Santa Banner

Good Morning! This week was our last Tuesday Club of 2014 and we had a little soiree. Everyone brought some food or drink and we had Pass the Parcel and a make! This is the banner that all the girls made. I had seen a similar idea on Pinterest and had 2 unopened Build a Banner Kits so it seemed like the perfect thing to make.

I always like to do some Punch Art at our Christmas session. Sometimes the girls moan at me over the Punch Art but they were well behaved this time!

 The O of the JOY was made with the Wondrous Wreath stamp and I got this idea from my lovely downline Amanda who did come wonderful cards with it.

 Apologies for the photos, I had to use my iPhone as my good camera wanted to use the flash with it being so dark and dreary this week!

Hope you like our party make, it’s now hanging in my hall!

If you would like any goodies before Christmas please contact me before Saturday lunchtime as I will be placing my last order before Christmas on Saturday teatime.

Festive Gift Bag

 Hello there. Here is the last project from our Tuesday Club last week. I didn’t get round to sharing this yesterday as I had my little niece from 7.45am until 2pm and she was a little bit grumpy yesterday, bless her.

 This is a cute little project you can easily make with the gift bags, a piece of Designer Series paper and some accessories. In fact there is barely anything glued down on here as the paper and doily are folded over and held in place by the peg. I think the only thing glued is the bow onto the wreath

Here are all the projects together that we made this week.

Right thats me off to my classes for today! Catch you tomorrow 

Paper Haven Project

Good Morning! Today I am sharing another project from our retreat day on Saturday. This project was designed by my wonderfully talented team member Amanda Bates and I am so thrilled she allowed me to use it at my retreat. The ladies did freak out a little when they saw it, thinking they would never manage it but they followed the instructions methodically and were very proud of themselves when they did indeed manage it.

 I do love the colours of the All is Calm papers and this was the theme for the day. Pear Pizazz, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky and Pool Party were all used on the day.

 I love how it looks quite simple from the outside!!! 

I have added a list of ingredients that I have used on this card. If you would like to get hold of these then they are available in my Online Store. 

Talking of my Online Store I would like to take a couple of minutes to mention something that is happening with it! I would like to thank everyone who has been shopping via my Online Store and would particularly like to give a shout out and a thank you to those customers who have chosen the NO CONTACT option. By choosing this option you haven’t allowed me to contact you to thank you and send a little card through the post. I love to be able to thank my lovely online shoppers and I do appreciate the No Contact people too, even though I cannot let you know this!

Talking of shopping, Christmas isn’t too far away and as usual I will be offering my Christmas Wish List service and also Gift Vouchers too. If you would like more information on either of these please do email me and I can arrange everything for you.

Wondrous Wreath

Hello there! This time last week I was setting up for my huge All Day Event with 30 stampers! I cannot believe that it is only a week ago after everything that has happened this week. I must admit I got a bit upset last night over it all. I think everything just caught up with me emotionally and physically and I just battled on whilst we were at the hospital. Now since I have got home I have had chance to think. Seeing your child being put to sleep is not nice, however old they are and I was there at the hospital on my own at that point as it happened very quickly and Robin was at home tending to Evan. Ross is fine and is recovering well, I am just glad I was there for him throughout everything and I am also so so glad for my own bed these last 2 nights too! Thanks for listening, I feel better for getting all that off my chest!

So back to crafting! Well there has been no crafting by me for over a week but fear not as I have plenty to share with you all as I have projects still stacked up that I haven't shared yet. This card was probably one that took the longest to do as it required 3 lots of wreath stamping and then die cutting. 

The colours used for the wreath are Pistachio Pudding, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler. I did some doodling around the layer of Whisper White, inspired by my lovely downline Maria who likes to do this a lot.

 The sentiment is from the same set of stamps and I added a Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon with glue dots.

Just a short post again today. I need to catch up with my housework as it's in a right state!

Last Tuesday Card

Good Morning and happy Wednesday Weekly Deals to you! We have some lovely things on offer this week and I am going to be stocking up on my gift packaging for Christmas. I will be placing an order on Monday if you would like to add to it, or of course there is always my Online Store which you can find HERE

So here is the last of the cards we made last Tuesday at our club night. This one was CASED from page 9 of the catalogue and I had great fun sharing with the ladies how to make sure that their wreaths were stamped correctly!

 We used the Wondrous Wreath bundle from the Autumn/Winter catalogue which is a timeless classic for your Christmas makes, in fact I have seen it stamped in non-Christmas colours with flowers on it for an alternative look.

We used the Joy from the same set and rolled it out in Gold Foil.

Hope you like todays make and pop back again tomorrow to see another one!
