Hello Blog land, at last I was able to get back to work last week and surprisingly the ladies on the Thursday class all made it in to the shop, so glad were they to be back to crafting once more, aren't we all I hear you cry!

This is a card I made whilst at work on Saturday and it is on the class list in the near future, I took my inspiration from a card shown in this months Craft Stamper mag, using the Distress ink pads, Archival black and an Impress ink pad, lace trim on the edges of the card and the tag, bo bunny 12 x 12 background paper and a set of new stamps that I can't for the life of me remember so I will add this in later when I get home from work, almost forgot to mention that I made the frame using the mandala board.

This is a card I made on Wednesday 23rd December it was the last day at work before
the Xmas holidays.
I just wanted to play with something that wasn't Christmas...

This is the same card would you believe?

It looks a totally different colour, just taken the picture at a different angle

Here is a photo from work of another up and coming class in the new Year, I used the Nature set of stamps from U-Mount and some of the Cosmic Shimmer Mica powders.

Inside there is a matching book mark. I enjoyed making this card, the photo doesn't do it justice even if I say so myself :)

OH MY G !! is it 4 weeks since I last posted can't believe it! well I have been off work with the flu although I didn't see any little pigs flying, and the last few weeks have been really busy at work, Heather my boss and I have planned all the classes for January thank goodness that they are done now and are all nearly fully booked I have to say, oh gosh that means we will have to start on the classes for February (all good fun) heck no! it's work don't you know, a serious business of planning and making samples, checking out all the new goodies I mean testing the new products for the sake of all our lovely customers, after all that's what it is all about keeping our customers happy.
I suppose at this point I could show you a couple of pics I took at work last week of the cards I made for the first class when we start back in January, I have used one of the Sugar Nellie stamps she is called Flower Girl. We have a range of theses stamps in the shop, all of them sooooo cute! If you click on the Crafty Addicts Blog in my list you can see some more pics from other classes.

Once again we are back to Monday, dull and a little wet, what else is new.

Here is a card I made at work on Saturday morning, I enjoyed making it so much that I just had to buy the set of stamps. It's like outdoors on a windy day and the images are so cute. The background is a Glimmer mist and the trees are stamped in a Ranger distress ink pad. The little girl and the umbrella is stamped in Versafine black and I coloured them with Zig brushables and a damp paint brush. I finished off with some small punched shapes (leaves and flowers), and the grass was just green paper. The stamps are Ollyfant, a range from Kars. All the products I used we sell in the shop http://craftyaddicts.co.uk/. If you go to http://heatherbees.blogspot.com/ you will see some cards that Heather made with the same set of stamps.... Sorry if the photo is not too clear as I took it at the end of a busy day and we just wanted to go home as the hunger pangs had set in

Well it's Friday once again! where do the weeks go? Here is a card I made at work which we did in a class last Friday evening at the shop. A good time was had by all, we started at 7p.m. and left for home around 10.0clock. A big thank you to all of the ladies who came along, they all said how much they loved the card and enjoyed themselves. *We aim to Please*

The card is 8x8 smooth white 300gms which we sell in the shop and is a lovely card to work with. The background was created by using Versafine and Brilliance ink pads, and the stamps are the Retro Flowers by Elusive Images, (also available in the shop). If you can't come along and visit us in the shop then try us out at http://thecraftyaddicts.co.uk

Now it's time for me to go and get ready for work and hopefully I can be a bit creative some more LOL.

This is a double tag card I made at work yesterday, the design is from Cute Companions CD, and the background papers are from the new magazine just out
called Creative Cardmaking issue 1, and yes you've guessed it this will also be a class in March...
Thanks to my boss Heather for taking such good photo's!!!
