Finally got around to doing a wee shop on Folksy, although I severely underestimated the time required to upload stuff so it looks a bit bare at the mo!
I am absolutely delighted to have been invited to teach classes at Bubbly Funk in the newly opened store in Worcester town centre. My first class is going to be a maze book (if you've never made one of these you must come along, they are dinky and cute and so addictive!). My design is pictured above but there will be scope in the class to give it your own twist if you wish. There will be two options to give the class a wide appeal - you can either make a little gift book filled with quotes or you can make a mini scrapbook album using photos.
A couple more Simply Create DT items today, using the Glitz Designs kit again. Firstly some vintage-style tags using the Scarlett stamp. The tags are stamped on the background with a Glitz distressing stamp, both use the frame stamp - on the left I coloured the central panel and added it on 3D foam and on the right filled the frame with flowers. The gems are actually plain Papermania ones I've coloured with Krylon (oh how I love my Krylon pen!).
Secondly I used a wooden crown that was in the kit to make this simple card. The crown is covered in UTEE with glitter sprinked into it and although the camera doesn't capture it that well, it is super shiny and blingy! That's it for this month's kit - hope you like my makes :)
Finally got cracking on my Simply Create kit that I am ashamed to say came well before Christmas... All the bits and bobs are Glitz Designs (apart from the title) - when I saw the faux book page embellishment I knew what I had to scrap!
Yesterday I went to a fab class at the newly opened Bubbly Funk B&M shop in Worcester, with the lovely Caroline. It was an art journaling class - not very me at all. But that was the point, to try to move a bit out of my comfort zone. As you can see, the result is pretty far outside my comfort zone (OK the dog in a hat is quite me, but composition and materials wise etc), but I am really chuffed with it. I didn't like the yellow paint job I did for the background but I made myself work with it anyway and I am so glad I did! The journal is actually a chipboard file folder with a ring binder mechanism inside, great for a novice journaler because if you hate a page you can just take it out.
