I forgot.

With all stuff which goes with the lead up to Christmas I forgot about posting some of the cards I made with the Sarah's Cards November kit. So here's just a few of them now.

In case I don't get a chance to post again this side of Christmas,

I'd like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas.

so basically we want to see your creations for any type of celebrations, including birthdays. 

I've made a bottle neck tag using a Mo Manning image and just added the

I even scrapped

Whilst at the Sarah's Cards retreat last weekend i actually scrapped!! I snatched time between assisting in classes, working the till and calling the bingo to do just one page over the whole weekend. This is actually the first page i've done since March, (expect for doing my sample page for Jen's class). I really enjoyed doing this page and absorbed some creative vibes from the talent around me.
The papers i've used are from American Crafts - Chap range.

There are still a few spaces left for our next retreat in March, but i don't think they will be be around much longer.

Sarah's Cards Retreat November 2011

We've just had the 3rd Sarah's Cards retreat in Warrington over the weekend. It was a fabulous weekend, spend with an amazing bunch of ladies. Although it was very tiring i loved every minute. Think i'm suffering jet lag after travelling so far up North. :)
Check out this post over on the Sarah's Cards blog for some photos of the weekend, and keep your eyes peeled for some pictures of the class layouts that are coming soon.
This year our charity was the Alzheimer's Society which is very close to both Sarah's and my hearts. Lots of money was raised through raffling off a gorgeous quilt made by Sarah, the charity table and also from a card class i did, which £2 from each kit sold went to the charity.
Here's  the cards, that were part of the class i taught. I think i was aiming a little high to think we would get anywhere completing three cards in an hour, but most people finished them off in the crop room.
