Our challenge this month

This month Nadine challenged us to make a bag. Mine made with that lickable ribbon i go on and on and on about ....

Tracey too cute bag

Judy's wee tiny one that I think would look great on a christmas tree

Nadines now wouldn't you like to get one of these filled with chocolate fudge for christmas mmmm I would!!

This photo does not give enough credit to this card Judy made it is all black , white and grey and very elegant . I think it would be a great 21st card.

This month our challenge was set by Nadine to make a bag.

More of Judy,s cards.

I am sorry Judy I tried to turn the photos around but they just would not stay put!!!

Beautiful or what.

My Team Are so talented!!

My team of Downline and I meet once a month for chat , tips and tecniques and make n takes . This time Judy was in charge , She really enjoys Michelle Zindorf style .So we all had a go .It is not my natural style however I really like the outcome so much so I made judy come back again and help me make a really cool one to send to my friends in the states for christmas ( i will put it here after i have posted them so as not to spoil the surprise) .

CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE ...

If you are like me and still haven't really clicked into Christmas mode yet, then you will need to come and join Sharlene and I as we host a special Christmas class on December 6th. During this class you will make:

Not only will you make all the above projects, but we will also try and get you in the Christmas spirit with some yummy nibbles and Christmas music! You won't be saying "bah humbug" when you leave after this afternoon of merriment!!

As soon as we can get that sorted I promised to post loads of pics.
I recently demoed at a training for us Stampin' Up! demonstrators and Emma ( the Country Manager) Gave me a very simple but lovely card. That card prove to be an expensive gift ......
