Happy New Year to everyone looking in,
Well I got my cricut out of its box and had a go at cutting, found the instructions easy to follow and managed to cut lots of different shapes, the gypsy was harder, but after a few goes at registering it on cricut, I managed to sort it out, and upload the 5 free cartridges, so my next class shall be full of interesting extras. I have found some new designs to get the year off to a very creative start
Have a great 2011
love Yvonne

Hi to everyone looking in, That was some storm last night, the weather has turned to rain, and I for one are really glad of it, I have cabin fever, as I have hardly seen a soul since the second snow fall, What are you all up to ?.
I have been playing about with my blog adding changes, and some Christmassy music, which I should of done earlier, and a new photo slide show of some more recent makes, I got a cricut and gypsy before I had my operation, and haven't even opened it, so over the next few days I will start playing, as I have a class planned for the 19th of January and would love some new embellishments on the class cards.
hope your all well,
love Yvonne

I am really sorry to have to tell you that the
Kilcoole Craft Club's
Christmas Party is CANCELLED
Due to the recent bad weather, we have decided to postpone out Christmas Party until the new year, with freezing conditioned, I feel it would be to dangerous to drive home,
We can choose a new date at our next Club meeting in January.

Details for our Christmas Party Night have been added to the Club Page HERE

Hi Ladies here are the cards we made at my class today

This card was named the present card, as you can see we wrapped ribbon around the front and back of the card to look like a wrapped gift, the image shows you the card flat. we  added poinsettias to the front and the bow at the back, this card would look lovely sitting in front of a mirror, the main decoupage is from Crafts-u-print.

This is a large Easel card, made with 3 sheets of A4 card
the rest has some lovely snowflake punched shapes and gems,
the main image has a 3D bell and is from Crafts-u-print.

This was the easiest card we made today,
it has a lovely punched detail to the blue matting layer which is layered on silver card. and some white ribbon wrapped around the blue panel, its finished off with 2 four loop bows. the beautiful scalloped robin image is again from crafts-u-print. and its hard to see in the picture.

This was my favourite card today it took ages to complete, as there was so much cutting out to do, its an acetate encased collage Stepper card, with a beautiful winter scene enclosed in the acetate card.  all images are clipart, and the front is finished with santa on his sleigh being pulled by 3 gold raindeer,
there are snow covered christmas trees on the back step, houses on the second step, and you stick the acetate to the 1st step, and also to the back of the card, We decorated the acetate with peel-off corners and boarders and tiny glitter stars, we hid the glue on the 1st step and the back step, with our greetings, and added a small insert to the back step with the message.
