Cute little Valentine card

When I stayed at Chrissie's I made a couple of things that used up some of our scraps and this little Valentine card was one of them. It is on full view with details over at the Country View Crafts Updates blog.

Have a great weekend and hopefully some creative time for yourself.

Valentine Bunting for CVC

Today I am sharing some bunting over at Country View Crafts Updates, I made this for my conservatory. We had a Murder Mystery Party last Saturday night (postponed from New Years Eve because of illness) and I re-themed it around Valentine, so I needed some decorations, what better than to use some of my supplies and make some myself.

I designed two pennants and made 6 of each. (Details over at CVC)

This is what they looked like once I had put all the elements together and strung them up.

.Here you can see the whole piece finished and in place.

Have fun making your own Valentine projects and I will see you again on Friday with a simple little Valentine card.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Vintage Tag Journal Workshop

I thought I would record and document the tag journal workshop I taught at Flitwick in Bedfordshire on Thursday 23rd January, it was the most amazing day, I really loved every minute of it.

We had 11 lovely ladies who had travelled from as far as Lincolnshire and Surrey as well as surrounding villages and towns in Bedfordshire.

If you would like to look through all the photos here you might like to grab a cuppa as this is very photo heavy

Our fabulous participants

In the background is Jane and Alex and on the right Lyn and Dinah.

L to R is Cassie, Gill, Lorna, Sheila and Heather.

The journals evolve as the day moves on and what great choices the ladies made with their colour combinations.

Many of them brought their own photos to use so that they finished with a tag book that was personalised and full of their family memories.

Jane took some photos and has given me permission to use them - thanks Jane

 Yours truly demoing

HIghlightinmg the techniques and layouts....

 

... and generally being available to help and support.

The venue was perfect, it was light, airy and warm and there was a kitchen close by where we could make refreshments all day.

Here Marilyn and Susan were making a cup of tea and you can see plenty of goodies to keep our energy levels up during the day.

I hope you’ve enjoyed  my gallery of workshop photos. I am now working on the next project we will do as this lovely group want me to come back again. So now we are looking at the beginning of March I think for the next one. Thank you ladies I am so looking forward to coming back to Flitwick.
