More Tote's and a Thank you

June is a busy month for Birthdays but firstly I needed to catch up with some 'thank you's'. Love making these little tote's and thank you cards.

The colours are Regal Rose, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue and Whisper White with Pretty in Pink Ribbon. I'm giving this set away as a gift but I can see I'll be making more of these.

Changing the subject just slightly, if you would like to be in with a chance of winning a FREE stamp set, Stampin' Up! have a competition running here. To enter simply answer the question. You never know - someone's got to win, right?

Top Note Tote

This was the mini class everyone made from Friday nights Open evening.The idea came from an online class I've been doing with 'UStamp' created by Twila Davis. The original was a bit smaller so I've adapted it to fit 3, 3x3 thank you cards. So easy but a fantastic little gift for someone. Made with the exclusive Top Note Die, Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder and Beautiful Wings Embosslit. These products are only available through Stampin' Up! If you'd like to know how to make this, or you'd like to purchase these items, it will be the Make & Take for next months workshops. Please contact me if you'd like to book a date for a fun couple of hours crafting with friends and you could earn some of these items for free!

Ending on a high.

What a week I've had! Not the best but it's ended on a high which is better than the other way round. Last night I had a craft evening at Holt with a fabulous turnout. The evening was open for everyone to bring along their stash and craft and have a lovely social evening with refreshments and nibbles. Now I did take the camera along but I was so busy I completely forgot until we were packing up. Not a lot of use then eh?!?! I also did a mini class during the evening which was a big hit - pics will follow tomorrow. This afternoon I had a workshop at Karina's which was definately the highlight of my week. Karina had made these A-MAZE-ING cakes! OMG, they were to die for. No good for the diet but it's rude to refuse isn't it? And I now know the secret ingredient....wavy eggs!!! Yes, 'wavy eggs' is what I thought I heard. We all laughed our heads off when we realised she'd actually said 'weigh the eggs'. Honestly I'm still chuckling over it now. So, so funny. Thank you ladies for coming along and making it so wonderfully entertaining. Crafting, cakes and laughter - what more could I ask for! So, a decorated bag and card for today. My mojo has been a bit absent lately and you wouldn't believe how long it took me to create this, but here it is. Using the Lap of Luxury Designer papers and Clearly for You. Be back tomorrow with the Mini Class from last night. Jo
