First Workshop

Well! Had my first proper workshop yesterday and it was brilliant fun! Lovely hostess Loo managed to get her free gift and free spends too! which was bloomin' maaarvelous!

here's a pic of the sample .....and my beloved's.....I made him "road test" the make and take....bless him!....he enjoyed doing it though!............
and this is what some of the ladies made!..........I like theirs better than mine!

We used polka dot embossing for the background, and "flight of the butterfly"
We also made a Pouch, using the paper packing material that Stampin'Up! puts in their parcels, as I am HUGELY into recycling! (I have so much of the brown paper, that I must find more ways of using it!)
I also made a little basket as a gift for my hostess......full of choccies of course!.........so feel free to contact me if you'd like to hold a fun workshop too! TFL!

wedded bliss

sneaky peek of my first commissioned wedding card.........can't show it all as it will spoil their surprise!

Welcome!

We would like to welcome a new member to the Family! He's a 12 year old ginger tom called Jerry, and he's settled in really well. We managed to keep him in for a week, but then had to let him explore his new home. He's already seen off one of next door's cats, so has firmly taken control of his patch. Intruders beware!

Time Flies!

Can't believe it's been so long since my last post!
Dad's still poorly, so had him and Mum to stay quite a bit, and done the "Hospital Taxi".........got a new Feline resident.......more on that another day.....

hope you like this card I made my beloved's brother.....stamp was from my "old" stash, but using Stampin' Up! papers made it really easy to co-ordinate the colours! TFL

For You

Loving the Big Shot again! Polka Dot background, Top Note, one of the fab "Four Frames", and one of the gorgeous hostess stamps that was kindly lent by one of my customers coz I love it so much.........TFL!

This is a card I made for a very dear friend......using "fun and fast notes", which I wasn't sure I'd use much!, BUT it's soooo useful for soooo many occasions.....the flowers on the left are from itty bitty bits, punched and layered, and on the right, the scallop trim border punch is being used a lot too!...the stripy layer is the "top note" using my wonderful Bigshot!..............TFL (thanks for looking!)

My Little Mouse

I thought you might like to see my latest Bobbin Lace project .....I think the technique is "Idria"?...no doubt Louise will correct me?!.....and maybe we can name the book we found the pattern in?!.....We did this project together in class, which I so enjoyed.....normally we are each doing our own individual things, ....but it was nice to learn together on this one.......just need to find him some cheese...although I believe they prefer chocolate!...clever Mouse!
