Recent classes

We all had a great time making this little wallet booklet on Thursday.

Everyone added their own twist on the cover. It's always great to see different ideas evolve.

Then Sunday saw the 'Crafty Individuals' acetate book class.

Remind me never to let them watercolour again, it was soooooo quiet.

This was the sample, quite manly rather than my usual style as Sandra wanted a book she could adapt for her husbands 60th.

Scrapbooking Night

This weeks page we have used papers by Prima (Very YUMMY!!!) which we distressed and inked the edges.  We also used the Tim Holtz die Tattered Florals to create the layered flowers and the leaves dies are by Cuttlebug.  Here is the page....

Classes

Just a really quick post tonight. The card we made on Thursday using the Tim Holtz 'dress form' die and Crafty Individuals plate CI-285. I used very pale subtle colours for mine but it was amazing to see the variations in colours on the cards the ladies made. I really must remember to take my camera next time!

This is the acetate book we will be making next Sunday.

The darker colours make it suitable for either male or female, but it would gorgeous in brighter colours too...

Weekly Scrapbooking

Here is the sneak peak from Thursdays scrapbooking class!!!!  We used a selection of papers from the Making Memories Paper Reverie range.

And here is the class all busy beavering away



Hmmm quite tidy for a change!!  Mind you this was taken before Wendy handed out some gorgeous 'just baked' fairy cakes to go with the coffees. 

Ooh La La Card Class Photo's

Today saw the second Copic Class at Grimsby Crafts

Firstly a thank you to the guys (the added entertainment) - the table was perfectly repaired for the Grand Calibur to use.

and although we are still a little slow with the copic colouring, due to the pen distribution and on this occasion selling out in the shop of the colours used in the class, didn't we all get on well.  The colouring is coming along nicely and we didn't half make a mess with the distressing and the feathers but then isn't that what crafting is about.

Here are the photo's from today's class

I booked the official photographer and he was so discreet that no one noticed him taking the photo's.

Everyone got busy straight away

My someone is concentrating on distressing those edges with the scissors

eyes down!! but better than a game of bingo any day

Loved all the banter - think this class is going to be renamed 

"Morrisons class of 2011"

everyone knows everyone from Morrisons :)

A little one to one tutorial

Star book class photo's

Sunday saw the first of the all day classes and it was a great success.

The old favourite star book went down really well.

In fact it certainly kept them all busy.

I'm just sooooo pleased Lynn was there to make sure we were all fed and watered.

Everyone was so pleased when their books were completed. Sorry that we didn't get everyone on the photo.

Here's a couple of snips from the next class.

Pretty, pretty......
