Last Class and New Year Sneak Peaks

Last night was my last cards class for 2011 at Scrappy Hollow.  It has been an very busy year for me but looking back I have really enjoyed teaching these classes and meeting the lovely ladies who come along.  Can't wait to keep cardmaking in 2011 - guess you can say I am totally addicted!!!!

 

Thank you to all the ladies who came along to our end of year "thank you" class.  We made a gorgeous covered diary, corner bookmark and a tag.  We then packaged it all in a lovely organza bag - a perfect gift for teachers, friends or a special family member. 

My first class for 2012 was also previewed. 

I will start my Card classes again for 2012 on Wednesday 15th February (10am-12noon) and Thursday 16th February (7pm - 9pm).  In the first class back we will be using the fun and summer inspired Basic Grey Piccadilly range and some new die-namics dies to create 2 cute cards and an accordion style storage box with dividers.  Samples are on display in the store and there are limited places still available.  Here is a sneak peak of the class projects - they make the perfect gift or will just simply get your cards organised for the new year. 

Something for Kate!

Great name for a band - LOL! But seriously my friend and former teaching colleague had a gorgeous baby boy earlier this year and I did not share the card I created for her.  Inspired by the very talented Beatriz Jennings  I am totally loving her digital downloads of vintage and shabby chic images.

Christmas with St Nick

This week at Scrappy Hollow I taught a funfilled and very bust card class featuring the Fancy Pants St Nick range of papers.  We teamed them up with Kaiser Pearls, MFT die-namics, ribbon and ofcourse some distressing and inking.  Here are some photos of what we created:

Next month will be our funfilled Christmas break up and I am happy to say both classes are full already!  Looking forward to catching up with all my card makers before Christmas.  Thanks for stopping by!

November Shabby Chic

Last week was the last week of my Shabby Chic Classes for 2011.  Here are some pics of the layout we created.  Thank you to everyone who came.  I really enjoy teaching the classes and inspiring you all.

Wedded Bliss!

Hello!  I just had a look at the date of my last post and was horrified a how long it has been since I posted.  Boy time is flying by and things are so busy busy busy.  I am planning to post a few things (Prima samples, November Shabby Chic, Scrappy Hollow class news etc etc) over the next couple of days so stay tuned.  For today I wanted to share a card and matching gift box I made for our friends for their wedding.  Congrats to Jac and Fab!

For the gift box and card I used the classically stunning Kaiser After Five Collection of papers and teamed them up with my MFT die-namics dies and Green Tara flowers.  The lettering was from Twiddleybitz and then I used seam binding, twine and some heart charms to finish off.

Thanks for dropping by!

Christmas with Kaiser

My  October cards class at Scrappy Hollow featured the 2011 Kaiser Christmas papers and some of the die-namics by MFT that we now stock.  Here is what we created.  Thank you to all the ladies who attended. I am still struggling with the fact that we need to be in Christmas mode!  Where has the year gone???????

Precious Moments

Classes ran again at Scrappy Hollow this week and Scrappy Hollow has launched its new blog so check it out.  Here is what we created in class this month.  The papers were from the Kaiser Miss Nellie range and the dies were the MFT Die-namics.  Thanks for coming ladies!

Spring Inspired!

Last week was busy at Scrappy Hollow with our September cards class running on Wednesday and Thursday.  These spring inspired cards featured the MFT Die-namics dies (my fav's).  The papers we used were Echo Park Daisy Field, MME Lime Twist Life of the Party Be You and AC Dear Lizzy Enchanted Gracious Hare.

Next month we are making Christmas cards so stay tuned on facebook for sneak peaks at Scrappy Hollows group page - can you beleive it's Christmas card making time already????
