Class - Thursday 20 May

Hi All

Here are the cards for my class on 20 May. Make sure you book in at Craft A Lot (http://www.craft-a-lot.com.au/) I am using Upsy Daisy Papers and Crafty Secrets stamps. They turned out pretty cute :)

Ebay and Stampin Stuff

Wow - an update for you all. Look at this pic below! OMG - I am hooked on Ebay! And also this little website called Stampin Stuff. Also all the flowers are from a shop in the UK. Aren't they beautiful?! The stamp sets are Tim Holtz which I am a little hooked on at the moment along with all of his embellishments which I got from Amy at www.stampinstuff.com.au

Distress Inks

Distress inks - don't you love them. Tim Holtz - you are a genius! I am loving the new colours that have just come out. I have been playing with them all week. Below is a pic of the class that I will be teaching on April 29. Using Distress Inks and showcasing a couple of different techniques....I love love love them :)

Inspiration

Sometimes you jump on someone's blog and it inspires you to create something beautiful. I found this blog a couple of days ago http://floliescrap.over-blog.com/ and Flo's cute little cart with the umbrella inspired me to make this card. I love it and thanks Flo for a beautiful blog!

I also learnt how to make beautiful flowers the other day too - doilies and tissue paper and Smooch Spritzers. Thanks to You Tube! :)

Hope you like!

Webster's Pages

The shop has just got in some new Webster Pages. They are absolutly beautiful. Being a card maker it is really hard to use these pages on cards without taking away from the paper so I decided to do a scrap page. Getting inspirationfrom the Webster Pages site - http://websterspages.ning.com and now that I have a beautiful subject to scrap - this is what I came up with.

Hope you like!

Must go off and do another now! :)

Cheers, Claire

Baby...!

Wow - so sorry it has been so long! So much has happened since I blogged last and so many cards have been made since too!


Firstly - great news is that I am now the proud mother of a beautiful baby girl - Ella Rose. Ella was born on 28 January.





It has been a busy and hectic month adjusting to not working, being a mum and being on demand 24/7 and also fitting in craft! But I wouldn't change anything. She is just adorable - I am so in love!

In regards to craft - I am back teaching tonight.

Next weeks cards are below. Reminder if you want to come you will need to book - http://www.craftalot.com.au/







These cards are using Ippity Stamps that can only be bought at Craft-A-Lot and only if you participate in this class. The stamps are beautiful.

Hope you like!
