Bentley Hotel Craft Event

We made this card at my craft club a few weeks ago, well one in different colours and I decided to have another go, but to make it as a card for the boys using the fabulous stamp set from the Stampin' Up! mini Plane and Simple.  I'm not sure what type of card you call it, but for want of a better name I'll call it a zig zag card.  To create the aged look I used my Distressing Essentials kit, but also a little bit of lemon juice.  If you 'flick' droplets onto your project and let them dry first, you can create this stained effect when you heat it with your heat gun.   I've also included itty bitty clear buttons which leads me nicely on to tell you about our craft event at The Bentley Hotel on Saturday 15 October at 2pm.  We'll be making projects that would work really well for men and ladies, but we'll also be using these fab little buttons to great effect.

 The early bird booking price is £15 if booked and paid for by Mon 26 September and thereafter it's £17.50.  Your ticket price includes materials for the projects, a la carte stamp, door prize entry and a fun afternoon spent with like minded people.  To book your place please email me or call 01507 525885

Remember that this stamp set is only available until the end of the month as are the Newsprint papers used here. 
Back soon. Zx

Success at the Weekend!

I forgot to share this card with you which I made for my Dad for, you guessed it, Father's Day.  I virtually cased it from the mini catalogue using the Plane and Simple stamp set.  I used different colours in the form of not quite navy, crumb cake, cajun craze and old olive.  My Dad really liked it I'm pleased to say and it reafirms what I tell all my lovely customers that copying is good and you don't have to be creative genius to make super cards!

I'm also pleased to say that our running around at the weekend proved to be very successful.  On the way to the Beavers Connect 4 competition we did the "It's all about the taking part and having fun" talk.  However on this occasion it wasn't necessary as Charlie is now the Sleaford District Beaver Connect 4 Champion.  Needless to say he's very pleased with himself and is glad that he played Mummy several times before he went.  I'd like to say that my weary state helped him, but he wiped the floor with me!

Also my Olivia and her Dad had a great day on No 2 Court at Wimbledon on Saturday.  They saw some great play including Maria Sharapova.

That's all for now folks! Check back soon for more.............
