Sorry Heather

Yes I know that I said I would post the last in the series of the snowflakes cards (my night of navy ones), but I am just totally cream crackered after an exhausting day. It was Invitation Day at the Golf Club today, and I played with my good friend Andy - quite well actually. So well that Andy and I won!!!
Barry played with his friend Phil, but didn't win anything. Andy and I both won beautiful handbags, complete with bagcharms. I had chosen the prizes, so obviously loved my prize, and Sis-in-law- Christine had made me the matching bagcharms.
Any how, we had a meal after the game, then we had the presentation.
Once back home, I just flopped into the chair, watched Casualty, and haven't moved much since!
Promise that I will post the piccies tomorrow!!

Another one for Heather!

Hi Heather - well you wanted snowflakes - you've got snowflakes - today its Chris's Garden Green snowflakes. Look again tomorrow and I'll post the final set in this series.

Real Red Serene Snowflakes

And just for you Heather
This is the box and the Real Red cards to go inside, that Christine made with me last week. You saw mine in soft suede, but I thought you might like to see them in different colourways.

Paper Carnations

I was looking at a blog the other day and found various instructions for making paper flowers. Here is a Rich Razzleberry carnation.
















And here is the card that I used it on - the blog that both the flowerr and the cards are on is here

Three Serene Snowflakes cards

Do you remember the Serene Snowflakes box that I made - well here are three cards that fit wonderfully inside it. Again these are done using the instructions that are available from Jenny Moors
(Thank you Jenny these are really lovely). Don't know whether you can see it but the trio of snowflakes are stamped in Champagne Shimmer mist and it really finishes off these classy cards.

Gift Bag

Here's a little gift bag that we made at our training day the other week - love it!

Gift box

Here is a little box that we made when we went to Julies the other week.
Its made in Night of Navy with the Very vintage wheel. The scallop square is stamped with Pocket Silhouettes in Chocolate Chip and Night of Navy.
The Tab top is punched in Chocolate chip.

Serene Snowflakes box - take two!

Well I don't know why this wouldn't upload last night, but at last here it is.
A lovely box in Soft Suede to hold little cards (which I haven't made yet), pattern from
Jenny Moors blog

Serene Snowflakes box

This will be my fourth attempt at uploading this photo of the Serene Snowflakes box, that I have made using the instructions by the lovely
Jenny Moors
Will try again later to post!!

Slider Card

Here is the card that Christine and I have made today. I printed off the pattern some time ago from the Internet, but have no idea where it came from. When we came to cut and try to fit the slider card inside - we had no instructions! So the old thinking cap had to be donned, but we managed to make it both fit and work.
Colours used are Pale plum and Rich razzleberry, stampsets are Simply Said, Circle of Friendship and Stem sayings.
This is the card closed
















And this is it open.

Here is a piccie of the card that I made to swap at yesterday's Training Day at Julies. Some of my favourite colours used again - Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip.
Will post the ones that I got back later - do call back!

SU Workshop at Thorpe Hesley

Last Wednesday I did a workshop at Thorpe Hesley Community Centre with a lovely group of crafters, some of which I had met a couple of months ago, when we made the little birdhouse.
This time we did a punched animal workshop and the ladies mmade a variety of these.
As you have seen most of the cards already, I won't bore you by posting these again, but instead will post the piccies of the lovely ladies who had a fabulous time punching last Wednesday.

July Impressions

I needed some creative inspiration today, so after reading this months copy of "Impressions", I decided to have a go at this simple make and take example using the Vintage Vogue stampset.
Added a couple of cream flatback pearls from the Pretties Kit for the flower centres.
Am very pleased with this. Will do this at my next Open House/Workshop!

Male birthday Card

For this man's card I have used the fabulous Nouveau Chic DSP plus Black and Sage shadow cardstock with the 1.1/4"Striped Grosgrain ribbon.

Happy birthday Julie

Today it's my SU Mummy's birthday and here is the card that I have made for her.
Colours used are Real red and black inkpads and cardstock and very vanilla card.
The background is made using the Very Vintage wheel. The letters are from the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet.
Happy Birthday Julie!!

And there's more......

Joan Me & Jan





















Will come back later and put names to faces later today - you know who you are!!
