The magic of Christmas

I've been getting into digital scrapbooking more as it is easier with Briony around - only little fingers wanting to tap keys rather than play with supplies!

I have been trying some of the January challenges over at The Lily Pad so thought I'd share my double page layout I created for challenge 9.

Triangular mini album class

This is an example of the mini album we will be making at the class on Saturday. It can hold a maximum of 10 photos, but some of these could be journal spots instead. The best photos to use are those where the subject does not fill the whole frame or it is difficult to cut the triangle out and not lose part of the subject. Contact me for more details and to book a place.

July Workshop CANCELLED

Unfortunately I have had to cancel the July workshop due to low attendance. As usual there will be no workshop in August so hopefully the September will be running as normal!

Custom Christmas Card

This is a card that I custom made for the head teacher at the school I teach at. I used my Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot 2 to cut the silhouette from a dingbats font. I made the decorative label for the greeting using a corner punch - I have uploaded a video to Youtube with a tutorial to show you how.

Christmas craft classes

In December I am holding a variety of Christmas craft classes in both Dereham and Norwich. These are £8 each and a selection of the items are photographed above. All materials are included. However, a basic craft kit containing scissors, glue, pencil, ruler and paper trimmer would be useful, although there are a limited number of these items that can be borrowed if necessary.
