I've nearly done it, albeit a month or two late. The latest edition of our newsletter/mini-mag is almost finished. I believe I will be able to finish the final page today, it will then take me a whole day to print this one page, all other pages are printed and ready.
Half the envelopes are stamped and labelled ready for stuffing, the other half should get done within the next few days, although Julie is on holiday this week so if you pop into the shop tomorrow it is only myself and Vicky (and of course my wonderful husband working in the warehouse), so please be patient with us as the phones have been quite busy this week, but we would love to see you.
If you do pop in to see us this week you might catch us working on our new TV shows. We are filming 2 shows on Tuesday but they won't be on your screens for a week or two, I will let you know exact dates when I have them. Wheelie Stamp Addicts & Mica Gloss (the clues are in the titles).
Anyway, back to the newsletter -this issue contains some gorgeous new Snowmen stamps from Printworks (we are waiting on their arrival so I haven't put them on the website yet), some artwork from our last live show with Sticky Stuff and Amazing Glaze (but not together!), classes for the first half of next year, details of our next Retreat and lots more.
So if all goes according to plan you will receive this issue of the newsletter sometime next week, but best laid plans and all that!
As well as filming next week and sending out the newsletter we also have our monthly project club on Wednesday 1-3pm or 7-9pm with Amazing Glaze and our monthly crop Thursday 10am-4pm. If you would like to join us for either of these you can book online or call us.
I think its time I stopped rambling now and go do some work.
JK Pressed Leaves stamped in black and embossed with Psychedelic embossing powder, this is an irridescent powder that changes colour the longer you heat it.
Pressed leaves onto white shrink plastic.
This card also includes the Damask cube. 
JK Instruments cube stamped and embossed onto window plastic.
The Instruments cube embossed in Malachite EP in the centre and the Calligraphic Doodle around the edges.
JK Calligraphic Doodle with some punched flowers.
For this card Vicky stamped the butterfly several times onto JudiKins Laminating sheets and cut them out. When you peel off the backing from the laminate sheet it is sticky so Vicky applied Variegated Red leaf but you could also use glitter. The background is stamped with the JudiKins Bamboo Sprig.
Vicky created this card using the same 2 stamps as previously but this time stamping the butterfly and embossing with Sticky Stuff embossing powder. Once heated the powder becomes a glue, so Vicky brushed on some mica powders.
This card is the same technique as the previous card with the Sticky Stuff but this time instead of Mica powders Vicky used glitter with the JudiKins Damask Cube.
This final card is the same Sticky Stuff technique but this time with Flock and the JudiKins Damask Cube.
This is using the Instruments cube stamped in Brilliance onto black card. For the centre piece I covered the area with Embossing Ink and then Amazing Glaze and heated, repeating twice more for the depth of powder. Into the last layer of Amazing Glaze I stamped making sure I had inked the stamp first - if you don't ink your stamp before applying to the hot surface you can make a big mess, although it shouldn't damage your rubber stamp.
I created this card using the Pressed Leaves cube. Again the centre piece was created with several layers of Amazing Glaze and a layer of Metallic Bronze embossing powder for the final layer before stamping into it.
