<div style="text-align: center;">
This collection is seriously seriously CUUUUUUUUTE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I went with Pink for a Girl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adore that Baby Sentiment die, so so elegant, the paper pad in this collection is so cute. I love the tone of the pink, not to pale and not to Barbie, just right!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Neutral for a Boy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pretty much the same design as above but different colours and the Elephant die instead of the Giraffe, how cute are they?!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gqgcYyBC6jJb_8QdtllQkPTd91gkiuMNC01wwIjuSI9wjB8zC2Pgns6kn2zrn22lbL1SwkSFo0xQCdd1VkXxf7yNjrvAvEl8Q_LYGIvI4Cyx9g-okmtx2ihSpw5NWqa9meWxYujsIkBC/s1600/b10marked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gqgcYyBC6jJb_8QdtllQkPTd91gkiuMNC01wwIjuSI9wjB8zC2Pgns6kn2zrn22lbL1SwkSFo0xQCdd1VkXxf7yNjrvAvEl8Q_LYGIvI4Cyx9g-okmtx2ihSpw5NWqa9meWxYujsIkBC/s640/b10marked.jpg" width="620" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then every colour as you don't know what your having hehehe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew what I wanted to do with these dies when I saw them, I think they are fab and so so cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again that baby sentiment die, my fave I think</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hiya Everyone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh my gosh, I always have such good intentions when I come to blog but months seem to pass before I get a chance! Highlights of a busy life lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So heaps of launches have passed and heaps of fab samples I could have shown you too eeeeek</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I need to make up for that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all doing ok, and life is being kind, I kinda think I have forgotton how to blog hop around, I am going to try very hard to have a go at it tonight and tomorrow, fingers crossed :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So one of my favourite, favourite launches EVER! Happened!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh Yes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Autumn Morning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as this arrived at my house, I was giddy with excitement, every single thing in this collection screams at me! I could not wait to get started with it, and the samples I am seeing with crafter's using it are AMAAAAAAAZING! like seriously gorgeous, so you all love it as much as me :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9eHDjE0glb6WvO0SuPzUWIYODIJWj0J153VnqueUkrjakyOXxPgEr_RIurcOREIqNkDJFmX6oyjxjXshoNVR1zlTzRFdZ4qPR7Gl5Dty7ORZUf5v-E2nWK5Sgj4fgnPzLrxBlWUbhU5tG/s1600/a6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9eHDjE0glb6WvO0SuPzUWIYODIJWj0J153VnqueUkrjakyOXxPgEr_RIurcOREIqNkDJFmX6oyjxjXshoNVR1zlTzRFdZ4qPR7Gl5Dty7ORZUf5v-E2nWK5Sgj4fgnPzLrxBlWUbhU5tG/s640/a6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to try a clean and simple look as I totally knew at some point I'd go super heavy on the leaves and autumn colours!, I cut the die through the white cardstock and layered a piece of the patterned paper behind it, I then added a few touches of glitter, I die cut lots of leaves in white and the patterned paper and shaped them with a ball tool, the sentiment I stamped in the corner, and a few matts and layers, I was really pleased with how clean and simple this one finished up.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjuXIguAVbC8GE9lOEzOzKL3N4mJUO9-uLW7mjqlGrDGbAoSRsYe1g9SQu9YB5IQvaGI61M-bDWj63W52-lcSQjMzMf7HZcs83-eXEjuwyZZaoaqW5g_Qf-0ivTdaHrN0B4JJDJXNUmLym/s1600/a2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjuXIguAVbC8GE9lOEzOzKL3N4mJUO9-uLW7mjqlGrDGbAoSRsYe1g9SQu9YB5IQvaGI61M-bDWj63W52-lcSQjMzMf7HZcs83-eXEjuwyZZaoaqW5g_Qf-0ivTdaHrN0B4JJDJXNUmLym/s640/a2.jpg" width="550" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I saw this embossing folder I KNEW, I JUST KNEW, I had to do something for the kiddies with it, Just plain black card and a white inkpad, a few cut leaves shaped with an embossing tool, and super fun googly eyes :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYpdqcSdAS0qpqin7nKNi4nksBBMjAfAtY-ZExHj2c5sqWvz1lrqwn9aBrrarGcU6gMUCJuwlmsvuF96R0_0JG7geHZkEYWDpPz-0MyomOWTCqLQEB_-wgWaxS1Koe56tqB-N8wYoTHf1P/s1600/a8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYpdqcSdAS0qpqin7nKNi4nksBBMjAfAtY-ZExHj2c5sqWvz1lrqwn9aBrrarGcU6gMUCJuwlmsvuF96R0_0JG7geHZkEYWDpPz-0MyomOWTCqLQEB_-wgWaxS1Koe56tqB-N8wYoTHf1P/s640/a8.jpg" width="578" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I went LEAF MAD, I mean seriously you could get lost in making leaves, there is something extremely theraputic about making them and then inking them up. This sentiment is my favourite from the entire collection, such a lovely one. The picket fence I have to admit has now become one of my GO to dies, I adore it. I have a 2 little pots on my desk of what I would call my essential dies, the ones I use over and over and over again, the picket fence has ended up there lol, it doesn't have time for a home with the rest of my dies!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this one I was trying to go with clean and simple again and I did the same as I did with the first card, although I matted behind with red mirri card, it screams Canada at me now, everytime I look at it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>I</u> have 2 projects to share today :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using the gorgeous Colourista colouring pads, honestly these blew me away, the Glitter and the Foil what an amazing invention for colouring!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first is a hanging plaque, I brought in a cheap shop and decorated it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakBnZ_e00IYDgAXrL09r8yMK2x1vio3wAohmg9C9Dat-67sdPgO1I84-AMAhbqEJBXPD3Ohsxw8-lKCZqBUYSYgvss1bbkxrweFeX-ocsGNXH0maHpQBhIEKhBya18CRMECf4mGwVEZip/s1600/colourista1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiakBnZ_e00IYDgAXrL09r8yMK2x1vio3wAohmg9C9Dat-67sdPgO1I84-AMAhbqEJBXPD3Ohsxw8-lKCZqBUYSYgvss1bbkxrweFeX-ocsGNXH0maHpQBhIEKhBya18CRMECf4mGwVEZip/s640/colourista1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured elements from the A4 Colourista Glitter pad and the 5 x 7 Colourista glitter pad, cut them out and shaped the flowers, I used the Colourista colours to colour with and the shine you see in the photo has had no enhancement, it is the pure glitter! The pens blend magically over it! and the bestest bit is the glitter stays put! you are not covered in it from colouring! The more I colour over Glitter the more I become addicted to it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second project I have to share today is the fab Foil pad :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh me oh my</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The resist from the foil on this I love, its almost like you try to make the foil disappear but it is not having it and shines through, I adore this pad, and wanted to do something a little different than traditonal colouring, so I got out my sparkle pens and washed over the sheet with water then dripped ink directly from the pens onto the sheet, love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipQSqR1dN4LVvbhn9WA2qdzx7saF-5ZPD1d6zGau5FKncVWUQYRgQJ_slnGABvBCp6vit96lJrBS3x3b98JfLbnKJlYYTw7uZUotrnqXjndQcNlDRGKdNIhmpoifTbj6rTdv5mH2S7swI_/s1600/colourista3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipQSqR1dN4LVvbhn9WA2qdzx7saF-5ZPD1d6zGau5FKncVWUQYRgQJ_slnGABvBCp6vit96lJrBS3x3b98JfLbnKJlYYTw7uZUotrnqXjndQcNlDRGKdNIhmpoifTbj6rTdv5mH2S7swI_/s640/colourista3.jpg" width="532" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love the effect! I think I will be doing a few more like this, one of my fave things to do with sparkle pens lol</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a card to share for one of the challenges a while ago on the Simply Betty Facebook page, I absolutely adore Simply Betty images :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have however lost my colour list so cannot share that with you right now - sorry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will find heaps of gorgeousness in the <a href="http://simplybstamps.net/" target="_blank">Simply Betty store</a></div>

I coloured her with Spectrum noir markers and mounted her onto my card base using 3d glue gel. The papers and deep purple centura pearl I cut using a spiral punch from Stampin' Up. The "A" was cut using the contempoary letters from Die'sire and the sentiment from the Verity Rose range :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How loverly it is to see thee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really need to get myself into full Christmas mode! I have been making Christmassy items for MONTHS, but nothing for myself argh! I even have my Christmassy playlist on my Ipod and have been rocking around my Christmas tree in my chair :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really loved this card I made, its quick, simple and easy and I have made a little tutorial for you on the <a href="http://www.spectrumnoir.com/" target="_blank">Spectrum Noir website </a>on how to create it - Coming Soon :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I may well end up doing a few more like this over the coming months :)</div>

I create the tree branches using aquablend pencils and sparkle pens, the lights I used the baubles from Sara's Luxury Christmas range - Avaliable in the Crafter's Companion store, and I added a little white gel pen to them, matted and layered with card and it makes a real quick card :)</div>

I have been working heaps this holidays so haven't done as much as I would have liked to with the kiddies, hopefully I'll make it up to them in the run up to Christmas :) but work is work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next year I plan to book a little holiday somewhere, here in the UK though, Niall wouldn't adapt well to going abroad - its a long time away yet lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a clean and simple card to share with you using some of the gorgeous dies avaliable over at <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion</a>. I do love it when I can construct a card solely from dies and the lemon colour on this worked really well.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The embossing folder is from the Darice range - you can find these in the Crafter's Companion store and I decided to keep it very clean, the oval is from the Downton Abbey range, and the flower is one of the quilling flowers from Die'sire, I used a little yellow distress ink, the spirals are the stamen die which you use in the centre of your quilled flowers, the sentiment is from one of the stamp packs avaliable in the store.</div>

Hiya Everyone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Sunday to you :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for stopping by on the recent Colourista Blog Hop I really appreciate your time and comments - you will ADORE the Colourista range</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thought I'd pop in with a little make I made using the Butterfly Mixed Media Dies from Crafter's Companion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a Bauble I found in a store</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghX8cMKoInvplMYQuFcrauj7WryFWRagPLANqSinqRBQMa-YMD_HaloJ1QggDZXPhacoMJ-oKJG_L9h-2JyI7BcUMmA4aGzOExkLCD05z1zqSg5yNfgXggFPw7WA0CeRYMb4CyXs_rJiBr/s1600/16+June+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghX8cMKoInvplMYQuFcrauj7WryFWRagPLANqSinqRBQMa-YMD_HaloJ1QggDZXPhacoMJ-oKJG_L9h-2JyI7BcUMmA4aGzOExkLCD05z1zqSg5yNfgXggFPw7WA0CeRYMb4CyXs_rJiBr/s640/16+June+%25281%2529.jpg" width="625" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a box from Centura pearl and lined it with some of the A3 printed centura pearl cardstock and a little tissue paper. The bauble is one you can find in stores, I opened it up and added some of the butterflys hanging and some more tissue paper. I think its really sweet to give as a little Christmas gift for teachers or first Christmas bauble :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will find heaps of Mixed media dies over in the <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion Store</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for popping by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a lovely Sunday</div>

This is one of my makes, I used one of the gorgeous A4 black and white pads and a set of the fantastic Colourista pencils - YES PENCILS!!! how vibrant are these colours! I cut the page down so I could work with this shape and doodled with a white gel pen, and added a little touch of sparkle with the spectrum noir clear sparkle pen, These pencils are just gorgeousness!</div>

Happy Tuesday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is my late Grandads Birthday, Happy Birthday Grandad, I hope you are having a party up there on your cloud x x x</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion</a> launched the most STUNNING Hybrid dies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and when I say stunning, I mean stunning, the team did amazing samples and they make for such gorgeous cards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is one I made using Flower Bed and Fancy Shutter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you will find them over in the <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/papercraft-c2141/die-cutting-c349/diesire-c1994/diesire-create-a-card-c6186/create-a-card-decorative-collection-c7686" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion </a>Shop</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the dies from centura pearl and layered them onto some platinum centura pearl card, I then rounded the corners with a corner punch. I used a glue pen to outline the dies and sprinkled glitter over them, it did look super pretty in real life. I made the flowers from the rolled flower die from Sara's English country garden range. The oval is from the Downton Abbey Range.</div>

I coloured him up with Spectrum noir markers and mounted him to my card using 3d glue gel. The embossing folder is from the Textures range from Crafter's Companion as are the dies - the ivy is one of my most used, as is the Kimono blossom branch, I also used Sheena's jungle leaves folder and covered it all in distress inks, for all things <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion</a> check out the shop</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Today I also have a card to share using a Sad image - it kinda sums up how many of us have been feeling this week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This card was for my little Ella's teacher - who was leaving - but after she was given the card she said to me you do realise I am not leaving - how 6 year olds interpret conversations!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still she loved it and I love this image from <a href="http://simplybstamps.net/" target="_blank">Simply B stamps</a></div>

I coloured her with spectrum noirs - although I don't have the colour list. The letters are from 1 inch die'sire dies and the bow card is from the lovely sandra, I adore it. I also used dies from the Downton Abbey collection.</div>

This was so much fun to make, I used centura pearl then made a cake slice from it - I actually made a whole cake - but it was absolutely HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE so I opted for the 1 slice instead! Love that you can actually pop something inside if you want too. For my base I used an upside down paper plate, I covered it in doilies (these ones are from Sara's love range) I then used some coloured centura pearl and some dies from the verity rose collection to decorate.</div>

I wanted to keep this very clean and simple - I used contrasting kraft card and black card with some of Sheenas whte card embossed with the textures elements rain folder (fast becoming one of my go to's that is)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured her up with aquablends - if you have not tried these I really really rate them, they are so easy to work with and the colours are just delish - you can find out which colours I used over on the <a href="http://www.spectrumnoir.com/african-american-skin-with-aquablend-pencils/" target="_blank">Spectrum Noir Blog</a></div>

Oh my gosh I need to get my Christmas head back on, we have the weather for it! - presents to organise and buy, lists lists and lists to be made - cards to be created - wow de wow - it'll be here before we blink! lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today sadly though lol, I don't have a Christmas make to share</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead I have a rather srummy Downton Abbey Tea break make to share :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tea break as in go grab a cuppa and a biccy you know you want to :)</div>

This card was not orginally supposed to be this card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See I was happily constructing up the Jammie Dodger part of this card (to eagle eyed readers thats the Downton Abbey circle filigree die) and it struck me that it reminded me of a jammie dodger, so my original card idea got chucked out the window for biscuit and tea! well why not. I made a rocker card as my tea cup and used the oval filigree die to place my letters on, I cut the little teabag to shape and embossed it with one of the downton abbey folders. I also used distress inks and some of the Downton Abbey paper pad - you will find all things Downton in the <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion shop</a> :)</div>

YEP!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know, who knew you could create backgrounds using your spectrum noir refills!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well not me lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was until I saw a fab tutorial over on the <a href="http://www.spectrumnoir.com/" target="_blank">Spectrum Noir blog</a> from one of my lovely teamies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
http://www.spectrumnoir.com/grid-background/</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So easy and so clever, I actually had so much fun doing this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie5grnkvs_FN2b9Skp6CpX6_h0ktFj-Xua9HdLv3JDfGvI_b1qWXoimw43_cRNkO517kZce9BDYgt4W9HZouSMm86P2Vam-wttZf7qJyLQcMl7MbWiLI26SYvUnk1fu2jxHGbj1NGR0_yG/s1600/29+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie5grnkvs_FN2b9Skp6CpX6_h0ktFj-Xua9HdLv3JDfGvI_b1qWXoimw43_cRNkO517kZce9BDYgt4W9HZouSMm86P2Vam-wttZf7qJyLQcMl7MbWiLI26SYvUnk1fu2jxHGbj1NGR0_yG/s640/29+%25283%2529.jpg" width="624" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I placed a piece of sheena's white stampin card down, and picked up some refills, I then squirted colour onto my cardstock, and then once I'd had my fill with that, I squirted the colourless blender in places, which spreads the ink and kind of bleaches it too - total amazeballs - watching it looks like cauliflowers blooming or something nice like that! I then cut them down to squares to fit my card design, see super technical NOT! </div>

Say what?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep really Downton Filigree dies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are incredible! I mean really!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are a die fan of any kind you'll need these! I honestly have not stopped using them as card bases, as matts and layers as aperatures - they are so much fun and so stylish!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a card I made for the launch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the largest circle filigree die to cut an aperature through my kraft card base, then I built the inside up using the filigree part and a quilling flower, lots of distress ink and some pretty papers from the Downton Abbey 12 x 12 paper pad, I finished it with a topper from the Downton Abbey kits - you will find all things Downton in the <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion Website</a> :)</div>
