2009 Calender (Afternoon Tea DSP)

I had so much fun making this calender today, I first seen this on my good friend Ashley's Blog, and then followed the link to This blog for the tutorial from Nancy Morgan. It is super easy and lots of fun. I used the Afternoon tea DSP from the summer mini! the stamp i used is from Baroque motifs. This is how it looks when you stand it on your desk or wherever.



These two are the inside which you take the ribbon out, and well i changed the colour ribbone and then flipped it over for the next 6 months. How cool is this!
You can't tell from the pic, but each rhinestone in the middle of the baroque flower matches its colour! And since we dont have brown rhinestones, i used one clear one from the pretties kit. Hope you like, you should all give it a go, its one of the easiest things i have made!

Kids Craft Class

Hey Im backkkk! Tomorrow Im doing my first ever kids class with 6 8 year old girls. The first project we are making is the card folder that we learnt at Melbourne Stampin' up! regionals in November last year. I have changed the colours and stamps to suit younger girls.

This is the card folder

This is what it looks like open, the girls will be making 3 mini cards, and decorating the mini enveloped to keep in the folder.

This card was made by the very talented Yvonne Campbell and I have decided to case it, but change the colours to suit young girls.


And here it is in the colours I made it with for tomorrows class.
Anyway, glad to be back in blogging land and look forward to making lots this year. I will be doing a card class with the summer mini catalogue the end of january so let me know if your interested. I will also in february be holding a calender making class. So just email me if your interested in either of those classes.
