Crafts and Cupcakes

The Christmas Planner

On Saturday afternoon I hosted my first solo event in Coleraine for 16 lovely ladies . We made a beautiful christmas organizer and a card using a dahlia fold . The "icing on the cake " (excuse the pun !) were the delicious cupcakes which Lara brought from her friend Veronica in Eglinton .At least these ladies have no excuse now not to be organized for Christmas !
I seem to be constantly chasing my tail at the moment ! Thankfully I have only 1 more craft fair on Thursday evening . And 2 more classes ! Then maybe I will get around to making some christmas cards !!

Another christmas ornament

 

What do you think of this colour scheme - cherry cobbler and early expresso ?

Keepsake Album

I was asked last week if I would make a keepsake album for a lady who is changing jobs . I was a little nervous taking responsability for such a project but thanks to the beautiful papers (Everyday enchantment - from Sale-a-bration 2011 ) the project just flowed ! As 50-60 people would be signing sentiments to her in the album I had to create lots of pockets and labels .I hope the photographs do it justice ! I got the original idea from www.sarahsinkspot.com , Sara called it a scrappy album and the ladies who attended Joy and Gina's crafting event in the Dunsilly last November will recognize the project !

100 Years Young!

It's hard to believe isn't it! It's only 6 days since I last posted and how many times in a life time do we get the opportunity to make a card for such a special celebration. Happy Birthday Uncle Sam!

Christmas Ornament

I am so excited ! I absolutely love this christmas ornament ! I couldn't wait to have a go making it when my UPS man delivered my box of new products on Tuesday . I will be doing classes on how to make this beauty and if you are interested please email me .

Engagement Card

A little while some friends of mine got engaged . This was a great excuse to use I {heart} hearts stamp set . The Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon ties really well and I added a little tag from the Tiny Tags stamp set .

christmas card class

This was christmas card class number 2 . I know I have been neglecting my blog for a wee while but I had mislaid my connection cable for my camera and then when it did turn up , I had just got out of the habit of blogging !! Apologies to all !! To be honest I love crafting but am really not so keen on the computer side of things and I really need to make a conscious effort to record all my creations . The good news , is that , I have photographed whatever I have made and I promise to let you see them . Anyway I hope you like these christmas cards in Marina mist , it made a nice change from the traditional colours of green and red .
