Here is a full picture of the bunting we made last week on my class

All the ladies seemed to enjoy their class and the banner they made.

I have been suffering for what seems like forever with tooth ache.  Monday I had a tooth taken out.  But the tooth/gum  ache is still there and I seem to have some tooth still in my gum! :(  I am going into dentist today as emergency, fingers crossed its finally sorted.  With the winter weather it seems to zap my creativity, something about going outside in the dark to get into my palace and the odd 8 legged visitor that scares me!

I have 6 orders for bunting at the moment so once I get this pain sorted I will be back to that.

A bunting we will go...

At Crafts U Love this Wednesday I will be sharing my bunting love and making a lovely Christmas banner
in my morning class.

There are a few spaces left so why not book on it.

Hope to see you there!

Woodware Challenge - Look what I did with my flock

This week I am starting the Woodware Challenge and its all about flock. I have a few flock colours and this stuff lasts forever!  Here I have teamed it up with a cute Stampendous stamp

STAMPENDOUS
SNOW BEARS ON ICE
ZD144

and the lovely border from the Stampendous set 

STAMPENDOUS CLING - JUMBO - SNOWFALL PAIR SET CRS5018 74401918834 1 and I used Winter Wonderland Embossing Powder

STAMPENDOUS
WINTER WONDERLAND EMB. POWDER
EP171

As you can see I have popped the flock on the bears hats and scarfs

You cant really see the sparkle from the Embossing powder 

All that is needed to finish this off I feel would be some nice wintery wording.

Check out out the other DT flock creations :)

I have entered this into the Stampendous CAS card challenge at

Woodware Challenge - Its a sketch!

I like the sketches means the challenge theme is open to whatever you want to use.  This week however I have been so busy with "stuff" you know,  life stuff, work, kids, home, family.  It flew in by my knicker elastic! and just made the deadline for this. And if you think my cards are usually SIMPLE boy this one takes the biscuit, but sometimes thats about all that can happen, Life just dictates that.

This cute pair of kitties is called FORBES and FRIENDS and was drawn by the very lovely Jane Gill

The sketch in itself is quiet simple too.  You can see it on the Woodware Challenge blog HERE
Jane has done a beautiful flowery card worth looking at.

Till next time... soon I hope, just hoping all the "stuff" lets me :)

Woodware Challenge card - Something for the boys

Edited to add ** Opps bad blogger didn't post this when it was supposed to.  I am sorry about that!

Something for the boys this week and I decided to choose "William Wizard" stamp.  This an old design from Francoise but fab for those kids that love Harry Potter and the like.

Along with this stamp I used :
Woodware Star punch Yellow one, the Whoop De doo paper pad (I like this one don't I?) and of course lots of crystal stickles glue.

Crafts U Love demo day

Yesterday Crafts U Love launched their new paper room and classroom and we a had a demonstration event to celebrate.  Here are some photos of the cards I made.  Haven't had time to adjust photos so they aren't the best.

Beautiful Hero Art scene stamp - this went down a storm!

I LOVE this Mimi card :)  I cut her off her bauble and added her

to this Marianne star circle die.

Using STAMP AND BOND powder and glitter this

proved a huge hit.

Penny Black Mimi meets Nellie Frame

Another Mimi, a cuttlebug embossing folder and some twine

Another Mimi and another Embossing Folder

I adore this Mimi Image

This Mimi was glittered the same as the Hero image

Can you guess what this box was made from?

And this one?

Here is a side view

And another view..... it was made from the Sizzix Envelope die!

Another cute Mimi

And a Halloween pail

That's all folks!  All materials from Crafts U Love

Colours of Autumn - Woodware Challenge

Today is another Woodware challenge share for me.  This weeks challenge theme was "Colours of Autumn"

I chose to use the Woodware Patchwork Owl set for the focal point for my card.

Paper pieced the whole of the owl with different patterned papers from the Whoop De Doo paper stack in

autumnal shades of browns and greens.

I stuck the circle design onto a square card that I had stamped with the Stampendous

Spring Sprigs stamp.

I love this owl set, there are two owls you can use and I love the fact that the wings are separate and you

you pose them in different places.

Please check out the other DT cards.  Link a the the very top bar on my blog tabs.

Congrats Hedgehog

Last night when I made my Good Luck Hedgie card I also stamped and coloured an extra image.  This came in handy when I needed a card for my Niece Kiera.  She was getting an award at her old school today.

Another super simple card .

Good Luck Hedgehog

A special friend of mine is embarking in something new today.  I wanted to make a little card for her to wish her luck.  Here is a very very simple card.

I used a Penny Black Hedgehog stamp, I have had this one for years and years and I still love it.  The banner is a die from the Nestie Pennant set and the wording is a Stampin Up! stamp.

I am going to enter this into the Penny Black Official challenge blog to share your Critters

and also the Charisma Cardz Blog too as their challenge is sky

Woodware Challenge - Sugar and Spice

This weeks theme is Sugar and Spice and I have enjoyed seeing the other ladies interpretations of this theme :)  I immediately thought of cooking (like Jane) and I remembered this cute Changito set that I have got called "Changito Baker".  I seem to have a lot of this cute monkey!  Reminds my of my cheeky monkey boys!

I teamed this up with the Whoop De Doo paper stack, some markers and a bit

of Glitter Glue and "viola" a simple but effective way of giving a gift of homemade cookies

Now had my kitchen not look like a building site with cooker literally on the floor and

NO worktops I might have ventured into making some cookies, BUT Tesco

cookies had to do for this photo shoot!  We are hoping that our kitchen will be finished in a

week or so and our new cooker ordered so we can have a go and make some cookies.

Penny Black - Mimi

I got a little time yesterday to make a card.  I love this adorable Mimi Image from Penny Black.

I coloured her with Copics.  The lovely sparkle is brought to you by using Stampendous Shaved Ice.  I also used the Martha Stewart Cherish Punch.  All these items can be purchased from where I work.  www.craftsulove.co.uk   We have a demonstration event on Saturday 24th September to celebrate and open the brand new Paper Room and Classroom.  I will be demonstrating Penny Black, Woodware and Hero Arts stamps, would be lovely to see you :)

Woodware Design Team Sketch time

This week with Woodware its back to normal schedule and we have a sketch for you this week.

here is the sketch we followed

And here is my card.  I used the Francoise Spooky Tots set from the newest set of releases. I used an oval of card as a mask and brayered over two shades of purple.  When I pulled off the oval I coloured the main image.  Added stitching and the bats were my interpretation of the strip that was on the sketch.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DTs cards this week (link in tabs above)
