TWO GROOVI SESSIONS

             I have had a busy few days attending some workshops, they all seemed to come along at similar times and I was determined to try and fit them all in.  The first one was last Thursday, which happened to be my Birthday. I went along to a lovely little craft shop at Rosliston Forestry Centre called Kraftitz. Hazel Edwards was running the workshop and a lovely lady called Julie is the shop owner.  There were only eight of us due to space limitations but it was a great morning. Hazel had a couple of lovely projects for us to do first of all a card and then a little gift bag. Kept us busy for the morning, I took along some cakes to help the energy levels and destroy the diets.  
                                                                                       

                       The card we did. There are some slight changes on mine as I wanted a little bit of gridwork on it. This one was made using   Tina's Christmas corners 2.   There are so many elements on these plates to use. 

                                                

                              
                             Just a little closer look at some of the detail.
                                           

             

                    The second project was a little gift bag. It did not take too long to complete but is very effective. Brilliant for those little gifts, you could also make a matching gift tag.

                     The light is reflecting off the backing making it look crinkled but in reality it is not.

                Then on Saturday I went along with Hazel and her husband Steve to Little Wenlock in Shropshire for another workshop. They also gave a lift to two more ladies, Dee and Linda. Poor Steve in a car full of women, he survived the experience though. We made another card and gift bag and although I can show you the card I had a mishap with my gift bag when I was putting the glitter on it. Knocked the bottle of sticky ink over it, so annoying. 

                         This one is made from the Christmas corners 1   again by Tina Cox.

                 
                                   A little bit of grid work, just embossed but there was a lot of laughter as dots were put in the wrong place. Can't put a butterfly on a Christmas card so I reckon there a lot of snowflakes being added. 
     

     
                   

                 I finished off the weekend by going to a stamping workshop run by Maria Moorhouse on the Sunday and I will show you that project another time when I have finished it. 

                    Hope you like these cards, my Christmas card pile is growing. xx
