We have a winner, and some cards to share.

I like to thank all of you who visited my blog over the weekend and left such wonderful comments. Each and every one of you made my day! I used Random Org to generate a winner out of these fabulous people, and it was comment #50 by.........Daffy who said "cool layout, I am a follower now, thanks for a chance to win, Carolyn H" Congrats, I hope you enjoy your parcel of goodies.

And now for some cards, sneek peaks, and layouts!

We're having a Christmas Countdown at Artfull Crafts, with lots of ideas from all the talented design team ladies. This week featured Christmas card ideas. Here's what I came up with using Graphic 45's Christmas range.









I made my rosette by punching a 12 strip of paper, then folding it all the way along. I joined the ends and then coaxed it into the rosette shape by pushing the punched edge outwards, and gluing to secure.





I'll be posting some more cards tomorrow......"Girly" Christmas ones this time!

Here's my version of a layout from a class by held Jenny Sutherland at Printblocks. I expanded slightly on her version, and added Smooch inks & metallic rubs to give a shimmer to the watches. I added Dimensional Magic to some elements, and Crackle Accents to the watchfaces..







And as promised a sneak peak of some of my upcoming classes at Greenbank Scrapbook Shop in November.

Demo Day

We held our first Demo Day at Greenbank Scrapbook Shop last Saturday. Lisa (owner) & Susan, Janine and I demo'd "Our Favourite Product". Must admit I had a really hard time choosing 'just one product'. I ended up doing "Things that go bling" and showed the ladies lots of tricks with Radiant Rain daubers and Glimmermists (told you I couldn't choose just one!). Janine did some gorgeous stamping pages, and Susan showed us lots of tips for dressing up chipboard. Everyone got goodie bags with lots of product, and one of the lucky ladies won a Cuttlebug.
