Choo Choo




Hasn't the weather been so great. We had a day in the garden yesterday, getting it ready for the spring veges to go in.
The courier arrived yesterday with Right on Track stampin' around wheel, which had been on back order I'm so glad that it has arrived as I have been wanting to play this stamp set since it arrived earlier in the week. I came in from the garden and relaxed by making these 2 cards, what a great way to unwind with some stamping.
Samuel my 4 year old loves this stamp set and I have promised him some creating time this afternoon.

Wednesday's Workshop

Hi, On Wednesday evening I did a workshop, there were 16 lovely ladies who attended. We had a great night. I demonstrated this Just for you Pouch. It's great pouch for a little something.
I used Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla Card. I stamped with Versamark Circle Circus, bubble stamp on the Pumpkin Pie card. Then I stamped in Old Olive Oval all, Just for You stamp on Very Vanilla card, then I used the New Oval Scallop Punch now available out of the Spring Mini Catalogue from 1st August to 30th November. If you would like a Spring Mini let me know and I send one out to you or click on the Spring Mini on the right and view online.
The Ladies made this Accordion Album for the make and take. Most of them had already made the origami box that they fit into at the Scrap and Craft Escape earlier in the month.
