Hello friends,
A bit of a long blog post today...
Here comes a Christmas card!
Again this one is featured in 'Make Christmas Cards', I did quite a few for that magazine!
The magazine comes with these papers and some die cuts - the sentiment and tag is included.
I added an Eyelet Circle and Layered Poinsettias - in lovely traditional red.
Again a simply constructed card - perfect for batch making.
Shame I'm not heeding my own advice here!
Other news:
Christmas goodies are arriving at the crafty studio ready for classes....
I thought for some of my classes, it would be a nice treat for each person to have a
paper stack of papers to use and then any leftovers are useful to take home,
(plus I love shopping and get carried away when ordering papers!)
For the Christmas Plaque class on 24 November we are using Echo Park - Very Merry Christmas
(there is one place left on this class).
For the Festive Full Day class on Sunday 9 December I've chosen Simple Stories - Handmade Holidays -
it is a 12 x 12 paper stack full of 12 sheets of patterned paper, 2 sticker sheets,
photo overlays and more, (there are two places left on this class).
Here are advent frames in production.
Authentique - Festive paper stacks.
Now to the Bella haircut ....
Before:
So quite a lot of news today - as always any questions or if you would like to book a class,
please feel free to email me:
