CreateAbles Team Morning

Hi everyone,
We had our CreateAbles team morning this morning, which was fun. As there was only 3 ladies they all ended up with a raffle prize :)

Val taught us how to make this really cute little
Handbag/box, thanks so much Val, I'll have to have
a go at it! (we all took notes!)





























I showed a spot of "how to use Project Life's Photo organising system", as I said to the ladies, I really don't get on well with Scrapbooking, as I find it uses more time than I have available, to do 3 photos, and nobody really admires it to the full extent of the amount of work I've put into it (if you get my drift!), so this I can do quickly/easily and at the very least my kids admire it! I plan to finish off this one and create one for my parents (as I'm terrible at remembering to send them photos) and once I've got one sorted the 2nd will be a synch!
So here's a couple of my pages, Josh's 11th Birthday (son #2) and Sam (#3) peeling carrots, shows you how easy it is to take your 4x6 photo and cut it in 1/2 or in 6th's to fit into the pockets😊

 Lastly we created our Make'n'Takes, I'd seen a really cute card using the chickens and a chicken wire stamp, however lacking the chicken wire stamp, I worked out a different way using the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing folder . And me being me, actually the card ended up completely different! it was fun to do a bit of watercolouring.

When my phone decides it has enough charge to video again, I'll aim to do a video for the chicken card, so you can see how's it's created.
If you'd like to be part of my team, and have the opportunity to come to my Team meetings and do this "in the flesh" just ask me about it, or check out the tab above, about joining my team.  Sale-a-Bration goes till end of March and during this time when you join you get 2 extra free stamp sets on top of the already amazing joining deal!  Trust me 20% off your goodies, is sooo worth it - lol!

Anyway I hope this has inspired you to create,
God Bless love

Creations for classes in January 2017

Hi Everyone,
I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and that 2017 will turn out to be an amazing year for you 😊

I have worked out my January class class projects (dates for classes are: Saturday 7th January 10am, and Wednesday 11th January 7.30pm which is what I'll be showing you in this blog
First up we have:

I couldn't resist using this new "Beautiful You" stamp set, I've also used the new Watercolour pencils to colour her in, and cut out with the Flower Medallion punch, the background paper is

 Serene Scenery.

As the background papers are all different, I thought I'd do another one to show you too:

I've done a close up of the writing to show you too as it's not so obvious in this photo, as the area I wanted to put the writing on is quite dark, I've added a layer of white first, but you do have to let it dry properly or it will fade away!

So the next card again uses a new set, that I've done a blog post on before feel free to check it out here:  Bookcase Builder Stamp set blog post

I said it last time and I'll say it again, I just love the sayings in this set! and I really think it makes a great baby card, I even think this card would look cute in a scrapbook album!

So onwards - next card uses, Oh look at that, again some new stuff! (huh who would have thought!)

Alright so this card uses the "So in Love Bundle" one of the pretty Thinlit dies, and one of the sayings from the set, the sayings can be interchanged, I just thought it's been a long time since I did a Happy Anniversary card!  Underneath you'll see the embossed piece - that's done with the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing folder (and Smoky Slate cardstock) - it's pretty cool!  Add a bit of the sequin trim (I've used the Blushing Bride colour to match the cardstock)  Love the way Stampin' Up! colour codes everything so it matches!
Onto the last card, and this time I chose not to use a new stamp set, but a continuing one from the Holiday Catalogue:

Paisleys and Posies, I haven't used this set much in the lead up to Christmas so I was quite relieved when it was continued!  Until the 3rd January you can actually buy the stamp set and the dies as a bundle, Paisleys and Posies bundle so if you're interested in them get in quick, or you'll be paying 10% more :(  I've also made up this board to show you what the dies will cut out.

the little tiny tear drops fit into the little stemmed flower next to it.

If you're free on either of the above dates, do come along to one of the classes, if you're not free but interested in instructions (or a kit, although bear in mind that I can't do the stamping for you), do let me know.

I hope this has inspired you to create (and check out the new Occasions Catalogue) if you don't have one let me know and I can get one to you 😁

God Bless love
