Winter/ Snow challenge

Howdy everyone,
today I would like to share with you a card I made for the CAS challenge over at The Outlawz site.

I have used a Free Digi stamp from Michelle at Cre8tive hands. Do pop over & see the fabulous Christmas digis that she is sharing at the moment.

Thanks for dropping by.

As Promised

I am back as promised & feeling a little flat from our staff Christmas party,which was a great success.

For our last class we made some small items you could give as as Kris Kringle or Teacher gifts.
I chose a colour scheme of Purple & Blue for the evening & tried to create gifts using these colours, the first two matched but the last one was definitely the odd one out.

The first item the girls made was this little embossed glassine bag containing 6 gift cards.

the next was this triangle chocolate box

& finally a ribbon bookmark & matching peg magnet.

That's all for now peeps,

Thanks for dropping by

One Party Down One to Go

 One party down One to go! I held my final class for the year yesterday & tomorrow we have our Christmas party for our staff so lots of cooking still to do, at least the studio only need a quick tidy & vacuum & it was all ready to go again.

Thankfully Emily was finished school for the year as she was a great help, she punched out the 165 ornaments needed for the gift bags alone & she bundled up all the kits once I had them cut & unlike myself everyone ended up with the correct amount of bits needed.

I have the most fabulous bunch of ladies that I would now call friends who attend & I like to spoil them, so each received a wrapped gift of some stamping stuff, a calender & memo note holder & a Rudolf skinny treat bag filled with jaffas which Emily also made for me.

 The tables set up with the Gift bags.

All the fabulous food the ladies brought to share

I did have some more photos I took whilst we were enjoying supper but they are not the best.

I will be back on Sunday to share with you the projects we made.

Till then

Just a little glitter

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the lack of posts, the lead up to Christmas is proving to be a tad hectic as I am sure it is for everybody else. Hopefully next week will be a little quieter. This week I have my end of year celebration on Thursday evening with 15 lovely ladies whom regularly attend my card classes, so gifts & gift bags to make (photos to come later) Teacher & staff presents to make for my sons school. & then our Business Christmas party to cater for on Saturday night & a couple of presents still to buy.

I do have a quick card to share, It is one I  made last week & it fits the challenge of "glittering it on" over at The Outlawz challenge site.

Thanks for dropping by.

Lets try again

Well I am back to try & do my post for a second time. Just as I was typing my post up this afternoon we had a storm come through & lost power for a couple of hours seems to be every Tuesday we are having a power outage.

I spent most of today in my craft room again (neglecting the housework), I did manage a few creations, one that I will share with you today & the others I will share over the next week or so.

After seeing seeing Gretchen Clark make a boxy banner on her blog using a square spellbinders die to get the lovely points. I decided to have a go at creating a wine bottle tag, OMG it was super easy & the square die gives such a nice finish (you could possibly hand cut it if you needed to).

I embossed the Christmas Tree in silver & mounted it onto a scallop circle in Night of Navy & then adhered it to my bottle tag & finished it off with some satin ribbon.

I also made a card to go with the above, except I am not overly happy with it may have to have another go tomorrow.

Teachers Gift Bag & Card

Today I spent most of the day creating in my studio, I was supposed to be designing some cards & 3D items for my two remaining classes, instead I ended up making a card & matching gift bag for one of my sons teachers.

When searching through my stash for something to catch my eye, I found this cute little penguin stamp. First I made a few tags & then thought I would decorate a bag to go with it, then a card to match.

I did also come up with a few ideas for class but will have to wait until after my classes to see these.

Thanks for dropping by.
