March Cards

Sorry ladies if you were all expecting this months cards to be on the blog by now but I seem to have run into a bit of a problem.

I seem to have mislaid my camera somewhere & this therefore makes it impossible for me to take pictures of the cards & then upload them to this blog.

Both members of my family also own digital cameras but hubbies one seems to be broken & Amy does not appear to trust her Mummy with her one & has therefore hidden it saying she will only allow me to use it in her presence so she can teach me the correct usage of it & also she does not want me losing her one too!!!!

I'm hoping I may be able to borrow one tomorrow but as I'm now about to do 2 long days (07.00am - 7.30 pm) at work I cannot realistically seeing me being able to get the cards uploaded until Weds pm at the earliest.

Sorry again & hopefully normal service will resume shortly.

Feb cards

Well here are the cards for this months meetings.

Please note that as we have some guest designers so we will be doing different cards for each group. Hopefully will all get a chance to do each of the cards - if the designers give me their permission.

Here are Aylsham's cards:

Card 1 - Sylvia's Love card



Card 2 - My Male card



Card 3 - My Swivel Top card

Card 4 - Sylvia's Girlie Chic

Hethersett's cards are as follow:

Card 1 - My swivel card - card No 3 above

Card 2 - Sylvia's Girlie Chic card - No 4 above

Card 3 - Cathy's Hat cards

Card 4 - Dot's surprise card

It's a surprise as I do not have a picture of it.

Hope this all makes sense to you all.

Don't forget Thetford Craft Show on 14th Feb.

See you all soon

January Cards

Well can you believe we are only now having our first meeting for 2010 & in a couple of weeks it will be February's meeting!!!!

Sylvia & I do hope you all had a great Christmas & New Year, it seems all but a distance memory now, only another 11 months before we do it all again.

Here goes with this months cards which you will notice all have a bit of a LOVE theme about them. If you prefer not to do this theme just bring the appropriate stamps etc for the theme you which to do.

This is card 1 the Easel card. This card sort has been in the crafting press quite a bit recently it is a very different card sort but oh so easy to make.

Card 2 is a Valentine note card which again is not an average type of C6 card, again please feel free to change the colour scheme to make it into a different theme.

My last card looks pretty ordinary from the front but it holds a special surprise inside but I'm not going to tell you any more. You do need good quality card to make this one. Stampin Up works well but so would Bassill.
If you do not want to spoil the surprise then do not visit my own personal blog but if you cannot wait here is the link to see more of this card

Here is card 4 this is Sylvia's love themed card-
See you all at Aylsham on the 30th & our new venue at Hethersett on 31st. Take care & see you all there.

December Calender cards

Well here it is at last my calender card. I really do not know what's going on with Blogger but I've had real problems with both my blogs, is anyone else having the same problems?

This card uses a "figure of eight" beer mat, which I have to admit is harder to cover but then you do not have the problem of joining it together at the end. I will have some of these mats available for you to use.

On this second card I've made it slightly more complicated by adding 4 different pictures that can be changed according to the season. As time is of the essence we will be doing a 1 image card but this is for extra inspiration.

See you all Sunday.

December cards

Well hello again, are you all ready for Christmas yet? I know I'm not so if anyone fancies buying some presents or making a few cards for me then let me know.

So here are a couple of this months offerings & as I get the pictures for the others (hint hint Sylvia) I'll upload those too.

This card is Sheila's acetate card & in real life it is very pretty but unfortunately I could not get it to photograph that well. Sheila's example is a Christmas one but I do have some non Christmas acetate for those who prefer to make a different theme.

This is my 2 in 1 card so called because you can get 2 cards out of 1 C6 card. You can make your card into any theme but I will have the stamp I have used with me (Stampin Up). We will also be using the Cuttlebug with the Nestabilities folders so if any of you own any of these please feel free to bring them along.

I'm now off to make my last project - the calender card.

For those who will be unable to make it on Sunday may I wish you on behalf of Sylvia & myself a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Don't forget our January meeting is on 31st January at our new venue Hethersett Village Hall.

An Extra Craft Day

As the original craft weekend has had to be postponed till Spring I have managed to organise a day of crafting instead.

We will be doing lots of different projects that we do not have time to do at our usual meetings. All the supplies will be provided for you as well as refreshments & biscuits.

So if you fancy having a whole day of crafting with lots of giggles & fun & a chance for you to forget about the hustle & bustle of Christmas then book your place with me.

The cost is £15 but you will get everything to make all the projects on the day (you just need to bring our basic kit).

Places are limited so don't miss out.

November Meeting

Thanks to all who attended the 2 groups this weekend. I hope you all enjoyed the projects we did especially as they were a bit different from just cardmaking, let me know if you want more of the same.

I thought it was about time the wider world got to see all your projects & not just my efforts. As most of you noticed I had my camera with me at the weekend & spent a lot of my time busily taking snaps, so here are all your wonderful creations for everyone to admire. I'm sorry I cannot put a name to all the projects but if you spot yours & want your name attached to it let me & it will be done.

Here are some of the Aylsham gang - Heather, Jean & Sylvia all hard at work.


This is Heather's lovely owl card, I love the background she has used.

This is Jean's card, I love the purple & blue combo

And last but not least is Sylvia's beautiful card, I'll let you into a secret she forgot to attach her ribbon prior to sticking her matting layers down so she improvised by cutting them into V's & attaching them with double sided tape & I think that really works.




These are some of the lovely triangular cards that were made at Bawburgh

And here are some more.



Here are some of the 3d Christmas ornaments we made at Bawburgh.


And lastly here are a couple of the lovely boxes we made.

See you all next month which is our last before Christmas & our last meeting at Bawburgh before our big move to our new location in Hethersett in January
