About Me

My Photo
I joined Particraft as a demonstrator in April 2008 and am also an independent demonstrator for Creative Expressions. I have a passion for cardmaking and have been teaching at workshops for the past 5 years including on cruise ships. There is nothing to compare with the thrill of seeing someone complete a project after they have told you that they haven't an artistic bone in their body! It's a great hobby that anyone of any age can enjoy. I'm married to Steve who almost understands my addiction to craft as he's addicted to his guitars. Between us, we have 4 grown up children and 3 grandchildren. I run workshops at my home and am also starting a craft club in September 2010. If anyone would like details of the workshops please e-mail me at stephen.smith870@ntlworld.com

All Ready for the Workshop!


Can't believe how organised I am! I've got everything ready for the weekend workshop and can't wait to get going. I keep thinking that I must have forgotten something but if I have, I sure can't remember what it was!! Never certain if I'm having a "senior moment!"
The craft club started last night and those that could make it enjoyed it (I think). We just messed around with Distress Inks and did some basic stamping techniques so thank you to Megan and Nicky, see you next week!

Here's another sample I made for Ally Pally. I just love this set of stamps so you'll probably get fed up with seeing them! I made a collage background after colouring a piece of white card with watered down Distress Ink in Dusty Concord and Broken China.
I stamped the pear with the same inks and heat embossed then distressed around the edges. I managed to make 5 samples today which wasn't bad as I also had to go and teach a class at the residential home in the village!
My gorgeous, lovely, wonderful, generous, kind hubby has booked me a ticket to go to the Tim Holtz workshop next February. I was number 17 on the waiting list so didn't think that I stood much of a chance but got the e-mail to confirm my place today....yipee!!!!! Bring on that Distress Ink!!!
Well, better go and do something useful like vacuuming...what a glamorous life I lead! Don't forget that Sue has a lot of shows on Create and Craft over the next few days. She has some amazing samples on her blog. So until next time........keep crafting!
