Father's Day Class

Good morning to you today,

I want to share with you today the project we will be making at  this months 'Father's Day' class next week, I still have a few spaces left on Tuesday or Saturday of you would like to join us, the cost is just £10 with all supplies included (except photos) or FREE with a spend of £35! contact me on sarah-janerae@sky.com to reserve your place.

So we will be making this brilliant Brag Book which my lovely downline Anna showed to me how to make, using just one sheet of 12x12, when she came and visited with me a while back, thanks Anna, this is such a great project xx I have also made a very basic card to go with this book.

As you can see I chose Basic Grey DSP for my book but you will be able to choose from the Neutrals paper pack to make your brag book with of course co-ordinating satin ribbon,

When you come to this class you will need to bring between 10-14 pictures, each around 6cm square but no larger than 7cm square, they will all fit onto one A4 sheet for printing, again, message me if you need more help with this :-)

Here are my pages, I decided to print my pics in Sepia using Real Red accents with the star stamp from  Itty Bitty Bits and punch,

and we will package them both in a Medium cello bag,

I hope you will be able to join us this month and as always you will receive as much or as little help as you need to re-create this project,

Lily's Mojo Card

Hello there,

A little later than planned today as I had to finish this, I had it half done for a couple of days and to be honest I am still not sure if I like it as it is? hmm, well, here I am sharing it with you today but I might still change it up a little?? I'll let you know...

Anyway, I loved this weeks Mojo Sketch and I knew I wanted to use the Subtles DSP stack, so that was a good start eh? ;-)

I made the rosette from a strip of DSP which was 12"x1" and scored it at 1/2 cm intervals, nice mix of metric and imperial for you there ;-)

I sprayed just the rosette with shimmer paint mixed with alcohol to create a pearly wash, Subtles buttons top the circles which were stamped with Dot, Dot, Dot using versamark, bow tied with Seam Binding in Baja Breeze, LOVE this colour!

 Inside I added a little detail too with the sentiment in here from Crazy for Cupcakes cut with Modern Label Punch,

Well, do let me know what you think,

I am off to work in a mo to do training, really looking forward to that (not!)
Have a lovely day in the sun,

Happy Anniversary

Hello there,

So did you get snow this morning?? We had a little flurry which bought a smile to our faces but that was all thank goodness ;-)

O.K. onto today's card. I have an Anniversary card today, made it using Love You Much in Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake.

Lovely In Colour DSP flower made with the Boho Blossoms Punch and a gem brad through the centre,

I paper pieced the birds which you may have noticed is my favourite thing to do with these little ones? sentiment is from Cheer and Wishes and punched with the Modern Label Punch,

I stamped the background of the front and once inside with the large heart using Versamark and another little flower inside to finish it off,

and a little arty angle to finish,

So that's todays card, I have a long list of jobs to be getting on with today so I am going to have to dash off, back tomorrow :-D

Harry S's Birthday and an update

Hello this morning,

How's ya doin'? I have a class tomorrow morning so better get this posted now so I can tidy around first thing ;-)

Today's card is the other Harry's card I mentioned the other day, this one uses the excellent papers Celebrations, they are sooo great for boys cards and as so many of us struggle with those then that can only be a good thing, these truly make it easy.

So, back to this card then,

I made a banner with Harry's name on it, Shelli showed us this idea at convention using the Modern Label Punch and I used the Just Perfect Alpha wrapped it around Silver Cord and sprayed it with Shimmer Paint spray,

Here I cut out the arrows and layered them on black card and cut them out again to point to number 6 (I like to add their age as I didn't once for Zack and that's all he kept saying all his birthday, won't make that mistake again!!)

finally a bad picture of the inside ;-)

And before I sign off I would just like to mention that the Satin Ribbons AND In Colour Ribbons are all here and cut up ready to go, email me if you would like to purchase some, most details at the top of my blog.

Thanks for looking today and I promise now I have finished most of the painting at home to try to be a better blog visitor to you all xx,

Hugs,
