As promised previously I am sharing the congratulations card and matching envelope box we made in the class at Running with Scissors on Saturday morning This is a new class I have started teaching at the shop in Grimsby which will run on every 3rd Saturday of the month I had 14 lovely ladies who attended the class this week and they all had a great morning using Stampin' Up! products. Thank you Tracey and mum for all your help, I couldn't have done it without you! I showed them how easy it was...

Happy Easter to you, I hope you all had a lovely weekend and didn't consume too much chocolate! I have had a great few days. On Friday I was in my craft room making some cards and preparing for my first class on Saturday morning at Running with Scissors, which was enjoyed by everyone who attended. Thanks Tracey for all the hospitality! On Easter Sunday we visited family and headed off to Sheffield Arena in the afternoon.  My husband had bought me some tickets to see Gary Barlow for...

Hi everyone, I can't believe another week has past since I last posted on my blog.  A lot has happened during this week. Firstly I celebrated my birthday last Saturday whilst we were still away. I had a lovely day. We travelled by car from France to the heart of Switzerland to Lake Lucerne during the day. To break up the journey we stopped off at many quaint and scenic areas along the way, starting with Eguisheim in France.   The hotel we stayed in was a great location surrounded by...

Hi there, I am still in Thann, France until tomorrow when we travel into Switzerland. I had a lovely 2 hour walk  yesterday in the glorious sunshine down by the river alongside all the grapevines on the hillside that are starting to bud with springtime.  It is my dad's birthday today and this is the card I have made for him I have used the 'Open Sea' stamp set in Baked Brown Sugar, Basic Black  and whisper white colour combination   Other products used are venetian romance...

Hi, I'm back again blogging. I have had a well deserved break and taken a trip to Gambia for a week with my husband. It was a country we hadn't thought of visiting before but when the offer came up on the internet we decided to give it a go.  Although it is a very poor country, the people are all happy and friendly, and there are so many interesting and beautiful places to explore.  We will certainly be visiting it again in the future. I will post a couple of photos soon. We arrived...

 As promised I'm back with a couple of quick Easter cards made using the 'baby we've grown' stamp set.  These can be made in any colour and are so easy to individualise in your own style. They are great for all ages and can even be used to create a wildlife or garden theme. Let your imagination run wild.   These bunnies are also much easier to clean/keep as pets, than the real thing, so why not treat yourself. I think I would prefer them if they were chocolate and edible...

Hi everyone, Looking through my selection of cards I realised we hadn't made or shared any 'baby' cards so I inked up the new 'Baby, we've grown' stamp set, from the Spring/Summer catalogue (wood £21.95/ clear £17.95) and set to work making a few cards Here are the three of the cards we made in our classes over the past couple of weeks. We made one in soft sky, one in pink pirouette and one in pistachio pudding.  Look at the cute little shoes, I even tied some little bows in white bakers...

It was great to see so many people at Saturday's 'Make and Take' workshop at Running with Scissors. Most people came and stayed all day, having fun and crafting whilst eating cakes and drinking coffee or tea.  We had a raffle for some Stampin' Up! goodies, which was won by Yvonne and Jan. Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day a success, and a huge thank you to my mum who was a great help and to Tracey who makes everyone so welcome and the hospitality and support was 5...
