Tired little blogger

Ran my scrapbooking class for my mentally disabled adults and today we made cards for a change. They wove some paper and also tried iris folding. I love this class. Its hard work but everyone seems to enjoy it.
That's why I am a tired little blogger and writing this in bed. More tomorrow!

Magnolia Tilda Coaster Album





I love making these coaster albums using my Bind-It-All and decorated this one with some paper-pieced Magnolia Tilda images.

Announce it With Style website updated

After a few months of delays- mostly by me I have had my wedding stationery website updated. You can visit it at www.announceitwithstyle.co.uk and I would be grateful for any comments- both good and bad if you do.
I promise I won't be upset- really I won't!!!!

The demise of papercrafts

Spent most of the day in Newcastle. My oldest daughter went for a job interview and she was offered it on the spot. Yipee!
She was living near Hull with her boyfriend but was finding it difficult to get a job and has decided to move back home till she can save some money.
While she was being interviewed I decided to visit the local craft shops. Is it just me or are they all cutting down on their papercraft items?
The craft department in Fenwicks is about a third of its previous size and Imag-e-nation has a lot less stock than it used to hold. I know card making is not as popular as it was but I thought scrapbooking would just take over where card making left off.

Fishermans Friend

Well I'm blogging again. Sorry it's taken me so long to get my mojo back. This tag card was made to sell at a recent craft fair. I enjoy making cards like these -I think it's easier to decorate four small panels than one large space!
I used the large Sissix die for the tag and two of the I Brake For Stamps- Humerous Senior stamps. I love these stamps!!!
I used watercolour pencils to colour and finished the fish and waders with Diamond Glaze. I found a bought embellishment in my stash for the stuffed fish.
Hope you like it
