I am a working mum of three very untidy children. Although not sure if 18 still qualifies as a child? but then again from their actions its a yes! I really enjoy most crafts and tend to be enthusiastic but not always competent!!

How bad am I????

Saturday, March 28, 2009

I have not blogged for ages and this time its not due to work but I have been having real problems with Blogger. I haven't been able to get to all of my "Dashboard" and parts of it have been un editable ( ok not a real word!) and I have no idea why its now working. My technical expertise has been shaking the computer and slamming the lid occasionally (hope no-one from my IT department reads this......)

Whilst I haven't been blogging I have however become a StampinUp demonstrator and am quite excited. I have bought some stuff but am yet to host a workshop - need to find a friend!!. I have also attended some team training down in Fareham last Saturday and it was a great day. Learned lots, met some nice people, laughed lots, and made some lovely stuff. Thanks to Amanda for great organisation.


As part of the day we where given "homework" and this post is my effort!. We have until tomorrow night to submit so I can't believe that I have completed well before a minute to go.... wish the rest of my life was this organised!!!!


We were given Certain Celery, Whisper White & yellow (not sure of the SU colour) card & some of the lovely So Saffron ribbon from the Mini catalogue and were allowed to card one other colour card only. So no embellies or papers ( which was great as I don't possess any...... yet.....!)


I made a tag card and used Brocade Basic stamp set which I substituted in my SU starter pack and I think its a very versatile set and am loving using it

I also used Close to Cocoa , Certain Celery, & More Mustard ink. I really love the way everything co-ordinates & tones so well. This is fab for someone like me who struggles with colour

I enjoyed doing this and was surprised how quickly it was to do - I just hope that I don't get a "D".......

Have a lovely Sunday.

This is gorgeous Sue and gorgeoud colours too. (The matching/coordinating colour scheme is what I love most about SU). Just sent mine off to Amanda soon. Good Luck!
