Lost week

Well almost a lost week, where did it go? I don't seem to have been at home much this past week with one thing and another. Crufts was good, not my favourite show as it is mainly trade stands and so crowded you can hardly get around to see the dogs. Best of Breed in Cairns went to Alison, a friend of mine who helps me trim my dogs (well she trims and I hold them). She handles Holly for someone else and really gets the best out of her, Holly is absolutely beautiful and a great little showgirl. Here is a of picture of them.

Both looking very pleased with themsleves, as they should.

The rest of the week has just flown by, Jo did the classes on Wed. and here are the lovely cards we made.

This one uses the Hopeful Thoughts stamp set, Whisper White and Pink Pirouhette CS. Rich Razzleberry Ink and Ribbon plus a little CS for the punched flowers, which have gems in the centre. The Border punch is a Martha Stewart one.

The second is my favourite it uses a textured CS for the base card which we cut with nesties but only half way across the centre front then cut the same scalloped circle in the DSP (which has a smittering of glitter on the flowers which you can't see here) placed this on top of the base and cut the centre circle from both, making a frame for the floral stamp which is set on a lace doiley, you can just see it peeping out behind the circle, then this onto more DSP, which matches the border on the LHS, and finally onto the inside back of the base card. We then attached the sentiment and added card candy to match the ribbon.

The last one uses So Saffron CS for the Scallop Flower and panel backings, an ivory textured CS for the base card, sentiment, and border. The fabric flowers were a bright yellow so we toned them down with Pro Markers and added the large brown brad to the centre. I don't know what the stamp is called. but the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes set.

Three lovely cards which we all enjoyed making.

Tomorrow I'm off to Helen's Training day followed by a workshop, then on Sunday three of us are going up the Northern Papercrafts Show in Harrogate. I'm really looking forward to both days out.

So there will be no posts for 2 days (not unusual I can hear you saying) I will try to get the cards up that we make at the workshop asap.

Thanks for looking in, back soon, I hope.
