Hero Arts Catalogue

Some of you girls might be thinking "Why on earth buy a Hero Arts catalogue" Well as you know I love Hero Art stamps and their designs. Hero Art catalogues are full of inspiring card designs for you to follow or take ideas from as you please. I have just made two of their design cards from the 2009 book.

This is why its a good idea to buy a catalogue.....

Christmas stall today at last !!

Well at last the day had arrived for my stall at "Hearing Dogs For The Deaf" Christmas bazzar. Everyone at AMOM must have been fed up with seeing the stuff I have been making !! A great day it was with friends Carolyn, Ann, Carol and Jan popping in to see me and supporting hearing dogs. I had a slow start and then everything took off and I sold out of alot of items making £207 profit this year !! FAB !! If your a dog lover, then this is a day for you.

Here is my stall at the start and end of the day. It looks a bit cluttered as I had a job fitting everything in, but a bit empty at the end of the day. Its my friend Val in the last photo who came along to enjoy the day and help me.










Not much left at the end of the day !!

Card club

This months card club was another fab christmas card with lots of possibilties for variations. The first two were made in class and the last one made with bits I had left over as usual.

Me blowing and laughing !!

This is the photo Christina took of me blowing my tree (more like a bush !!)There must be an art to this cause mine dosen`t look like Lindsays....As I said to Christina, good thing I haven`t got a bald spot !!

Fab Day !!

Last Saturday was FAB !! Lindsay Mason bombarded us with so many inspiring ideas and demos it was hard to keep up and I couldn`t wait to have a play !! The "Make and Take" fairy card was lovely and everyone the ladies made was different. The day was hectic with all the ladies coming and going doing the make and takes and just watching Lindsay working.A joy to watch....

Lindsay about to start a demo.




Lindsay beautiful owl card.




This first card is the fairy "Make and Take" card we did with Lindsay using inks and then the others are cards I made later. The snowman card is very clever...you just use distessed inks to make a background and the use plain old water to paint in the snowman and tress and moon to lift out the colour !!















This is Lindsay blowing a blob of ink to make her tree for the lovely owl card. You`ll see a lovely one of me doing the same for my card below on The Maze of Memories website. The first card is my attempt of the tree and owl and the second one was an example Lindsay did to show how to do the tree and I finished it off with a background and owl.
