Christmas in July

Hello everyone,

Today was my craft class and I've just had the most fabulous session for a long time.  As well as my usual ladies I had two new ladies join us and it was lovely to meet them.  Neither had made cards before so didn't quite know what to expect but both throughly enjoyed what we did, so much so they have booked in on the next one in August :)

Anyway, as the title suggests this months theme was Christmas and we were using the Welcome Christmas set.  We made a gorgeous bag and 6 cards.  The instructions for the bag were actually from another SU demo, Angie, and I would like to thank her for allowing me to use them in my class. Pop over to her blog and see some of the gorgeous creations she makes.

A lot of products and tools were used in the making of this set. The colour theme was Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Whisper White. You can't see it in the picture but the trees and ground had Dazzling Diamond glitter on them and there was some on the fathers chrismas hat and bobble.   Needless to say everyone went home covered in glitter.....lol

Thank you again for a lovely morning ladies

Lovely day

Hi  All,

We've just got back from a drive to the coast to see hubbys sister and it was a lovely day out.   We set off at 7.45 and got there about 9.35 so didn't do too bad time wise.  It was great to see her as its been a long time, you know how it is a week becomes a month etc and before you know it a year has gone by.  Then we went into town and had the obligatory fish and chips..yumyum.  It was so windy on the sea front that its a good job none of us were wearing wigs...haha.

Anyway, remember at my class yesterday I said I joined in but made the set in a different colour, well here it is....

For this set the colour combo that I used was Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz, River Rock and Very Vanilla along with the Springtime Vintage papers.  Obviously the Big Shot was used on both sets as well as the seam binding ribbon.  Not sure which set I prefer but I think this one is edging in the front slightly !!!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my projects

Class Projects

Hello everyone,

What a rollercoaster of a week its been for me.  I've had some good news and some bad but don't you think that you only remember the bad?  Well I'm not going to let it get me down and so I held my monthly class today and had a blast, as always.  My dippy sister forgot but, after a quick phone call she arrived in time...lol

Today we focused on the Four Frames set and matching punch.  This is such a lovely set to work with.   I actually got chance to craft with them today so I did the same projects but in a different colour and its amazing how different they look

This is the original set that my ladies did:



The colour combination is Rose Red, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Springtime Vintage papers.  I'll post the other colour combo when I've taken a picture.

Enjoy the Bank holiday everyone, we're off to the coast tomorrow to see hubby's sister who is very poorly and then on Monday I am prepping for a interview on Tuesday, stomach's churning just thinking about it.  Still I  can only do my best.

Hugs

Tracy
