Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a card making class with my wonderful friend Jenny (Buttons) at Indigo Blu Headquarters. It was a lovely group of ladies and we had lots of fun doing lots of paint splattering and using Indigo Blu's famous Mega Flakes. Jenny is an excellent tutor, if you ever get the chance to see Jenny demo-ing or teaching, you will not be disappointed! This is my favourite of the cards we made:
The countdown to Christmas begins tomorrow and I need to get some Christmas cards made, I think it is going to be clean and simple for me this year!! I bet most of you are a lot further on than me - I got Tim's new sleigh and reindeer die this week, on special offer from Country View Crafts at the moment and I cannot wait to use them.... but that will have to wait until I get some cards done.....sigh.
Thanks for looking and I hope to see you again soon. Hugs, Anne xx
Love you TT Anne. You always make such wonderful things and the colours on your tag are fantastic. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteFab tag Anne! Love the colour choice and your snowman-a lovely wintery combination! Strangely warm here today! Lucky you attending Jenny's workshop! Hugs Chrisx ps I'll be back later for a catch up - I seem to have missed a lot!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, love the card and the tag, the one you've done for Ali really stands out with that large board painted blue, I'm sure she will love it.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, bet the class was great, I always forget how near they are to us, must have a look at the workshops for next year. Pleased you liked the cupcake card. It does make quite a nice quick card though like you I wasn't sure about it to begin with but I have some other ideas for it. Have a lovely St. Andrew's Day and happy crafting, Angela x

ReplyDeleteLOVE your take on Tim's tag Anne. The striking blue snowman is so dramatic against the corrugated background and I love the hint of silver. Thank you so much for your kind words - I'm so pleased you enjoyed yesterday's workshop and it was great to catch up with you. All of your cards looked fantastic and it's great you've now made a start on them. Good luck with the production line and everything else you have to get done! Huge hugs, Jenny xxx

You had me sighing a lot, too, Annie, but not for the same reason. I was sighing as one in love! If there are any warts on your tags than my surgery was not a success, coz I sure can't see them! They are super gorgeous, as is your awesome card! How wonderful that you had that crafty time together!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteFabulous take on the November tag Anne. Love the use of the snowman - just wonderful! Glad you had such a great time at the workshop yesterday - love the card you have shown. No wonder it is a favourite! Enjoy the rest of the weekend x
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! Your tag is wonderful! Love the effects you achieved on the background! It looks fab and makes me wonder how it was done so I have to check Tim's tag now! :)

Anne, all I can say is: Your wart doesn't look at all like my warts do! And it doesn't look like a wart to me at all! It's lovely. What a clever thought to use the shattered folder for your snow-y inside on that pretty blue. It's very effective and I thought it was textured shiny paste until I read the post. Will have to check TH's blog to see if I can learn the how-tos, as this may be your foil. Whatever it is, very sparkling & beautiful. Loved the corrugated paper with the blues added. It's a fantastic tag, and you should be very proud of it! Lucky you at taking the Indigo Blu class. The class card is just awesome. Doubt this class will ever be available near me, but it looked like one that would be right down your alley way of talent. Glad that you had fun and got to be with a good craft buggy. TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are having fun with Jenny and it is always nice to share that time with friends. I adore your snowman tag, love the cutout with the texture in the middle, awesome!! The card you made is beautiful, those techniques make your creations stunning.
ReplyDeleteHugs xoxo, Kelly
Hi Anne!! Your November Tim Tag is soooo fun!!! LOVE the blues you've used :) I like blues for Christmas :) Love the mounted tag you made for your friend Ali, too! :) OMG--How lucky you are to be able to take classes with Jenny!! The card you made is so pretty :) XOXO-Shari
ReplyDeleteI always love to see that Snowman die get a turn to play.... and you've done him proud!
ReplyDeleteI see no warts Anne, just a lovely tag.

ReplyDeleteMr Snowman looks swell (swell! I do believe I have stepped into a 1940s movie LOL). Great texture and then the card, wow, of course you are pleased with the results. A beautiful card rich in texture and design.
