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

Welcome to Christmas in July

Hi ladies

Firstly can I say a big thank you for all my birthday cards I have received, I know its not my birthday until tomorrow but I could not resist having a sneak peek at the cards that have been arriving all week. They are all truly beautiful, you really are a talented bunch of ladies.

Card 2 – Christmas Scene

Card 3 – Resist Background

Here are 2 versions of the same card to show you do not have to stick to the same colour scheme

Hi everyone, hope you are all keeping cosy & warm & using all this cold weather as an excuse to get in your crafting rooms.

Here are this months cards & just as a reminder to all the Hethersett Ladies that this months meeting will held at the Jubilee hall NOT the village hall. You can find the Jubilee hall on the same road as our usual venue but on the opposite side of the road - just look out for my little car outside. Hope that all makes sense.

So here goes:

Card 1 – One for the Boys

This was the card we had left over from last month.

Card 2 – Lace & Romance.

This is Sylvia’s version of a card we did at Saturdays all day event.

Card 3 – Butterflies & Flowers

This is one large stamp & I’ve used decoupage in places.

Card 4 – Flower Garden

On your card we will do the cheats sewing method not real sewing as on this version.

Take care & see you all at the weekend.

January Cards

Well Happy New Year to you all.

Both Sylvia & myself hope you had a great Christmas & New Year & are managing to keep to all your New Resolutions unlike myself...........

My first resolution was to be more organised & here I am at gone 1am updating this blog the night before we all meet........I think I can firmly say I've well & truly broken that one !!!

Oh well better late than never, so here goes

Card 1 - Love Tag

As Valentines is before we meet next month I thought I'd do one for all you romantics but also make it so it could be given at some other time too.

Card 2 - One for the men

Another of my New Year Resolutions was try to make at least card that was suitable for the men in our lifes so here is this months offering (Lets see how long before I break this resolution too)

Card 2 - Butterflies & Vellum

With this card I'm going to show you an easy way to colour your vellum any colour you like, although the picture does not show it very well the vellum is actually a pale blue colour.

Card 4 - Not a bit of Pink in Sight

Sorry cannot get image to upload
