Craftwork Cards

Here are some of the lovely things I made on the Craftwork Cards workshops recently.

Shoe-box swap night

oooooooo what fun we had round at Janes the other night .... she hosted a shoe box swap night. Don't ask me why its called a shoe box swap cos its got nothing to do with shoes at all but rather the idea is each guest designs a papercraft project then prepares the a kit for each of the other guests. In our case there were five of us .... all were Stampin! Up demos except moi. Anyway what happens each 'shoe box' goes around the room and the person next in line takes their kit, makes the project and passes it on, so at any one time each person is making something different! And this is what we made...

This was Margaret's card project which I loved


This Debbies lovely post-it note holder project


This my 3" x 3" notelet project


This Janette's Christmas Card project

And this lovely chocolate orange gift bag from Jane



What a great evening

Samuel Taylor Brighouse - Raspberry Ripple Demo

Here are some of the samples I left when I demoed at Samuel Taylor recently. Photos are pretty crabby having been taken on my phone ...

If you fancy having a go at making a flower like this here's a link to where I found it

Picture on the left is a little mini album but the photo is so poor you can't really tell.

All made with K&Co Wild Raspberry papers and embellies supplied by Bramwells.

Am going to try to find some new pictures of my room to post so you can see how it has evolved since we first did it.

My room

I remember way back posting some piccies of my then craft room. Well we got busy last year and converted our outhouse to become my new den ... thought I would share some glimpses of how it was when it was first completed. I've filled some of those empty looking spaces since these were taken and I'll post some more up-to-date pictures soon. I'm a bit of a kleptomaniac and struggle to chuck things out. I think I'll end up like Mr. Trebus, that polish bloke that had to climb over junk to get into his house! lol xx Anyway Hope you like it.
