Craft and Quilt Fair

I went to the Craft and Qulit Fair today....and there is usually some lovely quilts to see.

This year there were so many innovative and truely stunning or beautiful quilts it was awe inspiring! There were many I would have happily taken home.

I LOVE quilting fabrics - much like the way I LOVE scrapbooking papers. I often wish many of the quilting materials were paper.

Some companies are cross selling their designs in scrapbooking paper and quilting fabrics. Fantastic!! I see many designs I'd love to have to play with.

Off to Stamp Art Studio tomorrow night and I'm at Arnold's all day Saturday so I will see quite a few of you soon. Hope you are in the mood for some fun and creativity!!

Happy scrapping,

Jane

How messy are you?

In my case, the answer to "How messy are you?" is VERY.

This is a temporary work space while I am housesitting. My friend Sharon came over to be creative with me - this is after I neatened up a bit.

One of the best things about craft is that we can all just be however we are and scrap however we like - there is no right or wrong, the aim is enjoyment. I am messy, chaotic and think perfection is overrated. I LOVE craft. You might be my opposite and still LOVE craft. Great isn't it?!

Be happy,

Jane

Flat out!

Wow, it's been so long since I blogged, it's a wonder I remember how :)

All I can say is I have been flat out with teaching at Stamp Art Studio and Arnold's Scrapbook and Craft Warehouse, teaching card classes and catering too.

Plus I have been working on making lots of new samples for class and cards for a project for birthdays and Christmas.

I did manage to fit in 2 days of cropping with my girlfriend Sharon too! Yesterday we spent the day being crafty and getting layouts and cards made. I can't believe how many cards Sharon has made...I think its 170 ish!

Get creative everyone,

Jane

Classes, layouts and cards!

Wow! It's been a really busy time lately with classes at Arnold's and Stamp Art Studio PLUS my continuing card classes hosted by the Burpengary Library.

We have also had a bit of catering to do and I am onto my second housesitting job in a row. If fact the cute dog I'm minding is sitting on my feet as I type this very entry.

So I hope you have all been well and getting creative as usual. I am planning on a big scrapbooking fest this weekend! Yay!

I include a card I made for my cousin's birthday and a photo of the lovely ladies who came to the library for a laugh and to make some quick and easy cards.

Now I must go feed the dog as its his dinner time!

Be happy,

Jane
