Oh so Trendy..............Trees!

Good Afternoon

Gorgeous weather here again in Shropshire - wow, I've really been enjoying it and hope that it lasts some time yet.

This morning in class we used Trendy Trees, which is a gorgeous two-step stamping set.  Unfortunately one of my ladies was not able to attend as she's suffering badly from asthma with today's hot/humid weather, I wish her a speedy recovery.

Glass Jar and Secret Message Card Class

Good Afternoon all

A few pictures today to show the jar and the card that we did this morning in class, the secret message card is very clever - you might miss the secret completely if you dont figure out the card, so simple to make though.  It is really easy even though I was told that, that's what I say every week!  Lol!

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Garden Whimsy.....and fly fishing Craft Class

Good Afternoon everyone

Fabulous craft class this morning, my ladies had to work really hard in their two hours as we did loads of techniques, embossing using the cuttlebug, heat embossing, colouring using gel pens, chalking and using crystal effects.................  They all went away really happy and very impressed with their cards which is always music to my ears!

One card used non su products, if you'd like to see this one please pop over to my Non SU page on my blog, it will be at the bottom and called Fly Fishing (class 12.06.2010).  The other card using Garden Whimsy was inspired by Kaz, my SU "sister".

NON SU projects gallery

Good grey morning!

Rain, rain and a bit more rain.  I guess it's good for the garden.

No SU project to show you today but I've added a couple of cute (in my opinion) cards to my NON SU projects gallery page - take a peak and let me know what you think.

Have a good day

Good Afternoon

Lovely afternoon here in Shropshire,  cloudy but warm which is still gorgeous!

Today we used the Extra-Large Two-Step Bird Punch in class to create two very different cards, one is a triangular tri-fold card and the other is using the bird punch to create a flower............yip, you did hear correctly and I got the idea from a fellow SU demonstrator Fabrizio, such a BRILLIANT way to use this punch.

Swirly..............

Good glorious afternoon everyone.

What a beautifull day we've had so far, let's hope that it continues into the evening since I have a bbq planned for tonight - take advantage while the sun shines I say!

Received a new swirly die today and could not wait to try it out.  It goes so very well with one of my favourite stamp sets that I had to have a play.  I'm entering this card into the Charisma Cardz Challenge!
