Cheers to You

Apologies for not blogging until later this week. I have been experimenting with not switching my laptop on until after lunch! Surprise surprise, I tend to get more done!
This week I have run 2 Cheers to You classes and here are the cards we made. I am having such fun running these classes and have a 2 great groups of ladies. Tuesday night tend to be full but I do have a couple of spaces on a Thursday morning if you are local to me!
We made 2 male cards and a female card
As I only had 3 ladies this morning I had a little chance to make my own extra easel card and came up with this one

Think it could do with a sentiment on the bottom really!!!
Right I must dash, I really do have so much to do. I have got all my wedding orders out for this week so thats one thing ticked off the list! However I have my All Day class on Saturday and my lovely SJ is coming up to stay for the weekend and loads of my team are coming to share the day! I am so excited but very nervous for everything to go OK, and of course I still have 1001 things to do for it yet!
Bye for now

My first ever stamped card and Beatlemania!

Ooops late posting today!!!!
My Mum brought me an envelope full off my old stuff from when I first started doing the musicals, all old programmes etc and some things from school!! They are moving house in a few weeks so are having a bit of a clearout!
I found this in one of the envelopes and I think it is my first ever stamped creation! Looks like it could have been the old potato stamping!!!! I think this card is 30 years old!!!
How fab that my Mum still had it! Could have possibly done with a Stamp a ma jig to get it straight!
The thing that most impressed me was the neatness of my writing to say I was probably 5 or 6 when I wrote this! Look at those impressive finger spaces and neatness!!
We had a good laugh at card class last night. Unfortunately I was "home alone" as Robin was late back and had no one to supervise the boys whilst I ran my class! They spent most of the evening like the photo below!!! On the Beatles rockband. We kept getting a little burst of a song whilst we made our cards!!! I wouldnt mind but I had already got the little ones pyjamas on before the class started and the monkey got changed!!


Bye for now!

2 Callums 2 different cards

Good morning
My son, Ross is going to a joint party on Saturday. Both boys are called Callum but both are very different from each other. I had a spare half hour last night to squeeze in these 2 really quick and simple cards.
The first Callum is a football fan and supports Leeds United. Used the Just Soccer set for this card, made my own background with the ball and the goal logo! The colours are Brilliant Blue and Yo Yo Yellow
The other Callum is not a football fan at all, apparently he likes breakdancing!!!! I was going to attempt to stamp the fella from All in the Family spinning on the floor but wasnt sure it would look right!

The background was made with the Starring You set and the colours are Real Red and Green Galore.

Here they are both together! Another job ticked off the very long list!
