Scrappy Hollow Classes for February and March

I have had a fun filled and very busy week at Scrappy Hollow as my 2014 classes started back this week.

It was so nice to welcome back some of the ladies who have been coming to classes for a few years now and to also meet and welcome some new ladies to the classes and the world of card making.

Here is what we made in our February class:

 

The cards were inspired by love as February is the month of love.  We used some of MFT's dies to create the elements on the card - MFT Stitched Heart, Dainty Bows, Peek-a-boo Trio, Fluttering Hearts, Insta Frame and the border from Blueprints 6.  The Papers were from Crate Paper - Maggie Holmes Flea Market.

 

Next month we are playing with Kaisercrafts Confetti and of course some more dies.  This time our theme will be Feathers and Chevrons and we will make feathers from washi tape, paper and dies.  Play with different ways of using chevrons and may even sneak in some distressing.  I am so overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude as my classes are quickly filling up this year and I am proud to say March is completely sold out!!  Thank you for your support everyone!!

 

Here is a sneak peek of what we will be making in March.  I have samples on display in the store.

June & July Classes at Scrappy Hollow

Thank you to everyone who came to my classes this week. It was so lovely to see everyone again and to watch you make this months cards.  I love teaching and thank you all for supporting me by attending class.  Here is what we made!

 

These cards were designed with the little girl/young teen in mind.

 

For the first card we created a mini pinwheel and a ledge styled fold to attach the pinwheel to the card.

 

This second card had lots of layering and the blue label piece opened on the front of the card so you could add a sentiment.

 

After working frantically on the first two cards the little gift pocket and last card came together quite quickly.

 

 

 

The papers were My Minds Eye - My Girl and we used the 6x6 paper pad for the projects.  Teaming this paper up with seam binding and ivory card stock made sure all the colours came to life.

February Cards Class at Scrappy Hollow

Thank you to all the ladies who attended my first cards class for 2013 at Scrappy Hollow last week.  It was great to welcome back the familiar faces from 2012 and to meet some new ladies.  Here is what we made with the Kaisercraft Periwinkle collection.

As was the case in 2012 my classes are booking up quickly for 2013.  My March class is already fully booked. Thank you all so much for supporting me - I am feeling very honoured that you keep coming to class and some of you have booked in for the remainder of the year which is AMAZING!!!! Thank you!!!!! It is so rewarding and a lot of fun teaching class and watching you create beautiful cards you are proud of.

 

For those who are booked in to the March class you will be creating some  "all occassion" cards using the MME Lost & Found 3 Oliver range. There are both male and female designs and can be personalised once you decide who will be the recipient and why you are giving it to them. The special fold for the class will be a centre step card. The samples are on display in the store and here is a sneak peak.

June 2012 - The Shabby Team Room Terrific Top Three Winner/Terrific Top 2 at iSpy

This was both a sad and happy month in my life.  Sad because my dear father passed away.  He was the rock of our family, my guiding light and I miss him terribly.  Happy because I was made a Top # winner over at The Shabby Tea Room and I made the Terrific Top 2 at iSpy.  Here is the card

Cards Classes at Scrappy Hollow

Well it's Friday and it's been a really busy week for me at Scrappy Hollow this week.  My last cards class ran for 2012 last night.  I am so lucky to work in the store and have the opportunity to teach classes - being employed to do something you are passionate about and love is awesome!

As a thank you to all the ladies who regularly attend classes and support us at Scrappy Hollow we made this very cute hand punched and pieced Christmas Tree.

For this project we used a wooden spool which was topped with a foam cone.  Hand punched Marvy six petal flowers of varying sized were cut, scrunched and attached to the cone.  We then finished off the tree with some Kaisercraft pearls, a hand pieced star and some seam binding tied in a bow.

Merry Christmas and another huge THANK YOU to everyone who has attended my 2012 classes.  I am looking forward to 2013 and teaching classes at Scrappy Hollow again.
