Sneak Peeks! *New* World of Imagination....

Today I'm sharing super exciting news and sneak peeks (my favourite!) As I mentioned, next week we will be launching something new and super exciting, a completely new brand and product range and something I have been working on for over a year! There are a ton of exciting things and products in the works - I can't even tell you how many! but the first few will launch next week.

Here are a couple of sneak peeks I've shared over on Facebook. Firstly... here is a little look into one of the boxes delivered last week (we are literally surrounded by boxes right now and have lots and lots more on the way - eeek!)

(little clue, this probably isn't for you might think...)

Secondly, here is a look at one of the new types of packaging, what could possibly be in these cute suitcases???

(little clue, it isn't anything from the box above...)

And thirdly, here is a little sneak at what I was creating today, this is a very small part of something bigger

 (little clue, this DOES go in the box above!)

Confused yet? I hope not too much! This range is called The World of Imagination...

You can find out a little more over on the World of Imagination Facebook page (I don't normally set up new pages and things for different ranges as I like to keep everything on my main page BUT this is too big to keep it just on my page!!) and there will be a lot more sneak peeks and news over there all week long before our big launch next week - I hope you'll come and join us!!!

Thank you for dropping by today and sharing in our excitement, we hope you love it all as much as we at Hurley HQ do!

Sneak Peeks! New Craft Kits

If you are on my Facebook page, you may have already seen a few little peeks I've been sharing this week, but I wanted to post them all here too for those of you who aren't!

Firstly, my new Storybook Craft Kit, contains a Cinderella storybook (rewritten and illustrated by me!) as well as everything you need to make a Cinderella doll and 2 outfits - her raggedy outfit and her ballgown...

This will be available in around 2 weeks. The storybook is available now though as a kindle download on Amazon, you can find it here! A big thank you to everyone who has downloaded it already, your support means so much!

Secondly, this little robin will be joining the softie kit line up next week...

Now, I must get back to work, I'm working on a whole new range of kits for a brand new stockist who I will be telling you about next week - exciting times!

Thank you for dropping by today!

*New* Documented365 and Project Life!

In my previous post I mentioned that lots of new Documented365 goodies were on their way and they are now here! Here is a little peek...

These are all now available right here in my shop!

I wanted to show you how I use my Documented365 bits and pieces, and hopefully give you some inspiration. Of course, I use them in my regular scrapping but just recently I've started my Project Life album and these fit perfectly with that. The reason I created Documented365 was because I loved the concept of Project Life but it was just a little bit too quick and simple for me (I do love to complicate things! lol) and I wanted to mix things up a bit and keep my own style and keep things very creative and tailored to each week. I know lots of people love to use the core kits to make a perfectly coordinated album, but for me, every week is different and I wanted my album to reflect that.

I did buy the gorgeous Honey core kit and recently swapped half of it for half of someones Jade kit (which I loved so much I will be buying a whole one, though I will probably swap half for something else too!) but I add in other bits, cards made from scraps, cards from other manufacturers, cards from my 'A Few of My Favourite Things...' kits and of course, my Documented365 cards and embellishments. So here is a weeks spread for you to see how I put it all together... (you can click to see the pictures bigger)

This card was made just from scraps of October Afternoon, used to make a custom header card - I like to put the dates at the beginning as I didn't start from January 1st.

Here are some Documented365 cards in with the Honey cards and a custom card - see how it all fits together - love! I also used one of the chipboard slide frames and covered it in gold stickles to highlight my shiny gold picture!

 

Here I've used some of my stamps directly on my Instagram prints (I get mine from Printed.com in 2 sizes)

I cut into this Honey Project Life card to make a photo holder, the clouds hold the picture in place! those alpha stickers are from Simple Stories Sn@p and are brilliant value as you get lots of different colours in one pack! The 'Awesomesauce' stamp is one of mine :o)

Here the 'Everyday Moments' header card is a Documented365 chalkboard card, the gold foil letterpress card is from Skipping5 (gorgeous!) and the little chalkboard pin badge and hashtag and 'amazeballs' stamps are from my range.

The currents card is from Documented365, (there is a little sneaky peek at my big exciting project right there in the top corner if you have a look ;o))

Here are another couple of close ups - you can see I've done a lot of stamping in Hero Arts neon pink ink -love it so much, I'm obsessed! and there is some washi tape too

Finally, a close up of each side, here is the left side...

and the right side...

My album is still coordinated but it won't look the same as anyone else's who has the same core kit, which is what I wanted. The Core Kits are such a great foundation, I just wanted to build on that and keep things unique and I think Documented365 fills that gap - I hope you agree!

I'll be sharing some more of my Project Life soon - I'm still catching up from the middle of June when I started - B bought me the core kit and album as one of my birthday pressies (he knows me so well!)

Documented365 & A Few of My Favourite Things... Kit Club News!!

More exciting news to share today, this time for Documented365 and A Few of My Favourite Things...

Firstly, you may have been missing your Documented365 products and inspiration - the response to the launch of Documented365 was HUGE and it still continues to be a best seller, it was so overwhelming that I decided to do a much bigger product range than initially planned, so launching in 2 weeks is the next phase of Documented365 including Journaling Cards, Papers, Stamps and much more! These are perfect to use on their own or combined with Project Life, Sn@p or any other similar memory keeping system - I will be bringing you regular inspiration of how I use mine both on its own and in conjunction with my Project Life kits, my Design Team will also be contributing their own take on this fab memory system - from the modular journaling cards to full layouts, albums and everything in between, we'll have everything covered!

Secondly, even more exciting, is that from this month, the A Few of My Favourite Things... kits will have a Documented365 add on every single month! bringing you extra journaling cards, stamps and embellishments all tailored to this style of scrapbooking, be sure to sign up now to ensure you are first in line to snap one up alongside your regular kit! Kit club members will be seeing some of the first products and have exclusives within the kits that won't be available anywhere else!

You'll be seeing the Documented365 website and blog have a little makeover over the next 2 weeks and some sneak peeks both here and on my Facebook page - I hope you'll love what I've done!

More exciting news to come, but that's all for today - all this excitement is making my head spin! :o)

Just a very quick post from me as I'm rushed off my tiny trotters!

I just wanted to share with you a little sneak peek of one of my CHA projects for Basically Bare :o)

I will be showing this in full on the Basically Bare blog next week - you can see the album I used here on the Basically Bare Blog.

Last Sneak!

Sooooo..... as promised here is the last sneak peek for 'Christmas Cheer!'

This is from the 'Retro' collection on the CD. This is my biggest CD yet and literally only just fitted on!! I hope you will love it as much as I have loved making it. There are some new fun elements to this one so don't forget to tune in and watch the show - and stalk mine and the design teams blog for samples showing as much as we can!

This show will also be featuring some of my other products, as much as we all love CD's because they are so versatile and you get so much for your money, if you're anything like me, you also want to mess around with inks and stamps and other fun stuff!

Today I've been messing around with my lovely Promarkers testing out some new things, a whole day with my Promarkers is BLISS! I'll post some pics in the next few days.

Last night my mum sent me a text saying she's getting two chickens today (not the Asda type purchase, actual live chickens!!) she's calling them 'Pie' and 'Kiev' while I applaud her name giving originality I'm slightly worried about a chicken being *that* close to me on my next visit - eeek!

and on THAT bombshell.......
