Midweek and it is workshops in Stockport, Cheshire..

Good morning all, do hope your week is going well....it is a manic but very enjoyable one for me with workshops in three parts of the U.K.....Wales last Saturday, England yesterday and Scotland this Saturday...

As I say busy but so enjoyable...I really wouldn't change it for the world....I feel really blessed that I am able to meet so many wonderful people...

Back to yesterday...and we had a very seasonal class and focused on Autumn....

Have you any of the leafy stencils from Clarity? Well there are quite a few and they are just perfect for backgrounds and quick cards....

This was made using distress inks and the mini blending tool....

The Wee Folk stamps are great for this type of design ....

Just look what the ladies made.....

Such fabulous designs....and all different....I just love them all...

Next we brought into play this wonderful little Maple Leaf set of stamps...

It is great with Distress ink blending...

But looks equally as good when randomly stamped with Adirondack inks..

I love the sentiment that comes in the set too....

Ladies your work is fab...

And everyone finished every card....yah....( mentioning no names...whoops sorry Chrissie....xx)

Now because we have been crafting together for oh my....over three years now , we have quite a few....well let's call them in house jokes...

One of our ladies........has a thing about a certain Christmas design with camels on it....honestly you had to be there....it is always coming up in conversation....she even made me a special camel card last year....

Well look what she brought me yesterday...

A present from her holidays...

Thank you Eileen....I love him.....

It was another day full of crafting, good friends and lots of laughter....

Thanks for everything ladies....

Must get on now....so much to do...I need to have everything ready to hit the road tomorrow morning....

Glasgow get ready...

Have a great weekend all...and I will see you soon...

Love and hugs...
