Hell everyone! Well its been another busy week here, I've been making simple samples for the fantastic event that is going on in Beeston this Saturday. For more info check out
 http://artworks-nottingham.co.uk/

The mini taster classes are £2.50 for a half hour session- just enough time to get inky without missing all the fun of the street party. Here is a peek of the cards you will have the choice of making one of!

Plus if you attend the taster session on Saturday 30th, during the street party, you will receive a voucher for 20% off a full future Thursday or Friday class. But,  only if  you book your place onto it on Saturday.

Hello blog friends, Well it's snowing here again (sigh)! On the plus side at least I am not out on the road and I am here being creative...so I am counting my blessings every single one of them!

Well it was the first Tuesday craft group yesterday at  www.facebook.com/pages/Decor-Home-Gift 
and it was a delight! A really lovely group of ladies,  We had a great time and got inky...and I'm looking forward to next week already.x

Here is what we made!

Ill be back later to share more sneaky peaks of up coming cards.

  Good afternoon crafty folks, Just a quick post today! Here is a sneaky peak of one of tomorrows   cards! Hope you like it!

Hi there..Well its official...I AM OLD!! why you ask?
 Well I went out for a cuppa today (with my pal Sue)- not sure where we were  heading  so just in case  of the prospect of a dodgey weak cuppa... I took a few tea bags! OMG what is happening to me!!???
Any way, we didnt need them as We went to the old schoolhouse deli and they have tea with Real tea leaves!! & proper cooked meals & cakes!

This is where I am having an extended card class on Sunday 19th May with the most amazing cakes..honestly..it's  worth coming for the refreshments that are included in the price...forget the card making..Ha Ha

So onto something crafty..here is one of next weeks cards for my lovely Friday cardmaking  group. One for the boys for a change!

 

I'm off now to play with some new papers!! Have a good week..keep warm, see you soon.

Love Alli.xx

 

 

I dont know about you, but the lack of sunshine is getting me down...  anyway, on to nice crafty things.
I was up till the early hours making a mess...I mean tidying my conservatory to fit this lovely piece of furniture in.. It ts probably best suited to the lounge, but I am never in there...im always in the conservatory even at night! so it is really the place I will see it and use it the most!

 

 

I know I am  being sad, but what can I say!?

See you soon, have a good weekend.xx Alli

 

 

 

 

See yo

 

Hi again, well the sun HAS actually come out...I could take off one of my 5 layers!!!

Ive just had delivery of this amazing piece of furniture from
www.facebook.com/pages/Decor-Home-Gift

(This is where the new cardmaking class starts in 2 weeks)Tues 19/3/13 at 10.30-12.30.

I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it, as I often do with furniture, but normally manage to resist! Not this time!
So..... I bought it with the intention to put in to  my conservatory/craft space. It does seem a shame to fill it with paper and stamps though??

Anyway here is another peek of a card we will be doing this Friday at Artworks.

The tension has gone funny on the sewing on this card... but that might be because i dropped the machine putting it back in the car!! Whoops!!

Good morning lovely blog friends, Well today we have the promise of sunshine! Im not convinced, as my fingers are freezing as I type this!
Anyway on to one of the cards for this weeks class. Not really my usual style, but I know Dorothy and Glenyis like distress inks and glimmer mists. I do too but I like to use them on bigger projects like a canvas!

Back later with more sneaky peeks. Have a good day. Alli.x

Here are some cards that we made ~ that I loved so much I have made a few more and have them for sale in a couple of local shops.


This is one of my favourite cards that I have ever made!!

 

 

The next is my other favourite!

 

They are really time consuming to make but I really do love them.... on to my next favourite, but a little easier to make! (Can I have 3 favourites?)

 

 

 

 

 

Hello again, I've just been looking at photographs on the pc again, and thought I would share some more of the photographs of a few cards we have made at the cardmaking group.

 

 

 

Apologies for the terrible photography!!

The sun has just come out in sunny Sawley so I am off to hang some washing out!!

See you soon!

Good morning blog land. Just a quickie today to share a simple yet effective card made by Julie S. on the Friday afternoon group (soon to be Thursday afternoon) in Beeston.

 

One day I will get around to blogging properly and list all of the ingredients/products needed to make these cards... but time will not allow at the moment.
If you notice inside the card, Julie used the waste greaseproof paper that we use to aid in the cutting of the butterfly die cuts (looks better than it sounds). It looks really pretty. It Really finishes this card off.  Well done Julie.
