Cardmaking With The Girlies October 2012

Hello Bloggers

Here are some pictures from our last class at The Watering Hole.

First attempt for me at transferring images onto candles - trust me to choose a blooming big image!

Still you learn by your mistakes !!

I am so sorry  everyone, that because I am so late posting these pictures I cannot remember who did what!

I forgot to say we were making a matching card.   I think you will agree the results are lovely!

Needless to say no matching card for my candle or for Mum's, ours took SO long to colour we just ran out of time.

I went for the bright red Poinsettia look,  Mum went for the more delicate Christmas Rose, which I think is much  much lovelier.

Almost everyone else went for the Owl stamp - what a HOOT !

All for now, be back soon,  thank you for looking.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share this card with you.

I have used the free stamps and free papers in the latest copy of Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine Issue 110.

There are some fabulous articles this month so worth getting if you haven't already!

How generous of CM&P Magazine to give away such lovely papers and stamps, there is another one ... I have coloured her too,  just not yet got around to finishing it off.
So must go things to do ...

No! I am not on commission for this magazine it is my fav though.

Sarah Kay - gardeners need many helpers.....

Back again...

I have looked up the name of this stamp and it is called 'Gardeners Need Many Helpers' by Sarah Kay and not boy with a pitch fork as I had put up previously.

I thought I would post up another few pictures of this card since it has been so popular .

X Cut fence die, LOTV sentiment.
Sorry about the quality of the first picture I really must try and sort out the focus here, the close ups are fine ??
Better than the first ever posting though.

This is the same stamp used in a different way.

Martha Stewart Punch.

That is all from me today.  be back again soon and thank
 you for taking the time to look :}

Card Making with the girlies... again.

Hello everyone.

Yesterday was our Card Making Group at the Watering Hole.
I set the girls a sketch challenge.  Any theme, any size, anything you like.
Here are the results.

 Group picture

 Almost done...

The first picture is an example I showed the group before we started; as is the white on white butterfly card I made for a sketch challenge I entered ages ago.

It is amazing how everyone came up with really different cards.

• Sharon made a 'Man's Card' on a 'black and white' theme, turned the sketch onto its side, stunning result.  Also a Christmas Card 'Gold and Purple'. 
• Joan's card was on an Autumnal theme, love the embossing folder for the background , colours are lovely too.  
• Mother made a Christmas Card - lots of lovely Robins!
• Mine is the blue one a  Birdie Birthday Card .
• Rosemary only had about 30 minutes to 'play' as she had a meeting to attend.  Rosemary managed to come up with the lovely red and white Christmas Card and almost finished the flower on the front it wasn't attached we just ran out of time ( stood in front just so we could get a picture) - to be finished at home.  I wanted to say, what an achievement in such a short time!! 
• Jacky I am so sorry I only managed to get some of your card in the group picture, love your silhouette Robin on sparkly label die.
• Anitta is finishing her cards off at home.  Hope you are feeling better today xx

Really looking forward to the next meeting,  Rosemary's turn !  We are stamping onto candles for Christmas - how exciting.  Will post up pictures after   hopefully).

Get well soon Sally see you next time.   Missed you too Julia .... see you soon . 

All from me for now, I am back later with something else.
