It was a real pleasure to welcome some lovely ladies from Glen Ayre Church to one of my classes!  I'd like to give a special and warm welcome to Elinore, Ruth, Louella and Carol!  Here they are minus Ruth who had left when I realized I needed pictures! Update:  pictures no longer available, sorry.  Our theme was holiday card projects with a Christian emphasis; and to achieve this, for our first card  I made a greeting framed by the shape of an ornament  using the program,Paint. This greeting exclaimed "Jesus, the true gift of Christmas".   For this project, we used a diorama card in Real Red cardstock. We also used a striped ribbon also in Real Red and White which framed the card nicely.  I love diorama cards because they really look impressive! Our second card project featured a gate-fold style card held with a belly band.  I printed a poem created by M S Lowndes - which you can download for free at her website with her permi...

Hello fellow crafters......hope everyone is crafting on something this week! Here is my furball as he was last week-end on our Easter Spring class - I'm sure he has no ideas in his lil' head as to what we were up to, lol!  Probably just hoping we'd have treats! We DID have treats - and I owe a "Thank You!" to my daughter for taking time to decorate my mini-cupcakes so nicely - see aren't they cute?  She likes the decorating aspect - not so much the baking, ha ha...well, we all have our specialties, don't we!  Here are some of the results of the SUNDAY CLASS! Pretty nice! Everyone did such nice work!  In total, each member did 2 sets of a card & matching pillow favour box as I describe in my CLASS DETAILS in an earlier blog (dates are shown to the right side)...and one set is completely different in 'feeling' - and EVERYONE'S LOOKED FABULOUS!  BIG WELCOME to new crafters KIM and JULIA! I will add more details to my LINK to my d...

Perfect Polka Dot Butterfly Card & Pillow Box with Belly Band Set Whew - that is one descriptive name for this class set, lol! But what a fabulous set to swing into Spring with!  This class is a dynamic one because of all the thrilling things we get to do with the Big Shot!.....embossing with Polka Dots using our Simple Impressions Folder, embellishing with beautiful Butterflies and a small favour box a la Pillow Box! Then, using our newest punch - Scallop Border - it all comes together!  Also features our latest scroll greeting & clear stamps......and some Sale-A-Bration paper too.  Lots of goodies here.  One greeting is for Easter! You can have the option of switching greetings for the sets - versatility is the theme ! Because...I designed this theme to give you two very different looks to demonstrate how versatile our products can be when you mix it up with different colours! So we have a Shabby Chic look in the lavender & white with a ...

I really am having a great deal of fun with shaving foam - almost cracked a rib laughing when I told a friend I bumped into that I was giving a class on shaving foam and she sort of paused and said "what kinda of class ARE you giving that involves shaving foam!?" ....and that's when I realized for the first time how it sounds when you say it that way - - and I was "NO! not like what you're thinking! Or whatever you're thinking!! ha ha!" {she's a nurse - so } - -well, anyways we both had a good laugh. But here is some of my first results with it - I've made some lovely tags! See the background is the paper that has been marble-ized with the shaving foam and inks? Then I used some Stampin' Up Big Shot Dies {one has a flower which was cut in paper and tissue}, and some cut out pieces from various stamps to make 'chic' tags! It's pleasant to sit and craft with bits and bobs - like decorating a safety pin with beads {pull it apart...

Time's over for March Stamp Club and this month we had the "girlz" doing their thing - having fun ! We were busy getting ready for Easter by making some very pretty Easter boxes! During class, the girls were introduced to the Crop-A-Dile ....and judging from the photo, it was only a matter of lining up the oversized eyelet and presto, they all did a fabulous job of it! In fact, they did better than I did - watching younger people do something in half the time is a real reminder that thankfully I have "experience" on my side, lol! They also 'delved' right into the candy-bags they made with the YUM M Y stamp set and Top Note Die {Sizzix Big Shot} -- as we always do a 3rd 'mystery project' - usually something short and "sweet" , ha ha....so true in this case! I wonder if those even made it home! You can see at the end of the class, everyone loads up with their little prizes, and the beautiful boxes they made. No one had any experience ...
