Bunting on my mind

With Bunting taking up a lot of my thoughts & time I thought that i'd make a bunting card. I idea was from a card design in craft stamper a few weeks ago using heart stamps that Jeanette one of my stampers 6 pointed out to me, so I thought that I would give it a try using my Stampin' Up stash.

I have used the I {heart} Hearts set & Happy everything set, the papers are from the Sweet pea paper stack. The frill at the top of the card was stamped with the largest heart stamp from the I {heart} Hearts set & then the bottom of the heart was cut off to make the frill. The idea was to use the bottom of the heart for the bunting but it was a little too big & didn't work as planned. back to the drawing board & I knew that i'd read somewhere that you could use the Large Star punch to make the bunting.....hey presto the first bunting card.

All of the products used on this card are from Stampin' Up & are available to purchase through me.

Can you guess what this is made from?

Recycling at its best

If you haven't guessed, this magnetic note holder started life as a baking sheet from poundland

The papes are from the designer paper stack called sweet pea & the magnets are decorated with the Sweet Pea stitched felt flowers.
I used the big bite cropodile & it went through the metal baking sheet like a hot knife through butter.

All of the decorative parts of this project are from Stampin' Up & are available to purchase  through me.

The metal baking sheet is from the local pound store.

What a fantastic day

After much preparation the 1st Stampin' Up experience day with fellow Demonstrators Sharon & Michelle finally arrived.

On the third attempt we were on the road to the village hall, It is a lovely new hall surrounded by fields.
As they say that many hands make light work the hall was quickly set up so A big thank you also has to go to Paul, Abi & Shaun.
We didn't have long to catch our breath before the first of our 30 ladies arrived.
We had a lovely project planned for the Morning, a super cute handbag using the new sweet pea papers & four 4 x 4 co-ordinating cards.

We had a staggered break for lunch & the view from the upstairs lunch room was lovely over the fields which were full of sheep & lambs.

There were three projects for the afternoon
