Christmas card...

I've made my Christmas cards for this year - a one layer design with lots of sparkle! I can't believe I've managed to stick to one layer!


The main image is Crafty Individuals CI-332 with Autumn Leaves flourishes and a tiny background text from Prima.
Just got to write and send them now!

Thanks for looking!

Craft Barn Vintage Heaven class...

Well, this was yesterday up at the Craft Barn in Lingfield and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, so I hope everyone there enjoyed what I did!
Haven't really taught many classes before, so I just went along and did my thing!
The ladies were lovely and I was really pleased that they all did different variations of the basic project, choosing combinations of colours that they liked and mixing and matching the various stamps and embellishments etc.
Here are pics of the works in progress about halfway through (in no particular order):

I haven't put names to them as I know I'll get in a muddle!
We were using Crafty Individual stamps, Tando Creative chipboard and tissue paper with Distress inkpads and stains - all available from the Craft Barn.

Thanks for looking and thanks for making my first class such fun!

PS The Craft Barn's got some fab new charm embellishments - fantastic range and well priced.
