Look at what my ladies made in card class this week

I just had to show you what my lovely ladies made with me this week in card class. I call them my "naughty" group!!!!. They are always causing me trouble!!!!!! Seriously though they are a lovely group of ladies and we have a lot of fun on Tuesday afternoons.

Here are some of their projects

 Nicky made 2 gift sets

 Karen made this elegant lady card

 Lesley made this stunning card

 Jane made this gorgeous lady in blue card

 Mary made this beautiful card

Josie ( who only stated Tuesday) made this wonderful country style card

I feel like a proud mum when I see the cards my ladies have made.

I hope you have  liked looking at them too

What did I use?

Here is another sample I made for the NEC

• I embossed and distressed inked a piece of card stock.
• Die cut, distress inked and stamped the music score ( from Papermania Urban Stamps) on the leaves.
• Die cut and distress inked the flower with X Cut dies

Any ideas what I cut the flower from?

I will showcase here the blog of whoever guesses correctly

P.S. I am having a craft clearout so will be putting up quite a bit of candy  when I get to 300 followers

Distressed butterflies

Here is one the samples I made for the NEC
I die cut a butterfly and stamped it with the new Papermania Urban stamps along with TH Distress Inks. I was very pleased with how popular these samples were.

 must "fly"!!!!!

2 versions of Fizzy Moon

Good morning

I am looking forward to this afternoon as I have Michael's niece coming over. She is only 4. We are having a "making" afternoon, cakes, jewellery and cards!!!!!!!! So we will have lots of fun. I will post pics of what we make.

Above are 2 cards I made using the Fizzy Moon stamp. The first one was coloured with Copics and the second with Flex and Promarkers. I also used a selection of Nesties, Cheery Lyn and Die - Namic dies.

Thank you for your visits

You wont believe this!!!!!.....

We had a great time at the NEC. I was demoing TH Distress Inks and the new Papermania Urban stamps. It was so busy that you wont believe.............I never left the stand at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you know what that means. I never bought a thing!!!!!! The first show ever where I haven't spent anything.

At least I will get to see what my lovely ladies bought.....................and then feel totally jealous!

Here I am ( with all my chins!!!!!) with Lyndsey who is also on Totally Gorjuss DT team.

Totally Gorjuss sketch.

Hi everyone

By the time you see this post I will be safely tucked behind my demo table at the NEC. I am demoing the new Papermania Urban stamps ( like Tim Holtz stamps but a lot cheaper!) along with Distress Inks.

Glad to say they are selling really well. I made 16 samples on Monday and I will post pics of them in the next few days.  

At Totally Gorjuss this week we have a sketch for you to follow.. The sponsor is Joanna Sheen

We look forward to seeing your cards and projects
