Monday already...

The weeks are flying by...and I always think "AHHHHHHHHHH!" when those pesky Christmas in July classes start being advertised. The momentum will start picking up now, so get creative!

In this photo left to right: Margaret, Alison, Lorraine and Glenda.

I promised photos of the ladies at my Saturday class and here are 8 of them, sorry Diane and Anna. I forgot to take more photos to capture you all. Not as funny as my other mistake though...

In this photo left to right: Tanya, Lorraine, Sharon and Lesley.

Margaret informs me early on that there is a mistake in the handout for the first class. I think, "Darn, not again!" She encourages me to look at it...and I find that instead of three separate drawings there are 3 drawings but 2 are of the same layout. LOL

So I drew a quick copy of the 'missing layout' and copied it for them all. Remember girls, if you want the 'proper' drawing just email me at liveoutloud43@y7mail.com

Well I had the giggles after that and we had a great day where I got them all working very hard and laughing our way through the day. I came home with a stack of new papers from Stamp Art Studio too.

But I have to add one more thing - it's my birthday Wednesday and I finally got my Cricut Expressions machine off layby because everyone is chipping in for my gift! Yay! Tracy at Arnold's was very happy for me. Thanks :) I will be 44. I think that's quadruple trouble.

Be happy,

Jane

Cards and crops

Another day of getting creative for upcoming classes...

The card uses a tulip stamp and I have only inked the stem and leaf with Chalk ink in Tea Leaves. The paper flower was pale blue and I added 2 shades of aqua or teal also in chalk inks.

I added the tiny butterfly with a foam pop dot and 2 more inside with the sentiment. Yes, that is a tiny aqua gem on the dot of the 'j' in "just".

The sentiment "Just because..." continues inside with "I miss you".

The card below uses the same stamp and idea in another way.

Off to give a class at Arnold's Scrapbooking and Craft Supplies at Rothwell tomorrow, then giving a card class Friday and finally on Saturday a day spent with my friend Sharon playing with our new Copic pens, stamps, and Sharon's Cricut and Big Shot.

Yes, it's hard work, but someone's got to do it!

Loving yellow at the moment! What are you in to??

See the colours around you,

Jane
