Vintage wedding card and bunting

After having a stall at our playgroup's pamper evening, a customer asked me to make some bunting for her sisters wedding along with a matching card. This is what I came up with. I am so pleased with the way it turned out..and for once all my own work and inspiration- I just pretended I was Emma Trout and Rachel Elliot rolled into one and got on with it!

Scrapstars retreat

Well it's been a good while since I last blogged but I have been really busy since then. The highlight was a weekend away in Leeds at the scrapstars retreat (and yes I managed not to be sick for this one!)
Had a lovely time and met some lovely people and made some fabby things thatnks to the wonderfully talented teachers.

Here are some of the creations. I have yet to finish all of Lida's.

 This one from Rachel's class


This one from Emma's class

 and another from Rachel
another from Emma

 and three of my creations in the evenings after dinner...can you see the difference...I just don't have the amazing creative talents to chonk out LO's as beautiful as in the classes. Oh well, it's a journey and a learning curve..perhaps I'll get there one day :-)


I also started the most amazing flip flap mini book which I intend to put my dads memories in and I can't wait to finish it and share.
