Perpetual Birthday Calender..

This is a great kit from SU' and we had a lovely class making this really useful Calender. You will find it in the annual catalogue..you can use any stamps and inks but it does look lovely if you use the co-ordinating stamp set...I made the little boxes for the class using the butterfly from the stamp set in lost lagoon...the ladies loved the class and the cute little box!

Birthday Invitation...

Well I'm in full swing making these slider card birthday Lego invites for frazers upcoming 6th birthday....I'm using retired papers here but wanted the brights reds and blues..perfect for the job! There is a super tutorial for slider cards with dawnstampinthoughts.net

New In-colours 2015/2017

Loving the new in-colours....here they are...

Showcasing a brand new stamp...from Stampin Up!

I was asked to be part of the design

team at the recent Telford Stampin Up Training day...here are my makes..quite a challenging set but everybody seemed to like them on the day! I do hope it gave some of the demonstrators some inspiration!

Sheltering Tree..

I eventually got round to a class using this gorgeous stamp set...we did the four seasons...and what a lovely morning of crafting we had!

Telford Training Day...

Well training days are very full on at Stampin Up and you usually come home completely exhausted...this year was no different...here I made the Stampin Stylettes (team) a special little gift. I used the cases the stamps sets are stored in, added some DSP, a note book added a little envelope and hey presto a cute stationary wallet...they loved them...

My Downline Training Evening...

My lovely ladies who are part of my emmalou designs team met for a lovely spring evening to do a spot of crafting...I love it when we get together...we had wine, chocolate a few giggles and some crafting was fitted in along the way! My team of demonstrators are very hard working and talented!

Painted Petals On Fabric...

Bibi Cameron gave me the inspiration to stamp onto fabric...and here they are, little cosmetic bags! Really quick and easy and oh how cute they look...my friends at Telford training day are going to be recieving them as swops! Hope they like them.  I made them with scraps of fabric

and used the painted petals stamp set using a variety of different colours.

Embossing Class..

We had a lovely morning doing our embossing class and the ladies loved having a go at a new technique! The card was designed by cariad cards but the little boxes were there table gifts and I embossed the lid in night of navy! Must say there were very cute and they loved them!

Birthday Bash...

Had this cute set a while and only just got round to using it!
