I am sure a lot of you have seen the announcement on Facebook regarding my ambassador role with creative expressions. for those of you who haven't I thought I'd share the announcement with you all (below). After nearly 3 years I am looking forward too new challenges in the Craft world and I wanted to reassure my wonderful Blog family that I will be continuing with the blog and will be starting some new features over the coming weeks.
This also means that whilst I will still be using Creative Expressions products I will now also feature products from other companies and other crafts. I really hope that you all stay with me on my continuing crafting journey!Todays card feature my Michaelmas Dasiy A6 stamp along with the horticultural text background all stamped and coloured with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders.
Creative Expressions and John Lockwood have mutually agreed to bring to a close the ambassador role that John was fulfilling for the company. This decision will allow John to explore other creative avenues in the craft world. We would like to thank John for his fantastic contribution and wish him every success in the future.
I would personally like to Wish the Team and company every success in the future x
Just to reassure anyone I will continue with all the Independent workshops and demo days that I have booked and will also be looking at running more of the weekday and weekend retreats.
The journey continues ...

Morning John, lovely card today. I, like everyone else, was surprised at the news yesterday, you saw my messages. You will certainly not get rid of me on the blog that easily, yes I love CE products as you know but I also like lots of others. I am looking forward to seeing what is coming to us from such a talented man as yourself, hope also to see you on Hochanda very, very soon.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Well done you John in the crafting world in which we work there is nothing worse than being tied to one company's products , it's great to be able to use everything and not be suppressed, and let your crafting go forward.
ReplyDeleteGood luck x
Well done in doing such a great job for CE they should appreciate the hard work and enthusiasm you have shown. Look forward to seeing more of you on Hochanda and all the best for the future John - will be following your blog with interest.
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling Anne from Calne x
Good luck with the future John. It will be great seeing to using other products and give us even more ideas. Hopefully one of your future demos will be in Cupar Fife.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your decision can't have been easy. I wish you every success in your new venture. Do hope to see you on Hochanda regularly and of course workshops.
ReplyDeletePretty card today.

Great to hear that you're going to be organising more workshops etc John. Look forward to seeing what new things you're going to be bringing to the blog! Lovely card today and such pretty colours from the Pixie powders. xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning John. I was so surprised to read your news but delighted to see that you will still be keeping your blog going. I look forward to seeing many more fabulous creations from you & wish you every success in the future. Xx
ReplyDeleteEh up John
ReplyDeleteFantastic samples. The aqua frames the left hand one beautifully.
When I started following your blog 4 years ago, seeing that Bird Song First Edition paper (I blame you for my on going addiction to First Edition lol!) I did so as I admired your talent and work and still do. Over the past 4 years you have got me stamping, colouring and getting my fingers messy with pastes and polishes I would have given a wide berth to. More importantly, I've gained a very good friend so I shall continue on the Lockwood Craft Tours bus, excited as to where this new journey leads.
All aboard!!!

John, your card is stunning as always. Your news yesterday came as a huge surprise and a bit of a shock- I have followed this blog for a little while now and never commented but I wanted to wish you all the very best for the future. I'm so glad you will continue with your blog and would love to think we might see you on Hochanda as I love your demos, you are so instructive. I might be a new-ish crafter, but I have learned so much from you- you have got me daring to try stamping, pixie powdering and started an addiction to gilding polish! Looking forward to seeing many different things on your blog.

First of all i would like to appologise for the laye comment.
ReplyDeleteSecondly i would like to wish you the very best of luck
in your new venture and i am sure like many of your followers we certainly will carry on following this wonderful block.
I love seeing your cards and creations no matter who's products you are using.
It is your creativeness that i follow and will certainly be hanging around.Besides who else is going to answer my silly questions about stamping lol.
Now for today's card, it is stunning and i really love it but the circle on the lower left doesn't do anything for me.
I love the stamping and the colours.
hello John, when one door closes and new and better door opens,open your wings and fly x
ReplyDeleteThe very best of luck in your new endeavour. Your demos are "the best".
ReplyDeleteNo one will stop me from wishing you luck on your own blog John, not this time. Just be happy that's all that matters these days xxx
