Training day Projects

Hi Ladies
I mentioned last week that I was going on a Stampin up training day last Sunday. Well I had a great, got lots of ideas  and made some very nice projects. We all had projects that we swapped with each other so came home with lots of goodies.

Here are a couple of the projects that we made.


Both projects use the lovely Mocha Morning Specilaity Papers . The box is made with the Mini Milk Carton die -very clever use of that.

Below are a few swaps that were given to me on the day






It is so great to get very different ideas that then inspire to create new things.

Next week I will be holding my first event - a crop that will have demonstrations on scrapbooking, card making and a 3D project. We (myself and my friend Aly) have 22 ladies booked so I am going to be very busy finishing off things for that. We are also giving the ladies lunch so I need to prepare quiches, cheese scones and cakes.

Lovely as a tree

Image
Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
