Christmas Flowers for Allsorts.

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and Mervi has picked a theme of

Christmas Flowers

I think this card looks quite opulent with the gold Mirri.

the Border die is from Crafters Companion I think.

I hid the join with some lovely sentiment ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

I used Johns Poinsettia dies and stamps from last year and added a lovely gold centre to each one.

                                       The Paperbox £15 store voucher is the prize on offer this week.

My Groovi Club

Good Morning All

As some of you know I have been running a Groovi workshop at my local craft shop.

It is going very well indeed and the nice thing is, quite afew of the ladies are totally knew to parchment craft.

Here is a pic of some of the group .

On Tuesday last week we were making Christmas cards.

Here are some very quick samples I made to show them.

This one was to show them that you can use all your small pieces of parchment.

I added JND Ivy leaf die and Poinsettias

And this is one that one of the ladies,  Linda made.

They are all doing very well and I had a knew lady last week too so now I have nine.
Two new ones due next week too.

Great news.

I added word ribbon to the tag.

Make your own Flowers for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Helene is hosting Allsorts Challenge and her theme is 

Make Your Own Flowers.

I have made two creations for this one.

I started a one stroke painting class at my local craft shop back in October.

This was made in the 1st class as the teacher always like to have  us make something to take home.

I have always admired this style of painting so when the craft shop announced the classes I signed up straight away.

The teacher was taught by Donna Dewbury in USA and she makes it look very easy, haha.

This is one of my first practice sheets

So I was quite happy with how this turned out.
************
My second one is some more tags.
I cut some Poinsettias from coloured parchment and then just added bits from my Christmas box.
I used some lovely fluffy thick wool for ties.

Prize from  Buddly Crafts .

I am entering Jo's monthly challenge of
Tags & Trimmings

Happy Halloween

Good Morning All

Happy Halloween to you all.

I don't do Halloween but here in Spain it is a big thing and it is a red day (Bank Holiday) tomorrow for the Day of the Dead (All Saints Day)

This is when all the family go to the cemetery and have a picnic there so everyone is off work and therefore we I dont have a Craft Club tomorrow as the shop is shut.

I thought I would show you afew more Christmas tags I have made to add to my gifts.

This is also a great way of using very small pieces of card and paper and any other scraps.

Some of the bits on these I have in my Christmas box since we moved to Spain 9 years ago.

See you Saturday
