Workshop @ The Paperlane!

Hey Everyone!

Oh my doesn't time fly! I am finally recovered from that horrible horrible bug & have spent the last few days catching up with Christmas! The BIG day will be here before I know it! 

Anyway, on to some good news! I am teaching a workshop at THE PAPERLANE on the 21st January 2012! To book your place & for more details pop on over to the blog! 

Below is a little peek at what we will be doing ....

The project is CAS (Clean & Simple Cards) Card set and a little box to hold them in. The workshop will cover the skills & techniques used to create CAS style cards along with a few other paper crafting techniques. This project uses some Hero Arts stamps which have so many possibilities and are super fun to use!

Thanks for stopping by today!

The Paperlane Challenge No.6

Hello!

Firstly sorry I have been MIA I have been ill for the last 2 weeks with a nasty bug going around :( I am at about 75% today & found a lil bit of energy this morning to make a super quick CAS (Clean & Simple) card for this months challenge over at The Paperlane Challenge Blog.

This months challenge is again Christmas themed as the day will be here before we know it & lets just say now I am WAY behind schedule! 

Anyhow the challenge is to use unconventional colours on your card or project! 

I am a huge fan of unconventional Christmas colours :) I often throw in some aqua or lilac for a snow themed card! But, for today I used a tiny bit of aqua, hot pink & deep aqua. 

With a fuzzy head & not much mojo I needed a inspirational jumping point. Maile Bells' card HERE was the starting point I needed. I loved the LO she used & I could have done it a lot simpler than she shows as I originally planned to colour the ornament with my Copics but changed my mind & paper pieced it so I could have skipped the craft knife part!

Here is a close up of the sparkly bauble! The stamps are from Hero Arts & are Sparkle Clear Merry Christmas CL364 and Magic of Christmas CL462. I used Stardust Stickles on the bauble centre.

This is a super quick CAS card which can be easily mass produced & would look fun in an array of different conventional & unconventional colours! 

Thats all from me today, now I shall go back to resting & might even have a nap! Be sure to check out the challenge & join in on the fun :)
