Norman's Italian Roadtrip

Here's the product of a lovely evening spent with my bezzie Dawn, who has arranged a surprise trip for her fella for a BIG birthday ...












This little book is made from 6 pale blue DL envelopes, each with both of the short edges trimmed off and then creased 9cm from one edge. Each envelope then glued to another and the pages decorated with papers and tags (cut from the George cartridge on the Cricut machine), ribbons, photos etc.

Incidentally, does anyone know where I can get a Cricut machine fixed in the UK? my screen's bust so although the machine still works the screen does not. As you can imagine that means lots of trial and error to get the size you want ... and hence lots of paper being scrapped!

Long time no see ....

well hello again ! worst blogger in the world here. I bought a great book from Amazon last week and Gary took me to Lakeland and treated me to a great piping set and so I could make these little beauties.

I'm so chuffed with my first attempt at piping and decorating. As there's only the two of us at home there was no way we'd eat all these ourselves, so they ended up going to work with me and were shared around the office today. Yum. x

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
