Whenever I am looking at other peoples blogs I have thought about leaving a message and saying that I like something, or whatever. I haven't ever manage to do it though. It always seems like a complicated procedure! You need to sign in on your Google account or something like that, and I have always thought it was too hard, and just given up.
Today I came across "Cbox" and I actually managed to very easily leave a message for the lady who's blog I was looking at. So I have installed it here, see to the right of the screen. Hopefully someone will leave a message and I will know that someone looks at my blog. I don't have a counter on here, so I have absolutely no idea how many, or if anyone is looking. Just say hello so that I know you are out there :)
Thank You,
Have a Great Weekend!

Phew! last weeks Stamp a Stack was a real marathon. Hopefully I have learnt to keep it simple from now on. Sorry to the ladies who may have found it a bit of a hard slog. Some of you, it didn't seem to worry and you got through all those cards without even breaking a sweat. :)
The next class is next Tuesday 16th February and that is a technique class. We are doing Masking and Reverse Masking. Here are the cards we will be making.
At Last weekends workshop, everyone had fun trying out a few different techniques and getting some hands-on experience with some of the tools that they may not have used before. We used the stamp-a-ma-jig, stamp placement tool. This was used to make sure that the second stamp from the 'two step stamps' went in exactly the right place. They also enjoyed doing some colouring in using Watercolour Pencils and Watercolour Crayons. To finish off the session everyone made a lovely Valentine's Day card using the Raspberry Tart DSP and lots of the Stampin' Up! punches. The punches used were: Heart to Heart, Eyelet Edge, Scalloped Oval, Wide Oval and the Butterfly Punch.
Here are the cards I made from the samples I demonstrated:
This little tag card and the next two cards, are from demonstrating the different colouring-in methods. I used Stampin Markers, Watercolour Pencils and Watercolour Crayons along with the Aqua Painter to blend the colours.
These two cards are the Valentine's Day card I mentioned earlier plus a card using Trendy Trees stamp set (I used the Stamp-a-Ma-Jig for the two step stamping. Plus the Stampin Wheel "Funky Forest"). I inked up the wheel using an Old Olive ink pad, then using the Stampin Write Markers went over the tree trunks with Chocolate Chip before wheeling it onto the card. Such an easy way to get a two tone effect with a wheel. Because the Chocolate Chip ink is darker than the Old Olive it doesn't effect the marker by going over the already inked wheel. If you do get a little discolouration using this method, simply scribble the marker on some scrap paper until it comes clean and back to it's original colour.
Thanks for Looking, and Happy Valentine's Day Everyone.

Classes
The January Technique of the Month Class has proven very popular and I am doing this class on a couple of different dates:
Tuesday 19th January FULLY BOOKED
Thursday 21st January 7pm (there are a couple of spots left if you are interested)
The next class after that will be a Stamp a Stack on Tuesday 2nd February Below are the pictures of the cards we will be making. We usually make ten cards, that's two designs five of each design. As you can see I like to vary the cards a little so that you have a good mixture of cards to take home at the end of the class. They are really just two basic designs but using the same pieces in different ways. I hope you like them. If you are interested in this class please email or call me soon. The cost is $20 which includes a light supper, everything to make the cards including inserts and envelopes (bring your own adhesives - Snail or double sided tape and Dimensionals) If need be, I can order some for you, or Pay $25.00 for the class and use mine.
Other dates to remember for February are Thursday 11th at 7.30pm is our next Stamp Club meeting. That's members only, but if you are interested in joining a Stamp Club get in touch with me. How the Stamp Club works is: there are at least six members and we get together once a month at my place, for six months. Each month members place an order for $50 worth of products and one month during the period each member gets a turn at being the hostess. ie gets the Free hostess stamp set and Free $30 or more, worth of Stampin' Up! goods, without any of the hassel of organising a workshop at your place. It's a great way to get all those things on your wish list too.
Also:
February Technique of the Month Class, Tuesday 16th February at 7pm. Technique to be advised.
