Last night

Was training night! Lovely Diane ran a class for demos to make this lovely waterfall book - originally inspired by Jenny Moors.



Each book ended up completely different and mine was based on chickens!



The inside was decorated with pirouette pink swirls from Everything Eleanor and sponging in Crumb Cake.



On the inside is a tab you pull to make the pages move - like a waterfall!



This Top note could be where a message is written for the recipient. As you can see mine is blank as I didn't have anyone in mind at the time of making it.

This weekend promises to be a fun family one as we have lots of time to hang out. Already lovely husband has made me a delicious breakfast so we are off to a good start!

Summer Classes 2009

At last I've organised myself to plan classes that will be taught in my NEW craft studio in the new house. Please note that the classes below are provisional as they depend on demand – classes will not run if there is not enough interest. If a particular date doesn’t suit you, let me know and it might suit others to change the date too! The other option is for me to hold the class at your house with 5 other friends!

All card, stamps, ink etc. will be provided at the class but you should bring your basic craft kit with you: scissors, adhesive, ruler, cutting board, pencil etc. If you don’t have any of these, let me know and I’ll provide you with one to borrow.

If you are interested give me a call or email and I’ll book your place. There is a £2 deposit per person per class (except the scrapbooking class which requires a £15 deposit), and this will only be refunded if the class does not run due to insufficient numbers. Please note prices of each class are per person and durations are approximations.

Duration: 2.5 hours
Price: £3

Blue Angel Craft Class
The idea of this is to have a regular chance to hang out with like-minded people, work on your latest project, share techniques and have fun! The fee will go towards a group stash as well as some yummy refreshments.
This could be held on a weeknight or weekend, depending on what those interested would prefer. Let me know so I can get this set up!
Price: £2 per session

Waterfall Card

I always thought these cards were really tricky to make. Turns out I was wrong! You can pull the bottom green piece of card and the images roll under so each one is on top, one at a time. Really clever!

Plus I had a good reason to use some eyelets, my new pack of Soft Subtles card and my SAB set, Polka Dot Punches. I inked the white background of the card with Certainly Celery which gave it a textured look.

I'm definately going to be running a class on how to make these beauties!
