I am organising a workshop weekend with the wonderful Hels Sheridan. We have 16 very talented ladies coming to play next weekend in Middlesbrough. Very excited as this is the first time Hels has been this far up North teaching. I had to meet up with her to pick up supplies last weekend and it seemed like a really good idea to meet at the Craft Den in Sheffield were Hels was teaching an Altered Box workshop. The Craft Den is a wonderful crafting heaven owned by the lovely Lynn. Whilst I was there it would have been rude not to take the class at the same time, wouldn't it? Well that's my excuse.
Below is what we made, as per normal I didn't finish it in the class but at home and I love it. I am going to enter this in the Simon says stamp and show challenge as this week it is all about green. http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.co.uk/

Next up............
One of my colleagues children is away at the moment in France on a School trip, so I have made her a little memory book for when she comes back. I love paper bag books they are so easy to make and can be made for any occasions for sure.

Until the next time, take care

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Love, love, love. You've inspired me to have a go at the tray I bought earlier in the year. I may not get round to it this weekend, I'm a little busy. I like the darker outsides to yours. The bag book is such a lovely gift. Debbie
ReplyDeleteLove your altered box. The green background is so striking with the black stamping on top of it. I recognize so many of Tim's stamps that you've used on this. Love them all! Great elements that you've added to the compartments, too. Thanks for sharing your art with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
