Sarah's Cards March 2012 retreat.

This weekend was the 4th Sarah's Cards retreat and I must say it was fantastic as always.
I feel a little jet lagged today after the trip up north, but would do it all again tomorrow.
This time I was a 'proper' teacher, and I think most attendees liked my class.
This is the layout I taught, using chalk inks to get a misting effect and lots of layering of stickers as embellishment clusters.

This is my favorite photo from the weekend, it's the whole group, including a guest appearance from the hotels white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.

There are lots more photos on our blog and also on our facebook page here.

Not that I want to wish my life away but I really can't wait for the next one!

The day they said I do.

Saturday was my Niece's wedding day, and what a beautiful day it was. The whole thing was held in a local hotel and the whole day was perfect. They did the best first dance I have ever seen, hopefully the video will be uploaded on Facebook so I can share it the video is now on Facebook.
 As I mentioned before I did a few bits and pieces for the couple, like the invites, place name cards (butterflies) and the table plan. I also did a candy buffet for them, including a Vimto lollipop tree, which was a great hit with both young and old.

The pageboys (age 2 & 6) weren't keen on wearing their suits at first, but both love Lego, so we bought these cute little grooms to stick onto their buttonholes, which did the trick and there were no getting dressed tantrums.

Here's a snap of the happy couple, just grabbing a quiet moment to themselves. I would love to know what the groom was saying to his beautiful bride.

And finally this is the card I made the happy couple.

Sarah's Cards February kit.

Sorry for the lack of posting here, but apart from my Sarah's Cards DT work, I'm not doing any other crafting except for doing lots of bits for my Nieces wedding which is next month.

This months Sarah's Cards kit is now arriving with the subscribers and features the gorgeous  Authentique - Splendid range of papers.

Here's just a few of the cards I made with this months kit.

Sarah's Cards January kit.

The January kit from Sarah's Cards has started arriving with the subscribers, so now i can share just a few of the cards i made with it.

Sarah's Cards December kit.

I can't  believe it's been almost a month since i posted, i hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and i know it's late but, happy new year!
Just before Christmas the Sarah's Cards December kits were sent out to subscribers. Here's a few of the cards i made with the kit.

There is still a kit available for single purchase here, so if your suffering with the January blues,  why not cheer yourself up and grab it, or better still start subscribing and give yourself a treat every month.

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.
