Fabulous 40!

On Friday, I had the honour of attending a gorgeous lady's 40th Birthday party, which was made all the more special by the fact that it was also my birthday! Lots of us put in to a collection for her pressie, but to keep it personal we all added our own birthday cards. Having created my first easel card in the previous post, I decided to do another one of these as I think they are just stunning.



This is the card I created, it is so pretty in real life, very sparkly!!

February Stamp Club

I run a stamp club every month for a group of lovely ladies, they come along and I demonstrate a technique which we then put into practice by making some samples. They then place a monthly order and each month one of them is chosen to be the 'hostess' - all the benefits of hosting their own workshop but with none of the hassle!

This month I demonstrated the 'Rock and Roll' technique, which despite being really simple, produces beautiful results, we coupled this with 'Non-standard Card', so we made an Easel Card and a Joy-Fold card.

Here are the samples
