Congratulations

Congratulations Linda - you are the lucky winner of a free stamp set :)

I would post to share some of the Christmas cards I made this year but unfortunately I didn't manage to get a photo of them! Camera battery needed charged and I really needed to get them in the post!

If any of the recipients have a photo they could let me have I'd be ever so grateful! LOL

Next class! and reminder for last Christmas orders

Thank you to everyone who came along on Thursday - I think we got there in the end after the late start!

I've just looked at the school newsletter and there is something on at the school on the 18th and as I think most people were busy anyway the next class will be in the New Year. I'll confirm that date in due course and post a picture of our next project.

Also a quick reminder that if you wanted to order anything for Christmas either for presents or yourself, or if your loved ones want to place an order for you then I recommend that you have the orders with me no later than 8 December.
Remember if you order £150 or more this qualifies as a workshop order and you will receive all the usual hostess benefits (ie free level one gift plus £15 of product) PLUS the additional free set for workshop orders placed in November and December (see post below)

Finally look out for some information coming soon re a VERY special event in the New Year!

Square Scallop Punch Christmas Decoration

This was the little bonus project for the last Christmas class - we only touched on it briefly towards the end so I thought I would post the tutorial online.

Step 1: Punch out 6 squares using the square scallop punch - I am using a sheet from the Too Cute designed series paper.

Step 2
Fold over each corner as shown

Step 3
Do the same on all 6 scalloped squares


Step 4
Glue the folded bits together as shown on 5 of the squares (I used the Tombow Multi glue - loving this! Now my glue of choice :) Step 6
Before you add the last square either thread a hat pin from the pretties kit through your cube diagonally, or a piece of silver or gold elastic cord.

Step 7
Add the final side and attach a small piece of gingham ribbon for decoration.


You can combine more than one for a large decoration - I also used the circle punch to make a round decoration.

November is a GREAT month to book a party!

If you host a party with me between 1st November and 31st December not only will you get the usual FREE HOSTESS SET and FREE PRODUCTS if your party sales are over £150 but you will also get

Christmas Class

I had such a great time today teaching my Christmas "I Wish" class. Thank you to everyone who came along and made it so easy for me. Look forward to seeing you all next month at my Boxes, Bags n Tags class *smile*

Here's a little ornament I made last week:

Kirsten liked it so much we had to make another one in pastel girly colours too and at over an hour a time to make wasn't that fun! Actually its quite relaxing to sit and fold them when watching the TV. The decoration is made from 30 sonobe modules joined together.
