Box Frame class 2

Good morning ladies,

I'm finally catching up on my sleep from convention last weekend, its only taken all week to do...haha

Yesterday I  held my monthly crafting class and this month we made the box frames again as most of the ladies hadn't done it previously.   It was such fun as the new ladies didn't know what to expect, they thought they would be making a frame from cardboard not a 3D project.  However, all of them throughly enjoyed the class.  Here are some of the pages out of the frames to prevent the glear off the glass :-

This one is Emily's, its a picture of her and her brother and is a christmas present for her nan, lovely thought don't you think?  Colours used for this one were Early Expresso, crumb cake and pretty in pink.

Next we have Rachels.  Rachel decided she only wanted to do a 6x6 frame to match the one she has done previously, so cute.  The colours used on this one are Rich Razzleberry, pretty in pink, bashful blue and Wild wasabi.

Finally this is the one my sister did, shush its a christmas pressie for our mum, and its of my lovely grandson Leo.  This picture was taken about 3 weeks ago when he was only 14 weeks old, he's growing soooo quickly its frightening.  The cardstock used here was Island Indigo, Daffodile Delight and Basic Black.  You may have noticed the special paper at the bottom of this card, thats from the Mocha Morning Speciality DSP, isn't it just lush?

The other ladies didn't quite finish their projects in time but all have assured me that once they have they will wing a picture to me so I can show you all the finsihed products. 

If you would like to order any of the products listed or come to one of my classess just get in touch using one of the methods at the top of my blog.

Thanks for visiting, I'm off to start on my Christmas cards so I'll be back soon with more projects to show you.

Scrapbook class

Yet another glorious Sunday morning.  I can't believe its a week since I last posted, where does the time go?  Well I've been busy at work and home and yesterday had my wonderful family and friends round for a morning of crafting.  This month we concentrated on 2 scrapbook pages.  It was a little hectic as I was getting the ladies to use the Big Shot out of the mini catalogue but it was also great fun.   Mind you it didn't help that I had my scatty and clumsy head on yesterday, what wasn't nailed down got either dropped, knocked over or spilt, till they survived the morning....lol

Anyway here is my effort which gave the ladies a template to work from, although I must say they came up with some lovely layouts themselves and I forgot to take pics of them, see I told you I was scatty.

These pages feature my two gorgeous daughters both celebrating their 18th birthdays,  Nicola, on the right with the "headscarf", is the eldest and who is going to make me a nan in about 3 months....gulp.  Everything is SU and I hope you can see that we have used quite a few products from the mini catty  These are the top note die, scallop envelope die, embosslits beautiful wings die and the elegant bouquet embossing folder.
I'm hoping to get some crafting done today but the ironing is calling my name and, when hubby gets home from work, we're nipping to a garden centre as he wants some more plants for the garden.  I can't say no really as he supports my hobby so its only right I do the same for him, its only a pity his can't be delivered to the house like mine is...haha

Anyway bye bye for now and I'll be back later to share some more projects with you.  Til then take care.

Varsity Alphabet stamp set

Good morning everyone, what a glorious day we have, mind you its been a lovely week really, lets hope its here to stay.   Well this week has got better for me.  Had a bit of a health scare last week but, having been to the hospital yesterday, everything is fine and I'm ok which was a major relief to both me and my husband so its onwards and upwards. 

Its my daughters partners birthday on Monday, along with about 3 others next week, and she wanted me to make his card.  Now this isn't just any ordinary card, oh no Nikki can't be that easy to please...lol, it had to be one from the baby she is carrying.  Luckily she had uploaded some scan pictures onto my lappy so I was able to print one off and work with that and here is what I came up with. 

I've used all Stampin' Up! products (except the scan pic of course, don't think they provide them yet...haha)  The letters were made using the lovely Varsity Alphabet Stamp set.  The colour combo was chosen by using the Colour Coach, however, I had to cheat a bit as I was meant to use Riding Hood Red but, as I've run out, I've had to use Cherry Cobbler instead.  Still I think it goes very well with the Not Quite Navy and Crumb Cake.  I've also used the Spiral boarder punch and little hearts punch along with Curley Cute stamp set and Not Quite Navy and Whisper White ink.  I hope she likes it.

Right off to make brunch for me and hubby as we are both on leave at the moment so, whilst he's in the garden enjoying the sunshine I'll be in the kitchen cooking.   Mmmm something not quite right there...haha

If you visit please leave a comment as I really enjoy reading them.

Take care and hugs
