Yesterday was my monthly crafting class and, despite being in severe pain, I didn't want to let my ladies down. Luckily they are all very understanding and didn't mind me sitting down for most of the lesson...lol. It was the turn of the scrapbook yesterday and, as we've just celebrated christmas, I thought we'd do pages on this theme.

I must say I did cheat a little with this class as the pages we did I had done about a year ago at a class run by my upliner, Victoria so very little thought had to go into it. As with all my classes I told my ladies that they could either follow my creation or do their own thing as I think its personal choice esp when doing something like a scrapbook. Well I was nicely surprised when a lot of them did vary the layout and I even managed to remember to take some photos of their creations and, with their permission, I will show you them now.

This is my original layout

 

      

  

I'm sure you will agree that all of the changes, no matter how slight or major, are fantastic.  In my next class we are going to be making a chest that holds 10 cards.  I thought it would be a nice gift for mothers day or birthdays.  If you would like to know more about my classes or to order anything, just get in touch and I'll be happy to discuss things with you.

Thank you for stopping by and please leave a comment.

November christmas class

Hello everyone,

Brrr how cold is it? I am so glad I picked this week to have as annual leave... I detest driving in snow so couldn't have timed it better. Whats even better is that hubby is off as well so, if there's any driving to be done he can do it...haha

Well, what a busy time its been for me, hence not posting for ages. I am now back at work full time and boy is it busy. I have also been to the SU convention in London at the beginning of November and it was a fab experience. I met a fantastic bunch of ladies, received some great swaps and had a few days away from the family. It was inspiring to hear of the other demo's success and how they acheived it, thank you all.

Now for my November class. It was another christmas theme and I had a blast. The class was small but I find that much better as I can focus my attention on my ladies who are just starting out as crafters but they always give 100% in everything they try.



The stamp set used was Contempo Christmas with the matching punch and wheel. The class should have lasted 2 1/2 hours but turned into 4, so you can tell what fun we had. I had to laugh at my sister in law. I'm sure she won't mind me telling you she hates cutting out so had a "fit" when we had to cut out the tiny trees... she made us laugh sooooo much our sides hurt, thanks Steph. All the items used are SU.

I will be posting more pictures over the next few days both of cards I've made and of the garden covered in snow, it looks so pretty.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and read my blog.

Big warm hugs
