Well I have spent 3 hours this morning making samples for future classes and only made ONE card so far...its a good job I'm  not working in a factory on piece work... I kept taking it apart and even threw one away! I cant help it...its got to be right for me!
I am using the new Jane nesterenko  stamps & copic markers.

 
 
Ahh cute.x
See you soon.Alli

Hello again, I've just remembered that I wanted to share some photographs of some cards made by:  Jennie, Jenny and Glenys. They were  made last Friday...at the Artworks card making class... I am always amazed at what beautiful cards they make...truly talented ladies!! x

We used websters pages paper and Claudine helmuth stamps and paints...great results!





 

 

I'm off to make another card sample before bed...goodnight.

Hello everyone, well I've had a brilliant few days, here is a clue to what I have been doing....

 
More details to follow soon about classes at Artworks http://artworks-nottingham.co.uk/  to make these AMAZING sculptures!
Also... here are the cards we made at  the Tuesday card making group at décor home & gift https://www.facebook.com/pages/Decor-Home-Gift/135059566540944
 
 
 
Here is a sneak peak of what we will be making this Friday at the Friday Artworks group....
These cards are really not my usual style...hardly any layers or fancy paper in sight...just good old fashioned stamping (and copic markers)! I absolutely LOVE these stamps!! And I love these cards (they've got the colour orange on them too)!!
What ever next?
 


 
I am like a bus aren't I ...... NO I don't mean I look like one!! ...though I know I am getting a bit podgey...no I mean I don't blog for a week , and then when I do I cant stop...ah well- such is life!!
see you soon. Alli x

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been  blogging. I seem to have really busy, but I couldn't  really say doing what?!  Time just seems to disappear! 


Here is a peek a this Fridays card, I will be using different papers to these,  but they  are just as delicious!!



I hope you feel like sewing this week (mentioning no names, and using paint believe it or not (sorry Jennie)  (I am laughing wickedly here)!!

Here is one for next week while I am here. Again we will be using different papers to these but they are yummy. No paint or messiness involved in this one, Just Lush papers!

Off now to take some photographs of cards and hearts  I have made, to list on etsy.com whilst the sun is still shining.
See you soon. xx Alli

Hello my lovelies, Happy summer  time???!!!
How are you all? Well didn't we have some lovely sunshine today!! I hope you got some sun where you are.. What  a contrast form Saturday when we visited Buxton- the snow was actually over the top and covering the stone walls- We saw the pub that had been on the news, it actually was buried in snow, and cars were buried outside it too... what a lock - in that would have been!!
 I didn't get any photographs but it was like we were in a different country!
Considering I hate the cold and snow it was beautiful.
We  stayed in an amazing guesthouse  called Roseleigh Guesthouse a beautiful Victorian house.... I didn't want to leave.
Anyway, onto some cards I have made this week- not for the classes, but to sell. Well having said that..I've put most of them in my cupboard because I  want to keep them! Doh.. I will  never make a
Business woman!!





I can make more of the typewriter one as I have some of the papers, but the papers below are  websters pages and no longer available! sob sob!!

















The  photography is a bit dodgy as it was night time when I took the photographs.

What do you think??

Ill be back soon to show cards that we will be doing for the classes later  this week.
