INSD 2019 - International Scrapbook Day

4th May 2019 is International Scrapbook Day and I attended a class at the INSD Retreat ran by Cal Summers to do a scrapbook layout, so I thought I would share it with you all 

Here is the layout 

I absolutely loved doing this class and I am so pleased with how my layout turned out, I used a photo of me and my hubby to be which was taken at Alton Towers a few years ago. 

The layout consisted of lots of fussy cutting, getting some of the paper wet and then scrunching it all up :O :O noooooo, but the effect it gives the paper is worth it, even when holes and tears appeared in it, and adding dimension to it, the papers we used in this class were 13 Arts, there is even some chipboard hidden in the layout which we painted in colours to compliment the layout, to finish the layout off we also got to pick some die cut words from the Happiness collection.

I absolutely love taking part in the crop, classes and retreats ran by Cal, she is amazing and has become a wonderful friend who has helped my confidence so much you can check out Cal's classes and more on her website >>> HERE<<<<. I highly recommend everything Cal offers.

Saturday's Stationery Gift Box Class

Hi all.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend mine was very busy.

So on Saturday I headed out to the monthly crop I attend but this month was different, this time I wasn't doing my own thing crafting away and chatting with everyone there I was teaching. YAY!!

The class I did was to make a beautiful Stationery Gift Box and contents, I had five ladies attending the class two of the ladies picked the Coffee Cafe design and three of the ladies picked the Floral Phrases design.

This is an example of what they were going to make in the class, including decoration, tags, 3x3 cards and 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 cards.

The class went amazingly well and I am super chuffed with all who attended the class they all did amazingly well and each one was stunning.

I thought I would share some pictures with you all of the class in action and the end result.

Now for a group photo of the ladies with their Stationery Gift Box

Seeing the smiles on their faces says it all, to know you have lead the class and shown the attendees how to do something is the greatest feeling ever and I absolutely loved teaching these lovely ladies. 

Each one of the really enjoyed the class we had plenty of chatting and giggles along the way which made for such a wonderful relaxed class which is exactly how I like it to be.
