GJWTHF - the projects

As promised, I'm back with the details of the project that I did at GJWTHF on Saturday. As you all know by know, my speciality is Promarkers so this is what we made...

The cream textured cardstock is available in 12x12 from The Papeterie
Butterflies CG130 (for the background) and Stencil Flower CG194 from Hero Arts, also available at The Papeterie. The flower image was coloured with Walnut, Cocoa, Cinnamon and Almond promarkers.
Kaisercraft brads
Calendar tabs are Anita's, card candy from Craftwork Cards and MS PATP corner punch


Now if you pop over and see Kath for the details of her gorgeous project, and Anne will be posting the details of her project too.

Simply Sassy Calendar

I'm not one to make New Year Resolutions, but I have decided that I'm going to try my best to enter a select few challenge blogs on a regular basis this year. So of course The Sugar Bowl has to be top of that list of selected challenges as where would I be without my favourite Sugar Nellie stamps.


I made this calendar yesterday for the SFL teacher who runs the Lego Club that Scott goes to. Scott absolutely loves going, and I think every school/community should have a Lego Club. Anyway, she was over the moon with it.

Papers are Cosmo Cricket Earth Love, cardstock is all core'dinations, lace from Angel Crafts, card candy from Craftwork Cards
Here's a close-up to show you the image in more detail and also the embossed panel under it.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
The Sugar Bowl - sketch plus embossing
The Crafty Calendar Challenge - new beginnings (new year)
Cupcake Craft Challenges - something new (new year)

Calendar gifts

You maybe remember me telling you that I had a bit of a mad dash on the evening before the last day of school before the xmas holidays - where I was trying to make wee treat bags for all the teachers. In the end it was a bit of a wasted effort because I couldn't get our great lump of a car out of the drive anyway due to the snow. So... seeing as I had a little more time, I decided to make little desk calendars for each of the teachers - I still have to make another one for the additional needs teacher who is in charge of the Lego Club that Scott goes to (but he's not there til Monday, so I have a bit of breathing space.) 


I decided to give the Wild Sprouts from The Greeting Farm an airing as they haven't seen the light of day in ages and I've missed colouring them.
This first 2 are for Willow's class teacher and the SFL assistant that looks after her...

so let's hope the teachers like them. Which one is your favourite?
Oh, and can I just apologise for the crappy pics, it was far too dark by the time I finished them this afternoon to take them in daylight and I couldn't be bothered rigging up the mini photo studio, so I just sat them on my desk in front of my laptop.
