Mum's birthday

This is a card I made for my Mum for her birthday. It's been a busy month in my family, and I'll try and post a picture of the card I made for my Dad, who's had a birthday too. This card was made using the cupcake stamp out of the Cause for Celebration level 2 hostess set, which can't be bought but is earned by hosting a party and making sales. This set is free in addition to free products from the catalogue. E-mail me for more information on arranging a party (not just in Glasgow, but anywhere in the UK, as there are Demos in most areas.)

Past class project from Saturday 18th April

I realised I haven't posted this picture here. This was the project from the April class. Everyone had fun making these cards and the matching box of sweets. If you'd like the project instruction sheet, with photos describing how these items were made and a template for the box, please e-mail me.

Class preview - Saturday 16th May

This is the project we'll be making at the class on Saturday 16th May in the Junction Bar on West George Street (right next to Queen Street station, near George Square). Head up to the first floor and join us!

We'll be making a tiny magazine holder with 4 assorted cards and envelopes. The sample includes birthday, thank you, get well and new baby. This version uses Rose Red card, ink and Designer Series Patterned paper, plus Very Vanilla card and ribbon. Alternative options will be available in blue and chocolate brown.

All supplies will be provided, and a template and design sheet will be e-mailed after the class.

A New Chapter

I've made a new resolution, kind of a new years thing. (I know it's not New Years, but it's a new chapter for me, so I'm running with it!) Here it is:

I will post something on this blog once a week.

Whether it's a project, a picture, or a quick update, I will endeavor to post regularly. There are so many fantastic blogs out there that I read every day, I want to follow their example and share with anyone who stumbles upon my humble little blog.

So there you go! Watch this space!

Party madness!

Well, last nights party was a huge success! Plenty of people turned up, and fun was had by all. The projects seem to go down well, and everyone left with a beautiful little box of sweeties. More parties planned for the future, so watch this space!

Party preview

So this week I'm having not one, but -two- parties this week! One of them isn't a SU! party but I'm hoping it will be fun. The second is a party my Mum is holding, but she's already talking about her next one!

The cards are the invites I made for her to give to people she wants to the party, and the boxes are the projects that the guests will get to make. I've found a couple of games for people to play, and I have prizes, catalogues, forms - hopefully everything I need. I've even got an unmounted stamp set to show people how to mount.

New samples

Here are some samples made with my new SU! sets, Simply Said, Wonderful Words and a hostess level 1 set.
