I'm back!!!!

I know, I know...I've been off the blog 'grid' for a while now... I've been busy hosting classes at work and home.... prepping for a Christmas Craft sale at work early December, while also managing life's up's & down's. I have sooo much to share with you I may have to do it over a few posts.

Firstly... I thought I'd 'pimp' my last Holiday Hoopla class I'm hosting on Friday December 3rd (see below)

When? Friday December 3rd
Where? My house in Kanata - email me for details
What time? Anytime after 6pm
What to bring? Adhesive of your choice
What I will provide? a night of stamping fun, great draw prizes, christmas music, a treat for everyone and lots of Christmas snacks

**Reserve your seats now - only 4 left**

Secondly... I've successfully put up my main tree in my house. I know, I know it's early but I had a friend come over with her sister and take some family holiday photos. How did it go? Well... have you tried to get a 2yr old to sit still for photos... hehehe....it was ok...but I also had low expectations.... I'm happy with the outcome. Next year will be better right? 3yrs olds are easier?? Check out the SU! Holiday Advent Calendar - cool little take-out boxes :) full of goodies. Can't wait till Dec 1st...


Ok.. back to some card-making. I was going posts some photos of my creations the other night but my new camera battery decided to die on me after 2 photos. I think I'm going to have to make myself a light box seems I'm not liking the orange tinge to my photos...





Cheers

Simple but Chic!

So I was out last night meeting with other SU! demos doing a shoebox swap. The aim of the night is to make 10 demo cards so you can use them in your card-making classes. In return you have to create a demo card that can be put together within 5mins or less - duplicate 10 times and bring to the event for 10 demos to create your card. Anyway... this is my simple but chic card I made.

I love, love, love how simple it is to create this bunched ribbon look.... it's sooo easy... and you don't even need to use a needle & thread. Did I tell you I was terrible in home ec when I was at school. I barely sew a button on a shirt... I'd rather throw away the shirt and buy a new one ;P

This is another card I made the other night.... again.. simple...good for a beginner papercrafter.



Anyway...I've gotta hit the craft table... I finally published my lunch-time classes at work...so now I have to create more samples for my classes.

Cheers

So I've been busy at home & work these last 2 weeks.... I've been sooo tired to the point where I haven't even sat at my craft table :(.

Crazy Christmas Crafts!

Wow!! what a crazy few weeks I've had.... I've been really busy prepping for a 2-day craft fair I did yesterday & today....plus I've done 2 classes. I have one final class tomorrow night for 7 people... so I've got to get my head down tonight and finish the prep. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow seems it's where I get the stamping and the glitter out!!!! Check out my display of some of the cards I've done over the last few weeks. After tomorrow night I will be sending them out to family & friends... I've got a few more photos to post... but for now I'll keep you guessing.


Here's a quick pic of one of my Christmas trees...


Just on a holiday giving note... my friend Jo-Ann challenged people to make a get well soon card for this little girl in the US who has brain cancer. I don't know what it is... maybe it's because I'm a mum now... but I teared up right away. So.. I challenge you...to make a card and send it to this little girl called Kate! Besides... don't you just love opening mail that is not a bill ;P

I'll post my card soon....

Cheers
