Here’s what we made in our last class, we had such a giggle as even “The Teacher” couldn’t get her needle the right way round in the beginning all was well in the end though mostly thanks to Sam the “sewer in the team

These are the projects we made in my July Craft day Class

As you can see the Ladies did a great job we had such a laugh especially threading the beads/ribbon the right way to twist the spiral ornament but they turned out amazing (so thanks go to Crafty Caroline,Maymay made it and Tuppence coloured for the inspiration for these projects)

If any one would like to join me at some paper craft classes just drop me an email or fill in the comments on here and I’ll happily have a chat to you about your requirements, we have great fun in class its always relaxed and you don’t need any experience all levels are catered for

Hi Everyone,

This last weekend my Team and I took part in an amazing challenge set us by Stampin’ Up! UK it was called ‘Birthday Wishes Challenge’ Stampin’ Up! have been in the UK for 10 years this year and the charity they support is The Ronald McDonald charity, so they challenged all the Uk Independent Demonstrators to try and make 10000 cards this will take place in two events this weekend it was to make as many birthday cards as possible, and then the next one will be held 1st-3rd December 9 (Our event will be held on Saturday 2nd December) and that one will be to make as many Christmas cards as possible and by the end of that weekend the total cards should be 10000 if we hit the target!!! which of course we will  

The total number of cards we made was 128 😉

I would like to thank my Team Sam Jeffries and Nicky Keylock for all their help before and during the event also our lovely friend Lorraine who worked so hard one the day and before, we  also had 6 extra volunteers who were amazing two of of which had never stamped or made any cards before see photos  below of our amazing day

The end of a Long but Amazing day :-)

As you can see great fun was had by all, so anyone wishing to join us for our Christmas Event on Saturday 2nd December keep an eye out for the posters nearer the time

Hi all do you fancy being part of an amazing opportunity? Stampin’Up! UK are doing a wonderful Card challenge for the Ronald McDonald House Charities which they support and I would love you to join me to help them succeed in making 10,000 cards in a day!

As you can see above my Team and I have taken on the challenge from Stampin up to make as many cards as we can to add to the total.

We are doing our challenge on Saturday 24th JUNE we have a range of easy cards for everyone to make so you really don’t have to be a crafter to come and help us out, if you know anyone that could come along with you to help us please let us know we will be very grateful for all the help we can get.

We will be starting the challenge at 9am and finishing at approx 4pm, we will split the day up into hourly slots so if you only can come for an hour that’s absolutely fine but if you want to stay longer that’s great all that I ask is please can you book in as we can only seat 15 crafters at any one time although we do have a breakout area with sofas in if you need to wait a few minutes, Refreshments will be available.

The cost for this charity challenge will be £5.00 if you bring a friend that will reduce to £4.00 this money is towards the cost of the event it’s NOT being run as a profit making event if there is money over after all the costs have been covered it will go directly to The Ronald McDonald charity.

So the challenge is on we would love to see you all to help us make a difference see below some of the cards we will be making

Samples of some of the cards we will be making :-)

Give me a shout out if you can help us please, Sam, Nicky and I will be very grateful as will Stampin’ Up! UK and of course the Ronald McDonald charity

Had a great crafting day with the Ladies yesterday that’s my final class before our Holiday to Scotland, my Hubby is a mad cyclist and he has a race in Ayrshire next weekend. Update I didn’t end up having time to upload this blog before our Holiday so now we are back already 😂😂, we had amazing weather everyday except the morning of my Hubbys race so unfortunately it didn’t go as well as he had hoped but he came home safely which is all that matters to us his family 🚴☔️ 💨 😀

The class was smaller this week as some of the regulars were away, so I did things slightly differently, instead of making all the kits up ready for the Ladies. So the ‘Vanity case’ project I wanted them to be able to choose their own colour ways so we started from scratch, chose the card stock, DSP and then I showed them step by step how to Cut the card stock and the DSP and then how to put it all together, it did take longer but the results were amazing  😉 So this week we only made 2 projects but I think the Ladies did an amazing job of both of them.

I would at this point like to thank (annshappystampers) for the inspiration for the Vanity case, (Pootlespapercraft Sam Donald) for the inspiration for the non glue box and Crafty Caroline for the inspiration for the Ladies gift boxes 😀:-)

The gift boxes/ gifts I made for the Ladies that attended this craft day 😀

We have so much fun in our classes and they are very relaxed.

I currently have a couple of spaces available in these classes and would also be happy to add other classes especially if any of you are completely new to crafting and think ‘You could Never make anything’ as you are not crafty at all, you would be very surprised how many people come to class and say exactly that but go home so happy with something they have actually made themselves 😀so if anyone would like to join in the fun just follow the link and book yourself in, or drop me a comment on here and I’ll get back to you.

I would love to craft, eat biscuits/cake and drink tea/coffee with you. 😀✂️
