Monthly Class - 28 July 2012

I thought I would give you some sneak peaks for the weekend. The colours we are using are Marina Mist, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Pink Pirouette so bring those pads along if you have them. See you Saturday.

Not sure on the quality of these photos as using my IPad but it sure makes my life easier!!!

Sneak Peak and News...

Organised, a word that does not describe me particularly well at the moment!!  I do try but there are just never enough hours in the day and I am forever chasing ones tail, hence why my blogging is so poor, I always apologise for this and I really do mean it because it is something I would like to use more to share some of my crafting moments!  So once again I will try!!

Easter came and went.  I was so looking forward to four days off work with some crafting built in for good measure but best made plans, I managed to fall over on Good Friday (no I was not drunk!) and sprained my ankle quite bad.  Frozen peas later my ankle resembled a tennis ball and it is only now getting back to normal albeit a bit black and blue.  I am telling you this because as it turned out, as I could not do a lot else, I got a bit more crafting in than I anticipated!!

Now for some news, 1st May sees a brand new Summer Mini Catalogue with some gorgeous goodies in it, I have managed to get my hands on a few new bits and boy you are gonna love them but you are just gonna have to wait!!!  Tehehehehe aren't I cruel!  Suffice to say I NEED the whole catalogue but a little at a time I guess.

Now for a sneak peak for Saturday, think you are gonna like it....

Plans are coming along nicely for the 6 May, I am so looking forward to that day and may even post a few sneak peaks to wet your appetite, watch this space!

Anyhow, have a good week.

Anyway whilst going through came across some pictures of the tins recently made so thought I would post a piccie for you.

I had a really lovely day and it got those creative juices flowing again so let's see what I can come up with!

November Class and Sneak Peaks Bags & Boxes!!!

OMG where has the last month gone to, I cannot believe I have been in my new job for a whole month, in lots of respects it feels like I have been there years, not sure if that is a good thing or not, lol!!!!  I have to say it was the best thing I ever did and am thoroughly enjoying the new challenge.  Thank you all for bearing with me whilst I settle in and now business as usual, below you will find some piccies from the November class, enjoy!

And just to tease you, those coming to the Bag and Boxes Class (ohhh I love this class!) here are a few sneak peaks!

See you soon.

October Monthly Class..

Hi ladies

Just thought I would post up the pictures of the goodies the ladies made on Saturday....

We started with the basket

Sorry picture not very good, think I played around with it a bit too much!!!!  This was made using the Top Note Die, Scallop Border Punch and the retired A Rose is a Rose stamp set.

We then did these three cards, starting with the Bouquet of Buds

Followed by the embossing folder colouring technique

And finally, we made a pansy using the Butterfly Punch.

Another great but busy day was had and I sent the ladies away with another little project for them to complete at home, more of that later, I just need to take a photo of it!!!

See you all soon,

Jo
