Sadly, due to a fire, they have had to temporarily close their bricks and mortar shop for at least the next couple of days whilst repairs are made to the building. Luckily, no one was hurt.
Mail order and internet orders are still being processed as normal but they are experiencing a short delay on processing of orders. Please bear with them, they are working really hard to minimise the disruption to all of their customers.

Here is this weeks sketch for you...

This delightful card has been made by Lisa Hjulberg, who has been a fabulous Guest Designer throughout July, we would like to thank her immensely for her stunning cards this past month, thank you Lisa! xx

We say bye bye to Ria

Sad news for sketch saturday :(
Ria has decided to leave our design team, I know it was a difficult decision for her to make and she will be greatly missed from the team.
Ria joined the design team from the beginning, so she has been inspiring you with her beautiful cards using our sketches for 2 years now,
I'm pleased to say that she isn't giving up crafting altogether, so you will still be able to see her fab work on her blog.
Ria, Thank you so much for all you've done for SS these past 2 years.
We'll miss you, and wish you all the very best.

Love, The girls xx
