Oops!

Posted wrong box/card set for the Inspiring Inkin' Challenge-sorry! Will upload correct ones first thing tomorrow! x

Two in one day!

Well, whilst I have a spare couple of minutes I thought I would stick some pics on here.  The recipes will have to wait until later in the week I am afraid.  the first ones are of my other half Alastair making a card.  His mum Gina said that I would never get him to make anything so I took photos to prove that he did it!  This has been put away and will be sent up to Newcastle for mother's day.

 

  

 

The next couple of pics are from a little workshop I did for my Nan, some friends and family members. The first is a card we made and the second is a 'pop up' chocolate that I CASED from something Amanda showed us at our team meeting in december.  It's also something that I will be using for my easter classes!

 

  
 

The pictures below are my entry to this weeks Inspiring Inkin' Challenge.  You have to make a box and some cards to go in it.  I used some of the mellow moss dsp from the hostess paper pack to make the box and 3 vanilla love notes for the cards.  I made 2 very simple little cards and a mini easel card.  Sorry abut the quality of the pictures!

 

  

  

  

  

The last photo is related to my other job. I work at an after school club called the Hedgehogs.  We wanted to start a good behavior reward system. When the children do a good deed or are exceptionally well behaved they get a hedgehog stamp on their name card, once they get to 10 stamps they get to wear the hedgehog 'medal' for the day and also receive a little prize (notebook/pen or sweets).  I was searching for ideas for the 'medal' when I remembered the Fun & Fast Notes set! Below is what I created and the kids loved it! The only problem was that the circle punch that fits in the scallop circle was slightly smaller than the hedgehog image so the butterfly had to go! :(

 

Hope you haven't fallen asleep after looking at all of these photos!

Happy Crafting

I've outdone myself...

Hello again!  Even I have been left stunned by the amount of time it has taken me to post on here!
Well, it has been a very busy few weeks.  We had an amazing shoe box swap evening and training day, organised by my lovely upline Amanda.  Honestly, I don't know where she finds the ideas or the time!  We completed colour sample sheets which have proved to be invaluble  to me over the last couple of days.  We also saw two fantastic demonstrations, 1 from Jane and 1 from Elaine.  I have had a go at making an easter version of the card that Elaine showed us but it is very much a work in progress at the moment :/

I also dipped my toe into unknown waters at the weekend when I attended Amanda's 'Year in a Day' scrapbook class.  I have customers and family members who are interested in scrapbooking and wanted me to do some classes/workshops for them but i have never really done any myself.  I definitely came away inspired and full of enthusiasm and I am now in the middle of organising a scrapbook class of my own.

My 8 month work in progress (craft room) should be finished this weekend! I have chopped and changed things about so much over the last few months that my poor other half develops an allergic reaction every time Ikea is mentioned!  I think I emptied B&Q out of all of their drawer units last weekend too!

Anyways, enough of my rambling, i'm just off to take the camera off charge and hopefully upload some photos of my recent creations!
