Last Weeks class

I just got reminded that I did not post last weeks cards that we created in our Wednesday and Friday classes. Sorry for those that have been hanging out for them. I got a little distracted with family things and I must say exciting things. We have been planning a trip to Canada and dates have now been set, yay!!

So here are the cards that I neglected to show you. The first one we embossed and then used an Aqua painter to colour a few of the raised petals. the Swirly embellishment was trimmed and we will use it on another card.

Stamping as a background on the base card makes a very easy background don't you think?

I know this is a very old stamp set, but I still love it and felt it deserved to be played with.

I don't think I showed the cards we made for the previous class either, oops. Here they are.

The last few classes

 Life has been a bit hectic lately and even though the regular card classes have been going on I have not had time to show any of our creations. So hopefully today you can see what we have been up to and I should now be back on track to post each week on our classes.

We did one on borders. Sometimes a border can be created just using a mask and sponging around the edge.

 Then of course is the Mitred border that everyone thinks is so hard when really it is easy peasy.

A border can also be placed just on one side. Love this Harvest stamp set, it creates quite a lovely side border.

Wow I am overwhelmed

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am overwhelmed with peoples generosity. It just blows me away to see people rally around when they are asked to do something for charity. This afternoon I met 2 new lovely ladies that answered my request for help making cards for the first time. One of them came with some cards for me and the other with some yummy bikkies. Thanks Kathy and Rae.

It was a full room and everyone got busy making their cards and then finally making some envelopes. 75 cards, wow how about that. Also Nikki a friend of mine bought a huge bag of cards that she had made. I am so grateful for all the lovely generous people.

These are a few of the cards we made today.

 These are my lovely ladies that came and helped me.

I have now boxed up all the cards for North Queensland Rural Family Services. The final count that will be going to them is 240 cards and envelopes. I will pass these on to one of the ladies from Quota International of Carindale to deliver.

 

My other charities have not been forgotten, because of the help I have had, the cards that I take to Ronald McDonald House each month will be delivered next week. They will be thrilled as usual at getting another huge box of these beauties. I may even have enough left for Redlands Hospital. Stay tuned for some more days of card making, probably in July and I will start working on some Christmas ones.
