September’s Cards

 Well hi everyone hope you all have had a great summer. I had a BRILLIANT time at the Olympics & was so lucky to see Mo Farah win his 2nd Gold Medal. I have never been so proud whilst singing the National Anthem before. It’s a memory that will live with me forever.
I thought this month we would try 3 different things.

• The first card teaches you yet another way to make a Christmas Tree out of a shape we use so often (A gold star to those of you that can guess the shape)
• The second card uses Flower Soft, a product that has been around for a while, but I for one have not got round to trying before.
• Then the third card uses a new technique which I hope you will enjoy having a go at.

So here goes with this months cards
Card 1 – Another Christmas Tree

Card 2 – Flower Soft Card
Version A

Version B



Card 3 – Magic Snowflake

August’s Cards

Hi everyone I’m sorry I will not be with you again this month as hopefully by the time you read this I will be in London awaiting my debut in London’s Olympic stadium admittedly it will be as one of the 80,000 spectators rather than as a competitor………. but at least I can say I was there.
So please look out for me at the 4 x 100m men's relay final on Saturday & at the closing event on Sunday, I’ll be the mad lady with the banner a saying “Hello Nanny” as we promised my Mum that's what we will do for her (just hope security do not confiscate it) whilst shouting/ waving madly at the camera just for Sylvia (this is an insider joke that Sylvia herself can explain to you).
Anyway enough about why I will be absent from the group & more about the cards we have planned for you so here goes……..

Card 1 – Shabby Chic designed by Jeanette
please note this card is for HETHERSETT ONLY

Card 2 – Say it with flowers or according to Sylvia’s email patterned papers &  painted flowers
(I liked my title better but don’t tell Sylvia that)

This uses lots of coordinating papers & a different layout to what we have used before.
Card 3 – Xmas Parcel card


Card 4 – Xmas Ribbons & Papers
