The random number generator has spoken...Thank you to everyone who left a comment - Adrian and I both appreciate all the kind words and support that you guys are sending our way. Yes he will be off with me next week, but we will be spending a lot of it with Derrick and Alma and probably a fair chunk of it with social services as we are making a transition from agency provided care to actually

Many of you spotted that the peacock stamps had sold out on the Create and Craft website, almost in the first day. Well yesterday there were several conversations back and forth about whether we could send a top up order to them. Of course we can I said. It's not as if we're busy with trade orders from last week's retreat, glimmer mist orders from the launch of the Glimmer with Glenda show,

Back in April, I announced ten winners of the Peacock Summer Party CD. We have the contact details for some of the winners, but there are still some lucky ladies out there who have won, but not been in touch to give us details of where to send their prize!Below is the list of winners as originally posted. If your name is on the list and we don't have your address, you need to get in touch with us

I'm all packed and just about to head off to Peterborough for today's live show (2.pm). The good stuff is all in my trolley, but from the debris on my craft table, I thought I'd share these little snippets, all from the Filigree Fusion themeplate, embossed in gold over Glimmer Misted backgrounds.I have had such fun with these stamps and I think it's high time I had a giveaway on the blog!So

Would you like a cup of tea? Well here I am on the way home again after filming a lovely show with Nigel. It flew by and I had hoped to get more demonstrations in, but I have a plan to get some step by step stuff done here on the blog with the demos that didn't get shown.When I came out of the studio I called Adrian and had the most wonderful, if rather unexpected news. Derrick is coming home

Hey this is so cool. Here I am on the East Coast mainline, on my way to Peterborough to film the Peacock show this afternoon. I think I could get used to train travel in this kind of style.I forgot to mention in the last post that we also have a show on July 23rd on Ideal World and the plan at the moment is to launch our Christmas stamps on that show. In fact, I think we have two shows on that

If you're watching Create and Craft next week, you're likely to see a lot of me as we have the Pick of the Week with the new Peacock Summer Party CD and two stamp sets, Peacock Ladies and Peacock Fan.These are just a handful of the images from the CD, all available in different page layout formats, as well as greetings and inserts.We are expecting our own stock in next Tuesday so we will be

I thought you might like to see a picture of our house...Lovely, isn't it? Yeah, right, I wish! This is Headlam Hall Hotel where I have just spent the last two days running an intense two day event for our Elusive Images retailers. There was a lot of preparation went into the event, but it was all worth it, I think everyone had a fantastic time.With 8 one and a half our classes in two days,

On Friday morning Joanna Sheen made me cry.Yes, you heard right. To explain why, I need to backtrack just a wee bit.You see, it's been a really tough week for Derrick - he just hasn't been able to keep any food down and the poor guy is exhausted by it all and tired of constantly feeling and being sick. I haven't seen as much of him this week as I feel I should because I've been working hard for

Maybe. I think. Or maybe not. I'm really not sure.You see I have one person at Ideal World telling me that my Peacock CD show will be going out on the 13th July and another saying it's been brought forward to the 6th.Who knows?!I tried to blog earlier tonight, but blogger was a bit off colour and simply wouldn't play. So I'll just keep this one short and sweet and show you the amazing necklace

You may have heard that Craft Stamper magazine is having a bit of a make-over and launching a new look with the August issue (out early July). Well I am waiting with baited breath to see if they have made a rich, vibrant, classy, inspirational stamping magazine, or whether it will simply look like a clone of all the other magazines out there. Wearing my Elusive Images hat, I am supporting the

No, it's not a reference to more injured animals, it's how I'm feeling at the moment. I'm teaching our first Christmas workshop tomorrow, so I'm busy finalising the cards for that right now. Then next week we have a big event planned for our retailers at a local hotel - showing off the entire range of Elusive Images products. It's Monday and Tuesday next week and they are each going to be doing 8

Thanks to everyone who has asked about the poor little injured cat. He has had a comfortable night and is breathing without oxygen. The owners have been in touch with the vet, so as they have come forward, the vet can't really discuss much with me as I am not responsible for the cat any more. He has had an X-Ray, but I have no idea what the results are at this stage. I will try to find out from

Well, we've had birds, bats, dogs and now cats .... am I running a papercrafting business or is this Animal Rescue?!Today's animal story is an ongoing drama and we don't know if the poor thing is going to make it. Adrian left the house five minutes after I did this morning and just a few minutes from our house, saw a cat lying in the road with a small black kitten sniffing at it. The cat had

Here are a few more cards featured on the Glimmer with Glenda show. I'd love to take credit for them, but these are all by our talented Design Team member Helen Chilton (you might recognise her name from Craft Stamper too).She's used rub ons for a lot of the words - must find out where she got the letters she used on the Spring card, I like those.There is a Summer card too, but I missed it when

What a way to spend Father's Day! Yes, Derrick is back in his favourite hotel, Bishop Auckland General.Adrian has written about it on his blog, but as an update to what he has written, we visited him tonight and he is actually a lot brighter and perkier than he was this afternoon.Basically his kidneys aren't coping well with the cocktail of medication that he was sent home with and he has been

Here is one of the cards that I made for the Glimmer Mist TV show. It uses the butterfly screen and uses a technique that requires a little patience because you need to let the Mists dry naturally.Lay the screen down and spray your chosen Glimmer Mists - I used Timeless Lilac in one corner and Tiger Lily in the other corner - letting the colours blend where they overlap.Put plenty of colour on,

I blinked on Monday morning and next thing I know, it's Friday night. If I had to sum up this week it would be prepping-stressing-driving-filming-prepping-filming-driving-FLOP!The little, teeny weeny bit of stressing in there comes from the fact that the two live shows planned for this Monday (16th June) are now not happening.

There's nothing like publishing a schedule to invoke Murphy and make the schedule change...Since giving you all that info about the upcoming shows, it's changed so many times I'm not sure if I'm coming or going. On Friday afternoon one show was postponed, but another show was added. On Monday morning two were taken away. New CD testing procedures have been introduced that nobody told me about,

I can finally reveal what I've been keeping under wraps. Next week, as you may recall, I am filming a Christmas show and the Peacock CD show. The Peacock show is actually going to be a Pick of the Week, probably going out at the end of June and may (not confirmed yet) have free postage and packing! The Christmas show is with the current Season's Greetings CD and existing stamps, nothing new

Well I have been truly blessed this year and spent my birthday with good friends, close family and the bestest of hubbies. I was spoilt rotten and lavished with gifts, talk about Queen for a day, wow. Thank you to everyone who made it special.

Basil isn't feeling too well.He's had us quite worried as we got home tonight to find him trying to be sick, but racked by hiccoughing spasms and foaming at the mouth. We put their food down and they both started eating, then Sesame was sick, oh joy.

Living in the country does sometimes make for an interesting day. I was working at home most of this week and on Wednesday lunchtime I decided to hang the washing outside, something I don't think I have been able to do for about two years thanks to our wet summers. While I was out there, I could hear the lambs bleating in the field next to the house, but after a few minutes it dawned on me

Sorry, that was a long tease, wasn't it? It has just been one of those crazy weeks with lots happening, but not a lot I can share yet.

I have been working hard on new stuff, a lot of which is still under wraps. But I am so excited at the new stamps that are coming out next month and in the next few days I will be giving you a sneak preview and running a little blog candy giveaway.

You asked about the technology I use - I have an iMac and a Mac Pro with 8 processor cores, 1.3 terabytes of storage and 6 gigabytes of RAM (you asked!).

I didn't explain in the last entry why I was cleaning out my cupboard under the stairs. It might sound crazy, but it is where Graphicus began eight years ago. I really could stretch the Harry Potter analogy by saying it has been a magical journey of discovery, complete with occasional Voldemorts, unexpected explosions and lifelong friends, but I don't want to get all trite.You see, our cupboard

I have to pass a message on to blog readers Chris and Lucy from Derrick - he says thank you very much for the lovely hand made cards. He's been home less than a week and he is bored rigid!

A while ago I road tested Wordpress to see if it was any better than Blogger and it does have certain features that, in my opinion, make it more versatile.I have therefore decided that I will be moving house sometime in the next couple of months. However, unlike a real house move, the great thing about a cyber-move is that I can re-furbish and decorate before I move in and get the place just the

You know, I sometimes wonder if I have seasonal affective disorder. The weather at the moment is just filling me with joy and energy.

I seem to have had a little bit of a blogging dry spell, but I am still very much alive and kicking. Derrick came home on Tuesday and it would seem the sun has come out to celebrate.

It's turning into a rather busy weekend for various reasons. The mess finally got to me so I have donned the marigolds and squared up to the spiders and had a bit of a cleaning fest. Just how much junk can two adults accumulate?!!!?!? Well, I have dusted the junk and moved it around from one place in the house to another and doubtless in the next year or two, it will all be have to be done again,

Let me introduce you all to Derrick. Any resemblence to the Specsavers Thunderbird character is purely coincidental ... oh, and he's the one sitting down in the middle, in case you were wondering.Yesterday was his first time out of the hospital in over five weeks - he was escorted home by a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist to assess the house and what his care needs will be at home.

Derrick is doing really well - so much so that the nurses are going to ask the doctors on Monday if he can be allowed out with supervision during the afternoons. He is going home for a visit on Tuesday for an Occupational Therapy assessment in his own home. We've arranged it all for Tuesday because it's Alma's birthday, so they can spend the afternoon together.I told him that people were

So here I am facing two computers. My new one is compiling CD files which is a slow process. On the other, I am scanning in new drawings to make into stamps. As each one is scanned, it is saved, then sent over the network to the other computer. While the file is scanning, I am cutting out or colouring in some stamped images, preparing for my next lot of TV filming. I have a document open in the

The mobile broadband wasn't very stable over at Adrian's mum's tonight, so I couldn't get online til I got home. So I shall keep it short and sweet tonight, 'cause it's late and I need to be fresh when handling bodkins, scalpels and sewing needles tomorrow (my bookbinding class).

Our current routine involves Adrian having a lot of late nights as he stays with his mum in the evenings until she goes to bed. Sometimes I'm already asleep when he gets in, then he's often up early and back over there to get her up in the morning, depending on which carer has the early morning shift. We are getting there, but now and again, the carer is someone new, so Adrian needs to be

Well I have to say big fat thank you to everyone who has sent me such sweet and supportive messages about Sunday's show.

Well, if anyone tuned in yesterday to watch me on Ideal World, all I can say is sorry you didn't get to see much of me. I know Joanna Sheen's forum had some choice words to say on the subject, bless 'em, and I've had a flood of emails complaining that the amount of time I got just wasn't fair.

Thank you all so much for your continued support during the inaugural PSP Awareness week. This officially finished yesterday, but Adrian and I were interviewed last week about living with someone with PSP and that interview is going to be shown on TV tonight, Sunday 13th April.The interview is scheduled to be part of the program "This is the North East", which will be on at 6.25pm on Tyne Tees

I was just too tired to blog yesterday - we had another fab day on Saturday at Graphicus and we raised about £190 for PSP on David's lovely food and the raffle. Graphicus will match the total amount, so all of you who contributed deserve a big inky-fingered pat on the back.

As I left the house this morning, there was a perfect, full arch rainbow in the sky. It stayed with me for the whole journey, fading in and out as the rain and the sun argued over who was going to have dominance in the sky. At one point it was so bright and strong that I could see two fainter echoes of it. It lifted my mood and made me think how even in the midst of rain, the sun can come

I thought I'd better just let you know I'm still here, but it's been a difficult time as Adrian's dad is still quite poorly.

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent their best wishes in to us all, it is very much appreciated.To any readers who are new to my blog (and judging by the flood of comments on PSP, I'm guessing there are), let me just say that this is not a blog about my family and their problems. This blog is normally about crafting. It's my release mechanism; a place to share my creative experiments.

We normally go down the night before for a morning show, but decided to do the early morning run this time, which is what we normally do when we have a Sunday show.

Well I have been struggling to catch up in blogland since I got back from the show, but I have been rushed off my feet with all sorts of things. Early Saturday morning I sat down to get photos edited and take some pics of the ATCs I made on Friday night. I was foiled by technology every way I turned. Both my camera and Adrian's had flat batteries, so I couldn't download the show photos or take

No, I haven't disappeared to an alternate universe, we just got back last night from the Craft, Hobby & Stitch trade show and what a fantastic show it was! We had no internet access while we were away and it's been an exhausting trip, but we're home safe (200 miles of fog, ice and snow doesn't make for the most pleasant drive) and we picked up our babies from the cattery today, so we're currently

Oh, you guys! I made it into the office today, and what did I find ...? Tonnes of emails from blog readers and customers who'd heard I was ill, all sending get well wishes. There were lovingly crafted cards waiting for me too, I really wasn't expecting any of this - you guys are wonderful!I wasn't really thinking about it, but the email address I put on my blog is one that I only ever get on

Oh, this has not been pleasant. After thinking I was on the mend last Wednesday, I spent the next few days being very sick with awful stomach pain and no way to tolerate painkillers. I was not a happy bunny.But today, I woke up with no headache (yay!), no stomach ache (double yay!), and a feeling of cautious optimism that maybe I really was finally over whatever this horrible bug (or series of

I'm still here! It's been a most unpleasant week and the only consolation is that I appear to have lost about half a stone. Not that I would advocate illness as the way to go about it. I have had a chest infection, an ear infection and a sinus infection and I still have the cough which has grown from a mere pesky to rather debilitating.It may come as no surprise to hear I haven't done a single

Well it would seem my pesky cough is a little more than that, hence the lack of blogging that I promised. I've been in a right old state for the last couple of days so Adrian called the doctor out and I have been given strict instructions to rest and take the medicine, otherwise what is now a nasty chest infection could well turn into pneumonia, yikes!I lined up this digi download for you the

Thank you all for the wonderful captions that you keep on sending in. Basil and Sesame appreciate that the humans are making an effort to exercise their inferior mental powers. Meanwhile they join paws in contemplating the meaning of life.A few of you have had a go at the DTP challenge so I'll be putting some pictures of that up tomorrow, plus a new Artylicious paper download. Tonight I'm

So my mentally subnormal brother gets a caption competition just for looking dim, whereas my superior cuteness is completely overlooked? Very well. I shall ignore you and refuse to look at the camera.OK, OK, I'll put your picture on the blog too. There - happy now?Inspired by my newly tidy craft room (and some new stamps) I did create a little something last night. On the left is the card

I'm lining up one or two treats for next week. I have some new stamps that I'm busy playing with, plus I will be issuing a new downloadable paper to see what y'all think of it.I've spent the last few days tidying up the craft room, so haven't actually done much crafting, but now I can see worktop for the first time in ages and I actually know what's in the boxes on the shelves. Amazing!

We have another winner - big round of applause - it's Dot Crackles!!I almost forgot, but remember the great clear versus rubber debate? I said I'd give away a Hero Arts clear stamp set and I meant to do the draw last week, but got sidetracked with the Damask stamp giveaway - I just love giving stuff away!!So well done to Dot, she wins this cute set of bird greetings. Hope you like birds Dot,

I promised you technique so here's my step by step guide to the Direct to Paper technique.Karin said... Hi Glenda, My query is relating to building up background layers with stamping and inks. I can't seem to master this do you have any hints and tips.This is such a favourite technique of mine - I learned this with Helene from Magenta several years ago and I keep coming back to it again and

Yukkkk! No I'm not referring to Ideal World yesterday, but to the horrible journey back today. We decided not to come straight back up last night, but ended up driving in just the most horrible conditions today. Driving rain, high winds, huge amount of surface water and spray and just as the light was fading, fog! Plus we were aware for most of the journey that we had some pretty nasty snowy

Well, the week has just flown past, punctuated on Wednesday evening by some idiot driving right into the back of Adrian's car. He was in slow moving traffic, so it wasn't anything serious, but they destroyed the bumper and dented the rear door badly.So Ziggy (the car) is currently in hospital awaiting a full diagnosis from a car doctor. It could be a week or two before we see him again, but

It's been a long hard day at work, so I'm about to crash out, but I just wanted to let you know that Adrian has written a HUGE post over on his blog all about how he's managed to lose a stone in weight in four (five?) weeks. It makes for interesing and rather entertaining reading.I'd also like to say thanks for all the comments, you are all so lovely to give me such encouragement and positive

The new damask stamps have been given product codes, which means that you can order them by telephone (order hotline is 0800 783 22 43). Carrie Anne will be putting them up on the website as soon as she can, but they are available now for those of you who are still mopping up drool off your keyboards.This one is UA4SP0173 Damask Squaresand this one is UA4SP0174 Damask Hearts and you should see

I am still around, but as you know, I have a live TV show on Sunday to get ready for. It's a work in progress...One of my "auntie Glenda" questions was about how I put it all togther and where I get my inspiration from. Well, I guess it's only fair to admit I have studied art and design which helps, but isn't a pre-requisite for being creative. I always compare crafting to cooking. There are

This is Sesame. You may have already been introduced.Adrian and I, as you know, are devoted servants of Bast and perform our duties with rigorous care and attention. Take today for example. One of those tasks which is hotly disputed between ourselves and our honoured masters - a trip to the Vet.We have tried to explain that we don't undertake this lightly. We are not sadists on a power trip

As promised, here's the picture of the tag made using the faux batik technique.This stamp comes from the Paisley Elephant themeplate and it's matches a design on the Filigree Fusion CD as well. It's probably one of my all time favourite designs actually. I love using it to make backgrounds. Here's a direct to paper background which also features a stamp from the peacock glory plate, and uses
