I thought it would be easy to get back into the saddle...but crunch time comes and I am still a little wobbly!<div><div><br />
</div><div>I have had an interesting few years...</div><div><br />
</div><div>If you have been following the journey of<a href="http://www.docrafts.biz/" target="_blank"> docrafts </a>- new brands, new products, new techniques, new direction...then you pretty much have an inkling of how my working days have been spent!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am incredibly proud of the <b>AWESOME</b> product that my team has delivered. When I first stepped into my role at docrafts, I had my work cut out for me. It was a company with a lot of heart and soul, but very little product expertise or direction. Our most recent launch of <a href="http://www.lvcc.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Little Venice Cake Company</a> cake decorating equipment in September really was the icing on the cake. You could call it a personal labour of love (and indulgence..) </div><div><br />
</div><div>I have some pretty exciting developments in the pipeline for our Xcut brand... and 2012 is already shaping up to be another exciting year for my team.</div><div><br />
</div><div>BUT - it has not all be fun <i>(you may think I am a good time girl... but there is a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears ;) </i> My dad was diagnosed with <b>Acute Myloid Leukemia</b> just before the summer. It floored me. This invincible hero of mine suddenly aged over night, and I had to face the reality that he could die. </div><div><br />

It instantly became our trademark stance for photos, and we have introduced all of our family and friends to it. We like to think it is worthy of a charitable cause... KAPOW CANCER! (It has a ring?!) </div><div><br />
</div><div>Anywho - I am signing off with our team KAPOW in Shanghai. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Back soon!</div><div>Becks x</div><div><br />

Another fatality of the credit crunch... and the vast choice for crafters buying paper!! I love their vintage style... although their last few collections I have been able to live without - but it is still a shame to see these kinds of brands fall under the wheels.<br /><br />I am sure there is happy news out there! LIKE it being the UK's trade show *Stitches* this weekend. Scaled down from previous years, with some exhibitors electing not to take a booth... still worth a gander if you are a retailer.<br /><br />Have a good weekend xxxBeckshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14967010496756759792noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35501672.post-32701332995727259482009-02-04T18:32:00.003+00:002009-02-05T09:33:30.557+00:00Wish Wednesday Winner...I have not been able to get a meaty shot of the complete wish wednesday CHA goody bag <em>(due to the contents being *between locations*)</em>... but it will be sent out next week... and the one lucky blog follower to be showered with some lush new stash is...<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">MAX</span></strong>, <span style="color:#009900;">from Scotland.</span></span>Beckshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14967010496756759792noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35501672.post-46618128015925178882009-02-04T14:37:00.007+00:002009-02-06T11:40:18.072+00:00Paperworld, Franfurt 2009<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2OU9wu8gCsQwBj636rDHsTx1PHkNMFTCDcTiQxNld90ABMsoPIfw-BdgJGFffSawmwAyFinyDNjebVDSFP8CWrScIShh99a1vOWroRy6hkJ7lZZnY2ZlKas_jVbWb-1p0p7Kz/s1600-h/DSC01998.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299642457992241170" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2OU9wu8gCsQwBj636rDHsTx1PHkNMFTCDcTiQxNld90ABMsoPIfw-BdgJGFffSawmwAyFinyDNjebVDSFP8CWrScIShh99a1vOWroRy6hkJ7lZZnY2ZlKas_jVbWb-1p0p7Kz/s320/DSC01998.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja53tfR1FSPxTraVULwg0SZGayOSVgwxVy_CQEMEsXQdpZvPQzETtpnrRPo_PbxHQG5Qbv3Je-fnrI2WNrAjmmzN8M1hyphenhyphenxqooPpNdetY7X2q1KdcX-uCLhH69SLiJ8YpmE8hPv/s1600-h/DSC01991.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299641608559000290" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja53tfR1FSPxTraVULwg0SZGayOSVgwxVy_CQEMEsXQdpZvPQzETtpnrRPo_PbxHQG5Qbv3Je-fnrI2WNrAjmmzN8M1hyphenhyphenxqooPpNdetY7X2q1KdcX-uCLhH69SLiJ8YpmE8hPv/s320/DSC01991.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIKtpGRDwrQ_meSeiSymN1L7u-iThipt5w0q-17z0ArlDl5mTNBrwo9CRYtSKQ83VL99pel-cXIgYkFGukn4GO4mh2yx8XbrXIvRjFuvK2vPEse16SkE7iKpRJ7coKV-WwNHM/s1600-h/DSC00279.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299641955011517090" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIKtpGRDwrQ_meSeiSymN1L7u-iThipt5w0q-17z0ArlDl5mTNBrwo9CRYtSKQ83VL99pel-cXIgYkFGukn4GO4mh2yx8XbrXIvRjFuvK2vPEse16SkE7iKpRJ7coKV-WwNHM/s320/DSC00279.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3b0WsJpH3Jwy4URIHwdVzZE73GAA2USw_I9LqkqE6KEtj9rLccFETZkYlm-KJVtPvy7Hn3BfSxsylRp2qvtICWD9QwGJKLsVJC9rW0kbhiwTPOkrUfYSkMK850-YVxSOjdTWw/s1600-h/DSC00284.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299640336525494690" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3b0WsJpH3Jwy4URIHwdVzZE73GAA2USw_I9LqkqE6KEtj9rLccFETZkYlm-KJVtPvy7Hn3BfSxsylRp2qvtICWD9QwGJKLsVJC9rW0kbhiwTPOkrUfYSkMK850-YVxSOjdTWw/s320/DSC00284.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Spotted:</strong> Trends that seem to dominate state-side are a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pish</span> in the ocean when it comes to the mother of all <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">papercraft</span> trade events... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Paperworld</span>.

Well the scrapbook world is now awash with home decor vinyl applique. Originally Lisa & Becky (<em><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Advantus</span></em>) tried to get us to decorate our walls with hanging things and stickers... then the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Cricut</span> (<em><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Provocraft</span></em>) and the Silhouette (<em><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">QuicKutz</span></em>) sold vinyl sheets that you could die cut then use to decorate frames, albums, walls <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">et</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">al</span>... and there was at the same time WALLIES (which is a blackboard type vinyl which encourages your kids to "feel free" *which on a sad note my 3 year old daughter DID in my absence on my brand new carpet... joy!!)<br /><br />Anyways, we now have virtually all the big boys selling finished die-cut phrases and icons to be used to decorate those all-so-bare walls we Brits have a plenty. They LOOK oh so good in the brochure, but not so sure if they will translate onto our teeny walls in our teeny houses...<br /></li><li><strong><span style="color:#3366ff;">SPARKLE</span></strong><br /><br />If you thought that rhinestones were the epitome of all things glam, then think again. The trend for glitter speciality finishes on patterned paper has flooded scrapbook manufacturers. It is pretty pricey compared to adding your own glitter at home to a sheet of 50p paper - but the effects are less *homemade* and definitely more <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">bam</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">bling</span>. You won't be able to escape this trend, or the cash it will take out of your pocket to feed the habit!<br /></li><li><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">COST CUTTING<br /></span></strong><br />Saving the planet was firm on the agenda, but only after saving the pounds in your pocket first. Thus the advent of 99p-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">esk</span> stamps popping up all over the show (<em>We R Memory Keepers</em> have some cute ones to match that Tiffany line... which is a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">wowzer</span> one <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">irl</span>!) BUT pack sizes are also reducing, so retailers can buy more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">breadth</span>, and less depth. With <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">GCD</span> Studios also getting really cost <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">sensitive</span> when it comes to their deliciously designer papers and accessories. The credit crunch is hitting... big time!</li></ul><p><em>I did nip into the <strong><a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/">TWO PEAS IN A BUCKET</a></strong> cupcake party (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Kirsty</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Shimelle</span>, Marion and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Bev</span> were there also from the UK) and we had a hoot with tsome american lasses on our table. Whilst they were 2 pea buffs, Holly & I were struggling to answer the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">simplest</span> of quiz questions... although <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">weirdly</span> on my turn I ended up winning a new <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">fiskars</span> trimmer due to my acute knowledge of album manufacturers (aka guess work!?!)</em> </p><p>My <strong>ill gotten gain</strong> will be added to the <strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">WISH WEDNESDAY STASH PILE...</span></strong> which is mounting up nicely!

The <strong>"rhinestone revival":</strong></div><div>{Everyone} is doing it... from combo rub-ons with bling<em> (a la Imaginisce, BasicGrey, Kaiser Craft etc)</em> to just plain studded shiny (and <strong>pearl</strong>) stuff <em>(again, a la BasicGrey, Kaiser Craft, K&Co, Doodlebug, Imaginisce et al...)</em> It seems no collection is complete without the bling factor! You will be inundated, so hold onto your wallets...</div><br /><div>Other trends spotted include:</div><br /><div>2. <strong>JEWELLERY:</strong><br /></div><div>EKSuccess have ploughed into this category with the launch of their Jolee's line of findings and jewellery making components. It is a beautifully packaging and presented range which is already spotted in Michael's stores (alongside their adorably chic Martha Stewart line.) There is so many vendors now coming to the fore, with a jewellery offering, that this category is just hotting up. From cheap plastic bits to full scale quality semi-precious... you are going to be spoilt for choice (and hard pushed to not at least try it just *once* ;) The feel of jewellery is definitely younger, and definitely more DIY accessory <em>(think how the recession will entice those thrifty crafters to make their own... rather than pay top/mod dollar for the same effect!!)</em><br /><br /></div><div>3. <strong>MINI-ME</strong> <strong>CLEAR STAMPS:</strong><br /></div><div>Clear Stamps is not new news <em>(this grew big time in 2008)</em> - but the trend is now to mini stamp sets and smaller price points. Everyone<em> (maybe bar Fancy Pants)</em> is going teeny... and trying to pick at the pocket money purchase - those impulse buys, the ones that fly under the radar of spouse approval ;)</div><br /><div>4. <strong>FAST:</strong><br /></div><div>Autumn Leaves are not the only company to come up with 2 minute scrapbooking... but they are the first to really package it well with a time guarantee as part of the product title. You can select how much time you want to spend; and then be productive to deadline. HOTP championed this cause for much of 2007-2008, but Autumn Leaves has stamped the *cool factor* all over it!</div><br /><div>5. <strong>ECO-FRIENDLY:</strong><br /></div><div>Forced upon the industry, or volunteered... we now have a green agenda and we are seeing some inventive interpretations. My fav is K&Co (as their packaging is fabulous) and they still feel oh so sophisticated along with that environmentally feel-good factor.</div><div> </div><div>6. <strong>FLOURISH:</strong></div><div>Swirls, scrolls and flourishes are flouncing their way into every designer range - whether wood, stamps, paper, emboss templates... you name it, there is a curly wurly swirly option.
