introduced you to Rachelle Anne Miller, can anyone remember that? Rachelle has achieved an amazing amount of things in 2008, most importantly her beautiful baby boy. I have no idea how I found her blog, I wander so much and you can never remember where you have been after a few hour blog hopping. I never stop looking, I never stop thinking and sometimes its the simplest things that work. What will I find next? ;)

They will at an extra nice price and free P & P in UK. Pre orders will be sent out 2nd of Feb with international orders going the week before. This will give the DT time to make up some samples before you all get these Gorjuss stamps.

These six stamps will be available individually towards the end of February. I am not going to give you any more peeks of these Gorjuss Girls but I will tell you that we have some great prizes to be given to a few of the lucky stampers who pre order the set.

Follow Suzanne Woolcott link on the side bar to see all her fabulous artwork, my pictures do not do them justice and those little buttons are just crying out to be put in front of a big blossom. Feel free to do a little shopping, I know a few crafters who having fallen in love with Gorjuss now have more than just a print in their craft space.

There are some important points to be made about images, so please read http://www.gorjuss.co.uk/blog/

wishing you all a gorjuss weekend :)

Whos cards are they?

Here in the house of sugar we have been working a lot with
CRAFT STAMPER http://www.craftstamper.com/issue/issue.aspx?cid=4198
the only pure stamping magazine in the UK. I asked the boss, Debbie, to pick up a copy of the mag while in town today. So as I sit down with my coffee and slice of bithday cake :P I have a little flick at this latest issue

page 3, a picture of Katy, after so many emails its nice to put a face to the name. *waves*
page 31 Sugar Nellie Soft Centre competition,

who's cards were used as samples?

Was it yours?

Are you now published, be it without your name but hey, its a start.

and the back page has a phone in special offer for those who do not have Internet and have to miss out on all these sweet stamps

that's a lot of sugar in one magazine!

There is more to come as we have a few features to submit over the next few months. Our next feature will be all about the Gorjuss Girls, they are almost ready and I spoke to MR GORJUSS to day and hope to bring you news very soon. But who will I have make up the next feature for Craft Stampers? By the time I see someones work it has been seen on the Internet and obviously they want "fresh" work. I will have to have a look around in the next few days, talent spotting that's what I will be doing.

The frost is beginning to thaw, burst pipes flooded our old building, lucky there was no rubber in there, but plenty of soggy stock now going to the skip. The 300 cattle and sheep at home can now drink freely without my DH spending hours thawing out pipes. I hope that you are now frost free and dry :)

A big welcome to all who have jumped over from SCS to see what we are all about. It is very exciting to join you later today, time difference is working out 10am USA time, that's 3pm UK time but there are several time zone in USA, I can only work in Florida time :) Between now and then you have time to pop the roast in the oven for New Year lunch and jump into the sugar bowl to see the beautiful creations that the "sweetie" have created. Congratulations to all those involved with the http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/ , it is fantastic ,thank you girls. The above card is one from Marlene but there are many more to see over on the blog.

I am so please that I feel a need to give away some sugar :)
