Three Days of Christmas Past Day One

I’ve been busy sorting photos on my computer and have come across loads of Christmas Cards from past years. Most of them are designed and made by the fantastically creative Gayle Bond.
Gayles blog is called www.craftinginthebath.blogspot.co.uk and has loads of inspiration on it including her most recent work, her DT entry to the first Mail Art Challenge so why not pop across and take a look.
In the meantime here are the first few cards I found.





Don't forget that the winner of the MailArt Challenge is announced today on the new Challenge Blog http://mailartchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

More tomorrow. xx

Happy Birthday Mum

My lovely mum has a birthday today. Happy Birthday Mum

and thank you for everything you do. You are one special lady. xxx

Thank you Newington

I had a great time in Newington on Monday teaching some lovely ladies in the local village hall.

I was really proud of myself for remembering everything until I went to take the photos and realised I had left the camera card in the laptop at home. Out came the trusty Iphone. Not a great photo but the best I could do at the time.

Not all of them were card makers but everyone, yes everyone, completed these four Christmas cards.

Thank you for making me so welcome. Mum and I really enjoyed ourselves.
Don’t forget, if you have a group of crafters and would like a class, please contact me at ladiesthatcraft@live.co.uk .

Ok now back to my embroidery. I’m counting Aida this morning and trying to work out where to start on my new project. Have a good one xx

Scrapping Your Family

a good technique class today where we made two layouts using die-cuts, heat embossing, distressing, sewing, border folding, stamping and…… well you get the idea.

The first layout was “So Cold” in blue, grey, white and beige tones

The second was distressed with a splash of “Peacock Feathers”

This class is now available on the Ladies That Craft website for everyone who attended the class today.

Off to make up more Christmas Card kits for Monday. xxx

Saturdays Scrapping Your Family Class

Hi everyone

Firstly just confirmation that all of the Nov Scrapbook Kits have been sent and all those who bought them will receive an e-mail from me on Saturday allowing them access to the online classroom.

Saturdays layouts are now done and kits made up so well ahead of myself for a change.

If you are coming to class you will need two photos although both can be added at a later date if you would prefer.

I used:

One 4” x 6” portrait photo of use last winter

One 2.5” x 3.5” portrait photo cut down from a 4” x 6” photo. This is a picture of me holding a fox but you can use any photo of your choice.

I have used a Peacock Feathers Distress Ink pad so if you have one please bring it with you for your own personal use.

Looking forward to seeing everyone xxx
