A little bit of This and That

 Good Morning! I am very late posting this today as I have enjoyed a lovely lovely lie in and also have been doing the usual chores that need doing! Yesterday was a full on day! I was at dancing with Evan from 9.30 and home for 12.00, then I had my lovely ladies come to do This and That at 2.00 - 4.00 and then Evan and I were back to dancing for our private lessons from 5.00 - 6.30 - PHEW! We were glad to sit down and watch a film together when we got home!

So onto This and That. I am really enjoying my This and That journal but its a slow process for me - mostly because the photos I ordered in plenty of time from a popular photo place have failed to turn up :( so I had to do a mad print session from my computer!!!

So here is my front cover. I decided to document my 40th year which started last July and finishes in just under 4 weeks when I will turn 40!! I decided to embrace it rather than fear it!!!!!

I have only done a little bit of the inside pages and they still need some attention but here is one of my dancing pages from Blackpool last year.

I had 3 lovelies join me for a little session in the craft studio yesterday!

Here is the lovely Chris

And my lovely friend Ellie

 And her daughter Georgia. It was Georgia's first attempt at "proper crafting" and she certainly kept us entertained!!!

We only managed to finish our front  and back covers but with the help of yours truly Georgia also managed to get the inside cover done. This is the space we will use for some journalling about the background of our journals.

I am running another session next Saturday if you would like to attend. 2pm - 4pm. Thanks to my 3 lovelies for attending yesterday!

Good evening Mr Bond!

Hello there! Yipppeee it's Friday again and tonight I will be going to do a Private Class for the lovely Lucy and her friends.

Here is another card from Friday nights Stamp a Stack - totally CASED from my wonderful downline Amanda. This was her swap from our recent training event! It does remind me of a certain Mr Bond!

Its really easy to make and the dress shirt is created using the Simply Scored tool. The bow tie is from Dapper Dad and we stamped it twice and layered it up.

The sentiment is from Perfect Punches and punched out with the Extra Large Oval punch.

Whilst I have your attention don't forget about our new product THIS AND THAT!! I have had a few orders already and mine will be arriving any day! I have arranged 2 different class dates where you will get the whole bundle included in the cost of the class.

Gold embossed Wedding card

Hi there! I am back to my usual morning posting today! Do you ever make a card and you just love everything about it and don't want to give it away?? This is that card today!!! Part of my Tuesday Club makes doing Wedding/Anniversary cards (but ones that could be adapted for birthdays)

This is a gate fold card that is 14.8cm square, really easy to score using the Metric plate on the Simply Scored tool 

As you can see we did some Gold embossing which I think look stunning and all the ladies agreed and "Oooo'hd and Aaahhhhh'd over it.

We also stamped inside the card too.

And here are both cards together, they both took about the same amount of time to make which was handy as we were so busy last night that I had to split the ladies into 2 groups!

HOT OF THE PRESS - today we have a new product that is on SPECIAL OFFER for the month of May only. THIS AND THAT journal book and accessories with 15% off if you buy as a bundle from me in May.
