Beware Pirates!!

My latest purchase is the Beware Pirates stamp set which I am loving!!

I have been playing with it and made this card along with one made with the Lovely as a Tree set. They both used some retired paper that needed using up.

The happy birthday is not a Stampin Up stamp but one I found lurking in my box.

I have also used the pirate stamp in another mini class set that I have designed ready for use for our next class or party. Take a look at the "Party & Mini Class" page and you will see it there.

Happy New Year

Well I have spent the morning packing away the christmas decorations, putting the cards in a safe place for next year and hoovering up the pine needles from the tree.

I hope to be able to re home the Christmas tree where my husband works and maybe use it again next year. After all a tree is not just for Christmas, it is for life!

I just thought I would show you the decorations I made for the tree using punched shapes, which were folded in half and stuck together with a piece of Stampin Up's elastic cord in the middle. I used miles of the stuff over the festive period on my pressies and gift tags.

Easy to make and great fun with the kids helping. Just like making the paper chains in the old days!

Please excuse the fuzzy photo. I hope for a new camera for my birthday. But I am not holding my breath!

Opps Done it again!!

Sorry again. I have been a bit naughty and not done any posting for a while!

Since I last put a posting on my blog, lots has happened. On 26th November I had a stall at the Walberton Craft Fayre where I met lots of lovely ladies, who I hope will go on to host one of our mini card classes. It was a very festive evening and made me feel that Christmas was well and truly on its way.

Also Helen and I have done another class at The Windmill and a couple of mini classes at my house and at Mum's.

Well Christmas is steaming towards us and the kids have broken up from school. Most of my Christmas cards have been written and sent. Pressies almost wrapped and decorations about to go up. Just the turkey to buy and I think I am almost there!

Once I have done all that and I have a bit of time to myself, I will start putting together some more selections for our mini card classes ready for next year. Helen will be busy making up the packs for the next two classes which are featured on the classes page. Please let me know if you want to come and join in the fun and I will make sure that Helen has a pack with your name on it!

I am also now taking bookings for parties and mini card classes for 2011, so give me a buzz if you want to organise one for you and your friends and relatives.

Well the house is stirring so I had better go and get the show on the road.

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you all.

Christmas is Coming

Hello, hope you are well.

Once again I have to apologise for being quite for a while. Helen and I have been so busy again!

We have been to the annual Stampin' Up! convention at Addington Palace in Croydon, where we spent two days with like minded people picking up new ideas and tips, ready to pass on to you. When I get a mo I will post some of the fabulous swaps we made with other SU demonstrators.

We have also been getting all our November and December classes prepared ready for you and have even started thinking about next year! Scary isn't it!

On Monday we did two classes at the Windmill. One at 2.30 and one at 7.30, where we made six Christmas cards. Here they are.

The next class is on the 13th December when we will be decorating a Christmas candle and tin along with a tri shutter card. Please let me know if you would like me to reserve you a place.

Project Photos

Here as promised is a photo of the projects we made on Saturday. We also made a Tri Shutter card. All the projects used Stampin' Up!s Jolly Holly papers and matching card.

Each lady had a goody bag, which included spare papers, gold cord for their tags, a pot of Dazzling Diamonds, along with a personalized note book, pen and bottle of water.

As everybody enjoyed the day so much and all wanted to do another one, Helen and I will be planning and plotting and will hopefully be putting another Craft Extravaganza together for Spring next year. So keep watching for further details.
