YOU'LL READ IT HERE FIRST - I HAVE SOME BIG NEWS!

Image
Hi Peeps, I've popped on here to let you know that my AddINKtive Designs 'Business' is being redirected ... I haven't posted on this blog for a long time because over the last 9 years I have been operating from my own website, addinktivedesigns.com but I've made the HUGE decision to shut down that domain at the end of May (2025) and to start afresh. My INSTA handle has been @bronwyneastleydesigns for a while now to better reflect what I do (I also love to knit clothing accessories and sew mohair bears).  AddINKtive Designs  is also associated with my time at Stampin' Up!®. I very rarely 'add ink' (stamping) to my projects preferring to use pretty papers and embossed die-cuts from Paper Rose Studio and recently joined their Design Team.  My life has taken a different direction and I'm enjoying retirement ...

AddINKtive Designs has a New Home

Hi crafty peeps, AddINKtive Designs has moved to a new home.  I've upgraded to a Wordpress website/blog; it still needs some tweaking but has now gone live!  Make sure you check out the new space and subscribe to addinktivedesigns.com so you don't miss any posts. I'm unsure at this stage whether I will transfer everything over or just keep this blogger site as is.  I'll keep posting here to keep you up to date. To launch my new site, I have written a tutorial for my Botanical Birdcage , a project that I shared in my last post for The Stamp Review Crew .  See you there! Thanks for stopping by,
