........and a Card!

For those of you that look forward to making a card in class, here it is:

How's that for a cheery, springtime message; perfect for a dear friend! See the pretty vellum background? You'll be making that (with the help of a Martha Stewart AOTP punch)! Everything else is in your kits so nothing extra to bring/add for this one.

Righto... see you very very soon! xxx

PAPER-CUTS May 2013 Layout Two!

As promised... second layout for the day:

Sorry that the lighting's not the best and in fact, the shot is a little blurry, but I wanted to get it loaded tonight for you! This one features a small 1 3/4" photo - simply punched out of a larger 6x6 one. When choosing your snap, be sure that there is somewhere within the shot that'll make sense as a small circular photo!!

I'm really pleased with this layout; be warned, it looks fairly minimal but actually took a fair amount of time to create! Don't worry - if you feel like missing some of the intricacies out, I think it would still have quite a lot of impact.

The only things I've added which you may wish to bring along are some small word stickers. Mine are from Authentique - they do loads of different ones... you've even got time for a little shopping before class lol! Of course, you have your alpha stickers in the kit, which would do just as fina a job.

P.S. If anybody happens to own a 2" circle punch and one slightly larger to create a mount, do please bring them along - it'll save a queue for the Silhouette!

PAPER-CUTS May 2013

Hello girls! You'll be pleased to know that I'm getting a LITTLE more organised.... here's our first layout:

The kit is Gorgeous with a capital G this month; lots of fun, up to date colours and collections. We'll be using the Silhouette to create the hearts, as always, the obligatory stamping (!) and notice those cute mist splatters? You're all going to get proficient at that too!!
I've added a few lovely bits and pieces for this layout: canvas cameras, rub-ons and washi tape. Though we do get a sheet of small alpha tiles in our kits this month, I'm afraid you'll have to supply your own larger alphas if you would like your title to look similar to mine!
OK... layout two coming up later this pm! Hope you like! xxx

Thanks For Your Patience... Here We Go!

OK peeps... two layouts for you to consider, as per the norm! Take a look at number 1:

As I said - the kit has lovely rich colours this month - quite rustic too I'd say, so bare that in mind when you pick your photos. I've added many many polaroid frames to your kits to achieve the pretty cluster  - here's a close up:

Second up; something very 'graphic' for you to work on:

This bold style seems to be very in trend at the moment, so I have to keep you up to speed hey?? We'll be cutting out the arrows with the Silhouette machine from your papers. And the journalling? Well, tht's hidden behind the photo, so you can make it as personal as you like!

Remember to bring that faithful alpha sheet we received in our kits two months ago; I've used them in both layouts - they're still going strong!

Now, lastly... I going to promise to TRY and create a card to give you the instructions for, but I still have the write up's from these two to complete... and I'm a tad er... how shall I put it... knackered (!), so please don't be too disappointed if I don't achieve what I hope!!! xxx

PAPER-CUTS April 2013

Hello everyone! As some of you know, I'm a proper working gal now! I will, of course be continuing with our classes (how could I not?!), but until I get myself a little more organised, please bare with me! I will be posting the layouts/projects before class this month, but it may be Friday.
In the mean time, you can see the kit by clicking HERE and I will post the two photos I will be using for the two layouts below. both are square (3"x3"). If you don't print at home, but wish to have the same finished layouts as mine, simply choose a couple of photos that you can crop down!

As you can see, the photo colours are quite 'autumnal', as the papers in the kits this month are very rich in colour.
Ok - I promise to be in touch very soon! Hugs to all. xxx

PAPER-CUTS March 2013 Final Project

Hi guys - sorry for my tardiness! Here's our last project this month:

Killing two birds with one stone here; it's Connie's birthday tomorrow, so after giving her this card, I'll be taking it straight back for the day as our example lol! She won't know though...she'll be at school ;-)

This card comes together very quickly. The blue paper is perfect for making a card specific for a member of your family - simply pick the piece with the relevant relative on it!!

The only extras you can bring (if you have them, otherwise fear not - they will be here for your use!) is 3D foam pads and extra tacky tape.

Looking forward to seeing you all! xxx

PAPER-CUT March 2013 Layout Two

Here's layout two for this month:

I simply LOVE this photo of Connie! Lots of stamping on this one (surprise surprise!), as well as some creativity with texture paste; hmmmmm, am I mad letting you lot loose with that stuff?!?!

Again, I've used the alpha sheet from last month's kit - so you really do need to remember to bring it with you! 

Hope you like! xxx
