I have updated my calendar of events with my classes and stamp camps. There are lots of new things to choose from, so click on the ‘Calendar’ tab at the top of the page and let me know what which class(es) you would like join me.
If you’d like any of the supplies, to shop, or to get a catalog, please feel free to contact me, and if you’re thinking of joining Stampin’ Up! and my team I’d most definitely like to hear from you.
First cards from my new space…….
Every month I have a wonderful group of ladies who come to my classes and workshops and place orders for products so they can continue to create when there are no classes to come to! I like to thank each and every one of them for their enthusiasm and support by making a card. Sometimes it is a full card, sometimes an 3×3 or sometimes a ‘business’ card size. Whatever I do it is always with heartfelt appreciation. Continue reading
A new space
I have not posted over the last few days as I have been moving house. We successfully sold our house (which we had lived in since we arrived in the US in 2001) and we closed bright and early yesterday morning. However, our new house is still being built and will not be ready until Thanksgiving, so we have moved into an apartment for the next 4 months. Continue reading

Watercolor Wonder from Stampin’ Up

Continue reading

Flower Shop for Mother’s Day
Here in the US we celebrate Mother’s Day on May 11th this year. In the UK it was celebrated in March. Before I started to make cards myself I was always struggling to find cards to send back to the UK for our Mum’s, in fact one year I bought some Mother’s Day cards in May and tucked them away until the following March! It is so much easier now that I make my own cards. So this is ‘ card for this year and one of the projects for my April card class. Continue reading
