From a mess to this..............

On Monday I was working hard to design some projects for team training that same night.  I always work well under pressure...hehe if I tell myself that I just about manage not to go into full blown panic..........

Here is my original mess and a little sneak peak of one of the projects.

 

 

Well my mess resulted in these two projects.

 

 

 

The little box was made using the envelope punchboard and holds a bar of chocolate.  The box is held closed with some stretch trim ruffled ribbon, and makes a wonderful little gift for someone.

 

The card uses the stamp set Happy Watercolour and the splodge is in a new colour called Mossy Meadow which will join us as an In Colour in the new 2014-2015 annual catalogue.  The ribbon is also a new addition as well, called Lost Lagoon, and in the centre of the butterfly is a dash of Blackberry Bliss.  Stampin'Up! have many new treats in store for us in the new catalogue, so do make sure you keep watching my blog and joining me on my facebook page caroonstampin.  I will be sharing new products and my projects via these two sources.  Please share these with your friends and family and spread the word.



Extravaganza photo's a little late................

Hi

I called into see my mum and dad yesterday and she said she had been checking my blog to see what we had made at extravaganza last weekend.......I don't know where the week has gone but hey presto we are at Friday again.

I have family coming to dinner this evening, but things are organised so I thought I would take a minute to post.

I had 15 ladies join me last Saturday as well as my friend Nancy who comes along to mann the refreshments for me.  Nancy comes along to all my classes to do this, so a huge thank you to her; and also HUGE thanks to my mum who made a wonderful selection of homemade cakes for me.

We have 3 sessions at extravaganza

Session 1 was this lovely decorated mirror

Here is the close up of the flowers

We used the floral framelits, the flower punch and the rose spiral die to create the different shaped flowers.  The centres are a combination of rolled stretch trim ribbon and cardstock cut with the fringe scissors.  Some burlap ribbon is just layered under the flowers.

Now session 2 was a box to put the mirror in, a card and a treat holder.

 

 

 



Our last session of the day was 3 cards.....

It was a fun filled day enjoyed by everyone.  I do apologise for the picture quality, they are all ok in my picture folder, but become blurry when I download them.  If you have any suggestions I would be really grateful. X
