Folksy shoppee

Finally got around to doing a wee shop on Folksy, although I severely underestimated the time required to upload stuff so it looks a bit bare at the mo!

Have started out with some dinky Scrabble Tile pendants like the one on the left.

It can be found here and is called Bella Carta.

My first Bubbly Funk class - how exciting!!!

I am absolutely delighted to have been invited to teach classes at Bubbly Funk in the newly opened store in Worcester town centre. My first class is going to be a maze book (if you've never made one of these you must come along, they are dinky and cute and so addictive!). My design is pictured above but there will be scope in the class to give it your own twist if you wish. There will be two options to give the class a wide appeal - you can either make a little gift book filled with quotes or you can make a mini scrapbook album using photos.

There are more details on the Bubbly Funk website and tickets are on sale now. The class is on Sat 26th February - I am so looking forward to it!

I've also got two more classes lined up - one with a Mother's Day theme (think lovely handmade flowers) on 26th March and then an all day Distress Inks Masterclass packed with techniques on 9th April. Watch the Bubbly Funk website for more details.
Ooooohhh, exciting!!!

More Simply Create Glitz!

A couple more Simply Create DT items today, using the Glitz Designs kit again. Firstly some vintage-style tags using the Scarlett stamp. The tags are stamped on the background with a Glitz distressing stamp, both use the frame stamp - on the left I coloured the central panel and added it on 3D foam and on the right filled the frame with flowers. The gems are actually plain Papermania ones I've coloured with Krylon (oh how I love my Krylon pen!).

Secondly I used a wooden crown that was in the kit to make this simple card. The crown is covered in UTEE with glitter sprinked into it and although the camera doesn't capture it that well, it is super shiny and blingy!

That's it for this month's kit - hope you like my makes :)

Simply Create DT - Glitz Designs kit

Finally got cracking on my Simply Create kit that I am ashamed to say came well before Christmas... All the bits and bobs are Glitz Designs (apart from the title) - when I saw the faux book page embellishment I knew what I had to scrap!

The background cardstock is inked with Distress Inks and stamped with one of the images from the Glitz Designs Distressing set. I had cut and doodled the hearts and there isn't much else to it. I wasn't sure about this kit at first but have grown to love it :). More creations tomorrow.

Bye for now x

Return of the mojo???


Has the mojo come back??? I've literally not been in the craft room since I last posted in November until yesterday. My LO is for a UK Scrappers challenge and is based on a sketch by Karen AKA Scrapdolly (see UKS homepage for details).

A few thank you messages: to MJ for the spotty brad, and to Claire for the button and word stickers used in the journaling which were in my Christmas parcel :).
I have also sadly left the Gingersnaps DT recently - too much life getting in the way of crafting. Sad to leave but enjoyed my time with them lots.
Lots of stuff to share - shall attempt to post semi frequently in 2011!
Thanks for popping by.
