Special Season

Good Afternoon Blog world

Wow, it's certainly been some time since I've worked on my blog.  Just been a very busy few months and does certainly feel like forever.

I thought that I'd show you a lovely little Christmas set, just perfect for all those cards that we are all busy, busy creating.

Craft Workshop

Good Evening

Pretty excited this evening, I've just returned from doing another Hels Sheridan workshop at Crafty Bunch, my local craft shop where I go for all stash non SU.  It was a totally "Me" day doing what I love......crafting of course.  We made a canvas using LOTS of different products and techniques which was great fun and kept me totally absorbed and inspired all day.

Birthday's, Thank You's and a little bit of Chris...........

Hello All

Hope you're all well and have had a restfull weekend.

In our class just passed we did 3 cards, yes 3 cards and the reason for this was that it was time for me to sneak a little Christmas card in there to remind everyone that it's about time that they started thinking about their Christmas card making.

Stamp set's used: Creative Elements, Clock Works, Four You and other from my stash

Where does the time go?

Hello All

Hope you're all well.  Not quite sure where my time is going at the moment but I've just realised that I never posted my last class creations.

We did a box full of mini cards, either used as a gift, which is what some of the ladies were going to do, or to keep the cards in to use yourself.  Either way, a lovely project.

I think my class were a little apprehensive when I told them that I'd put loads of stamp set's on the table and that my project was just there as a guide.  They were to "go crazy" and do their own thing!  I could see the panic set in but as they are now all more than capable crafters I was confident and we had some amazing results!  I was very pleased.

Below is my sample, could have been a better picture but at least it shows what we got up to.

Stamp set's used: Tape it, Best of Flowers, Papillion Potpouri, Serene Sillhouettes, Four You and circle circus (retired)

Creative Elements

Good Afternoon All

Hope you're all well.  I have been enjoying the wonderful warm weather that the UK has had over the last couple of weeks and long may it continue in my opinion.  All that it means is less time in my craft room and more time in my garden - never a bad thing:-)

This last week we used the lovely creative elements stamp set once again and teamed it up with the new  silicone moulds and clay and it worked a treat! We also used some of the new washi tape that Stampin' Up! has brought out.  Really enjoying using all these lovely new goodies.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Stamp set used: Creative Elements
Washi Tape: Epic Day This and That

Clay: Simply pressed clay
Punches used: Decorative Label & Fancy Flower

Sneak Peek

Good Morning All

Hope that you're all well.

Here we go, a bit of a sneak peek for you all.  I've been working on canvas again but within this project is a little something from the new Stampin' Up! catalogue.  Can you guess what it is?
