Last few places remaining for CD Holder Workshops at C.O.W






Hi everyone,

just a final reminder about tomorrows paper crafting workshops, we still have a few places left for the CD holder workshop which takes place at the Custard Factory Biringham  between 6.30 and 8.30pm.

With the onset of the digital age many of us are now turning to digital CD albums and digital scrapbooking... what better way of storing them, than this specially designed CD holder designed by yours truly.   Not only is this a useful way to store your treasured memories but also to share as a gift to those special people in your life.

The above CD holder is one I did for my Sons 13th Birthday celebrations, on the CD itself is DVD footage of the event.  The style of this is obviously very masculine, however you will have the choice to make yours to suit your scheme.

To book or for more info please contact:

New Demo Date Added

Hi everyone,

well I have some very exciting news to share with you... I have been asked to demo at Vesey Arts & Crafts in Sutton Coldfield.

My new demo date is Saturday 5th December where I will be demonstrating how, with just a little imagination and some really wonderful paper products you can create wonderfully unique and special gifts and decorative items for your home.

There will be lots of tips and advice and a sneak peak of some of the things we may be doing in workshop sessions.

David and his team are a warm and welcoming bunch and have very much welcomed me with open arms.  I am really excited about meeting you all at this very exciting event.

Thanks for stopping by


Hugs

Craft Inspirations Demo Day was a great success....












Hi everyone, just thought I wouls share some makes from my recent demo day at Craft Inspirations.  It was another great day at Craft Inspirations, we were demoing the fabulous new ranges from Bo Bunny, four to be exact... Tis The Season, St Nick, Flutter Butter and Gypsy. 

Pictured above are a few of the makes we made on the day nearly all of the above has been made using a combination of papers, 12 x 12 cut out sheets and 12 x 12 combi sticker sheets. The ranges are so versatile and easy to use and not a scrap will be wasted as you will see in the 2nd and 3rd photos... I have used the negatives of the shaped mounts.

I also wanted to do a card rather than a scrap page using the St Nick Paper, as it has a rather large Santa with a lot of nuetral space surrounding it.  By using some simple framing techniques you can use those large prints and bold patterns in your card making.

I want to say a massive thank you to Lou who was as ever was the hostess with the mostess and kept me supplied with lots of tea.

It was also love to see Shirley who takes the weekly clasess as I hadn't seen her for a whiler and some familiar faces such as Zoe, Elaine and Sandra to name but a few, so hello to all the other regular ladies too.

Well thats it from today back to it.

Thanks for stopping by
