Classes at local Craft Shop

Good Morning All

As you know, I run a craft club at our local Craft Shop here in Spain.

They also do many others classes too and as I mentioned last week, I go to a One Stroke Painting class on Mondays.

I showed some of my makes last week and here is a calendar we made last week, I am very happy with this, the daisies turned out quite good.

We were painting flowers yesterday but didn't have time to get them onto a canvas, so, hopefully I will do it next Monday.
******

Also, I hold a Groovi workshop every other Tuesday and here are afew of the  things the ladies made last week.

Sue has only been coming for 3 sessions.

Some of the ladies wanted to do glittering on their work.

Shanni has been coming for quite afew weeks and this is one of her flowers that she made in class, she has done traditional parchment in the past, but her picot snipping has got really good-

 And last Tuesday was Lenni's first week and new to parchment too.

Here is her completed glittered card.

She didn't picot cut the flowers but she cut them by hand too.

Didn't they all do well.

******

If you read my post the other day after my visit with John Next Door, you will know he has challenged me again to use all my dies!!!!!!

But this time in a journal, as I am doing a Journal Therapy Course online.

I wont be able to use every die in the journal so I will be making cards alongside to show you.

I have made the journal, not decorated, but done the inside.

It has 3 signatures and I will use dies to decorate and make pockets and tuck spots.

I am keeping a big box in my craft room with my makes and the dies in to keep it all catalogued and organised.

This is a great way of having a clear out too.

I already have a pile of dies that I have not used since my last die challenge to myself, so I am getting rid.

Same with Emboss folders too, I am going to use these alongside the dies and get rid of some too.

Snowflakes or Snowman for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by Kath and an easy them of 

Snowflakes or Snowmen

I made this card for my Groovi workshop, to show the ladies that you can make a lovely card with just a very small topper of Groovi work.

The Snowflake background is a die cut matted onto silver mirri card.I think the sentiment is a stamp from one of my craft club ladies, been in my Christmas box since last year.

I made this one too with a scrap of parchment and a Snowflake EF of Johns.

Brenda is offering this stamp set as a prize.

This selection feature some Advent Ribbon from the store Here.

I cut it up into individual pieces and stuck down with material washi tape.

 These two are using a couple of recycled Christmas cards from last year.

Santa/Elves for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge  this time is

Santa and / or His Elves.

I was going to drop out of this one as I could NOT find any images with Elves on, then I read it was either with or without the Elves so I found this Santa image in a magazine. Phewwww.

The paper is from LOTV, a silver doily, Johns Snowflake die and the circle sentiment is from Netty free.

Have fun with this challenge and show Team A your makes.
