Stamp a stack with stampin up

On saturday was my monthly class with Vicky my stampin up demonstrator and, as the title of this post suggests we made a stack of cards, complete with box to store them in (which vicky had kindly already made up for us to save time - all we had to do was the fun part, the decorating) we made six cards using the springtime vintage suite, with enough materials to repeat them again once we got home. I have to say i was very surprised how versatile the collection is, as initially i thought it would just be quite girly but it works well for male cards and lends itself nicely to the distressed look. anyway here are all the cards....

Look what i've been up to...

I've not picked up a set of knitting needles for a while but, after getting Let's get crafting knit & crochet half price at doncaster racecourse i finally gave it a go again. i must say i am very pleased with the results =) i've just got the next issue and am going to give a pair of frog slippers a go, and i can't wait for the christmas issue next month, i'm going to try making socks!!

Then i put my jewellery starter kit to good use to make a little birthday gift for my niece, again i'm pretty happy with the results, especially as it didn't actually take me too long to put together (she only has a small wrist!) i think a few people may be getting jewellery for christmas this year!









finally i put together a little name book to be used as an example for the summer holiday kids club my husbands running in his pub. he asked me to put a few crafty projects together for a couple of the weeks to keep the kids busy and this is one of the projects i came up with.

I cheated and didn't use my full name (i was a bit pushed for time!)

Still Here...and trying to get up to date!

After being away from home for 3 weeks, i am finally recovered from our not so relaxing holiday! we had a nice time, it was just very busy. me and the kids spent a week at my parents for my sisters engagement party and then 2 weeks in mablethorpe, trying to fit in all the different things the boys wanted to do =) i still managed to find some time to do some craft shop finding and got my mum to show me how to crochet (i haven't been able to get my head round it at all!!!).

I have a few thing i want to share with everyone, i've been trying some new things and have my stamp a stack cards to share from my monthly class with vicky so will start uploading all the pics tomorrow. i just thought i'd update, just so you knew i was still pottering around =D

anyhoo, until tomorrow
