Last class

Cute elephant and balloons were done using Kaisercraft clear stamps and the Cuttlebug embossing folder gives a nice textured background.  Similar to the card we made last week at Crafts-U-Love - thank's for the idea girls!

This background uses toning 2" strips of paper which has been torn, distressed and rolled - quick and easy to do and you can have so many different looks depending on your papers, embellishments and sentiments.  The words are from a HeroArts sentiments collection

Don't you just love these 'Wrinklies' stamps from Dimensionfourth?  They certainly make me chuckle! I have a 'Beach' set too and look forward to trying them out soon.

Says it all really! Those Basic Grey papers on the card below are ideal for men and boys cards and the name of the collection is inspired - Aged and Confused! My other favourite words are 'My back goes out more often than I do' and 'Don't let things get you down, its hard to get up again'  or how about 'No more tension, where's my pension'?

Had my last class at Carshalton yesterday.  Bit quiet as only 5 could make it.  So certainly left with not so much a bang, but a whimper!  Sad and less than memorable end to an interesting 8 years of doing weekly classes there.  Made some good friends over the years and I'll post the odd Make-and-Take so they don't suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
