The last of the love for awhile (me thinks)

Just a quick post as I promised my work morning tea & I have blueberries muffins to bake. Though looking at the time now they may have to wait until tomorrow night!

I run out of broadband (again) & it's impossible to post or view blogs without it in case any of you have missed me. I'm allowed to change my plan on March 5 so after this date I'll be able to change my allowance plus it'll be cheaper.

These are the last of the projects we made at my Valentine's classes last week:

Peek-a-boo treat holder using A Happy Heart & Lots of Dots jumbo wheel

& inside the yummy chocolate heart from The Chocolate Boutique in Parnell


Another Chocolate Treat (this time done in red)


and last but not least a masculine Valentine's card that I cased directly from my upline's card class I attended a week earlier


Stamp set: A Happy Heart; Polka Dot Punches, Sanded (though I used Distressed in my class)
Paper: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White
Ink: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip
Other: Chocolate Chip 1" double-stitched ribbon, crimper, crop-a-dile, jumbo eyelets, designer label punch, sponge daubers, a tiny weeny bit of Dazzling diamonds glitter (remember it's for a man), whisper white envelope

This is a very clever card - it's actually 2 cards in one! This is the inside of the top wee card:


And this is the inside of the larger bottom card:


So I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, mine's been great: Top Gear the live show Friday night, helping out at the Hamilton extravaganza (exhausting but have some new ideas), Slum Dog Millionaire at the movies Saturday night (DO GO AND SEE IT). Today demo training & visiting my family. Plus I did get some red roses that were actually chocolates - mmm & best of all Pete fixed my broken driver's door. So me very happy.

Team training continued...

Just a real quick post to share the swaps from the team training the other night. I had to laugh it was the first thing the girls wanted to do when they walked in my door even more important than playing with chocolate - the theme was to use a Sale-A-Bration set if you had it.

So Clare & me played along & Debbie made a really cool tag card which is just such an awesome idea to use up those scraps of designer paper lying on your desk.

from Clare using Botanical Blooms:


from Debbie using those "scraps of Afternoon Tea DSP"


and my effort I cased this from Tracy Harp on SCS - when I saw hers I thought what a cool tree! I knew you could punch the flower out in the SAB Polka Dot Punches set but hadn't realised that this stamp Tracy/I've used could also be punched with the scallop circle punch (duh) - this would make a really cool tree on a scrap book page too. I added the wee bird from Live Your Dream stamp set too

So even though we're small a great effort by all & hopefully the whole team maybe able to make the next meeting plus we have a new team member Sally Williams from Massey East - so a BIG welcome to the WOW paperKRafters to increase our ranks.
