Here are a few photo's of a class in progress which I will be teaching at Grimsby Crafts. They will eventually be part of a 'star book', one of my all time requested classes. In all I have taught 9 different starbooks, I still have the samples and it is really interesting to see how my style has changed from very dark and grungy to pale, floral and vintage/shabby. Must be an age thing eh?
The papers are double sided Je t'adore by Making Memories. I have used lots of Nestabilities and Marianne cutting dies, coupled with various embossing folders.
Not always in the way they are meant to be used, as I like to try to think a bit outside the box.
Lots of distressing resulting in some very messy fingers.
Some little pockets and tags, all ready for stamping and embellishing.
I have finally used some of my new 'babies' fro Crafty Individuals. I received the stamps ages ago but with so much going on have only just found spare time to play. I decided to make a few ATC's, here's the first one using plate CI-296. The sentiment is from CI-292.
The three below use images and sentiments from CI-292.
These two 'mens' cards are from plates CI-295 (boats) and CI297 (birds).
The friendship sentinment on the bird card is from plate CI-277 and the background is CI-213.
I'll leave you with these two acetate cards using BasicGrey papers, and CI images. Will be back soon with more of the star book.Sue x

Wow, wow and wow again, what fantastic work, all so different but stunning, love them all so much can't choose which I like the best, they are all gorgeous. xx
Oh Sue, it is lovely to see you blogging again. All of this work is amazing and so beautiful. I love everything you do.
(Thank you kindly for your comment on my blog.)
You make me want to go back into my room and make something else. I love CI stamps. I never did get the last lot you used, the ones with door.., but I am due to order ...I love all their products and their stamps are that bit different.
Thanks for the inspiration! I don't have Nestabilities etc, I am low tech and quite like the challenge of being so...that's why my things are all wobbly and uneven, completely imperfect.
Can't wait for your next posting.
Wish I could come to the workshop!!!!

Hi
Beautiful as always xxx
I was only just thinking about you and came across this in my reader!!
Great to see you back!!!
I absolutely adore those images of the children with the star in the middle one. These are all just beautiful!!!
And you class looks lovely too!
Have fun!
So glad to have you back Sue. I wondered where you had gone. Internet can be such a pain in the bottom sometimes and they still charge the earth for it.
I adore the starbook, such beautiful colours. My style has changed so much too. I had a thing for brights, graphic(never pulled it off) and I have seemed to settled on a style I love now. My stash reflects these differnt styles too so maybe it is time I had a clear out!!
Have a lovely weekend.
xx
Gorgeous crafting Sue. Love your sneaky peaks. Have fun with the star books. Wishing you a great Sunday. Gez.xx
