This months PaperArts Class

The box I made with Tim Holtz back in Feb, I had lots of requests to teach this box, so went ahead at http://www.paperarts.co.uk/ this weekend.
I think I can safely say everybody had a FAB time...people bought along some of their own things to put in the box, some bought so much they had to do 2 boxes !!! It kept everybody busy all day, and they all had gorgeous boxes to take home. It was nice that every bodies was so different and had individual memories attached to each of them....might be nice to do another class later in the year if anybody is interested ?
This is the lovely bag and tag that Sue and Irené put together for the kit, it was like Christmas, and made the day extra special.
A sample of some of the lovely boxes that were made in the class, all so very different !!!

Sneak Peek for PaperArts

Here's a sneak peak for the class I'm teaching on Saturday at http://www.paperarts.co.uk/index.php?sect=June

I was taught by the man himself "Tim Holtz" on his recent UK Tour.....I can't promise to be as funny as him, but hopefully it'll still be a fun day. Most of the bits and bobs will be supplied, but it would be really nice for you to bring some of your own memorabilia, from your childhood etc to make all the boxes more personal.

There are still some places left so please come along for a most enjoyable day, with fun, laughter and most importantly cake, provided by the very kind Sue and Irené at PaperArts. Create something unique and memorable.....
P.S Don't wear your best clothes or white !!! You have been warned.....

The Colour Room #62

A while ago I joined the http://thecolorroom.ning.com/ I did a few LO's then got lazy...as its been absolutely pouring with rain all day today, I decided to have a go at this weeks palette - orange, orange, and more orange, oh and a bit of white....Obvioulsy ds5 goes perfectly with orange, so had fun making this page, I even inked the hessian orange !!!

Colour Combo Galore #196

I just joined http://colorcombosgalore.ning.com/ I've visited the site before through other peoples blogs, but had been too lazy to get going....but this week the colours inspired me, so I joined.... I quite like the fact there is no sketch to work with, just the colours, so hopefully this will get me scrapping more.
This is ds4 on the beach in Wales, suddenly 15, nearly 6' tall and broad - another one taller than me, only 2 to go, but I think they will be taller too !!!

Finish off Friday....

Just another couple that I have been trying to finish off for ages....Friday is now 'finish off Friday'...I'm not allowed to do anything but finish off pages/books that have been lying around for ages...its working too!!!!

Bo Bunny LO Challenge Friday

I thought I'd have a go at a blog challenge. I've never done one before so here goes......This is for the Bo Bunny LO Challenge Friday - I had to draw inspiration from some fabric, I was actually inspired by the dress in the photo, the orange pleats in the dress are mirrored in the paper pleats around the clock face.
I used Bo Bunny Gabrielle promenade, with the Bo Bunny timepiece clockwork die cut - I just thought they went together perfectly. I made the flowers and used a spellbinder die for the cogs.
Hope you like it !!!
Luckily www.paperarts.co.uk has got the new collections from BO Bunny in stock....

This Months Class at PaperArts

This was the class I did this month at www.paperarts.co.uk it was well attended and I think judging by the quiet that descended enjoyed by all. It was nice to do a page that wasn't girly, I'd been looking around at all the Lo's the teachers at PaperArts had done in recent months, and most were girly....as I have 5 boys I thought I should be able to come up with something that didn't have flowers on !!!!

Sue and Irene at www.paperarts.co.uk are getting some kits together to sell very soon, I was asked if I could do some LO's with the kits, so that people had a starting point or could just scraplift.....I think there will be 2 single page kits, 1 two page kit and one mini book....So I look forward to seeing them up on the website ladies....soon.....
