Such an exciting day.

I had such an exciting crafting day yesterday. 

 I had been asked to provide some samples, using my Spectrum Noir Pens, for Sara Davies from Crafter's Companion to take to America, for the launch of QVC America's new Craft Corner. 

 My cards were featured on the Spectrum Noir Facebook page and Blog and on both Crafter's Companion UK and USA Facebook and Blog.  I am so delighted.

The show, which I viewed here in the UK on my computer, was at 8pm last night and I really enjoyed it.  There were some stunning samples provided by both the Spectrum Noir and Crafter's Companion Design Teams.  
This is the final card I made for the show featuring the Angelica and Adam Collection from Crafter's Companion.
