Hi and Welcome to our bloghop for this fortnight. Weeks are whizzing by and I only have one more bloghop before I am hopping off over to Orlando, how exciting. I am also excited to see what Allison had prepared for us.
Here is our sketch for this week, quite an interesting layout. Quite honestly I didn’t know what I was going to do.
Then the penny dropped, or something did, I have been helping prepare a day of card making with my up-line and part of it is to make 20 Christmas Cards in the day and go home to finish off another 20. I decided to check what was in the pool of goodies left to be made up, we have already done 30 of them.
I took one of the Poppy Parade cardbases, a white card front, after cutting out my white circle from this front, I was then able to hide it with a card from the Santa and More pack, that’s the green piece, there were some strips left from other cards, so they become my strips.
In the kits we have put together, there is the beautiful designer papers, and this piece has flocking on it, trimmed and mounted onto my circle.
One of the cards that we had loved it and chopped it, Kylie’s favourite saying. so took the Merry Christmas stripped that had been chopped.
Wella, finished. Love it, hope you do to. Our class is running on the 13 October from 10.30 and there is just one spot left.
Here is a look at what we will be doing:
If you would like a kit, I am happy to sell one to you.
Your now off to see my partner in crime……………or upline……… Teneale
I must say, I looked outside my circle here, opps did I even use a circle? I think not.
Above is our sketch that Teneale has designed for us, quite an interesting one really, with the splash across it and a sentiment.
From the moment I looked at the sketch I knew that I was going to use the You’re Inspiring stamp set from the new catalogue, don’t have one, ask your demonstrator I am sure she would love to send you one.
I am love coloring in, so this was a perfect stamp set to use, for any of you that follow me on my blog you would have seen it used before, but at that time I used the large Daffodil. This time I chose the smaller one.
You know when you see something and think I don’t need that. This had been my initial reaction to the Myths & Magic Stamp Set and the Formalist in the new occasions catalogue, so I didn’t buy them.
So I decided that these little mystical people would look great on this sketch, thus I stamped out a page of different one and sat for the day on Saturday and colored them with my Blendies, now if you don’t own any, you need to at least try them at some time.
I then took some of my little pieces that I had cut out and started playing with some of the papers to see what went with what, thus this was how I choose this paper, is very magical in itself, beautiful and sparkly.
As they are so cute, I when and looked at another one and started to put him together, hope you like this one too
Here he is, so cute, and I am now in love with these little bundle.
