Easy Easel cards

I'm really enjoying teaching regular classes again. My friend Lynn has recently bought Grimsby Crafts and I am now on my 4th week of teaching! I was a bit unsure whether or not to get back into teaching regular classes but I am pleased I accepted. The ladies on the classes have been so much fun and very friendly. Dawn even makes the drinks for me!!!!!!!! Mind you, I think that's so she knows she will be able to drink it if she makes her own!!!!

These are similar to the cards we will be making in class this week. Easel cards are quite easy to make, but very effective. Images are from Crafty Individuals.

These photo's just show the front of the cards.

I've got a couple more almost done, using papers from my stash.



My craft room is almost sorted now, at long last. I have so much stuff to sell on ebay, but will be contacting my friends before I list it. Lots of bargains to be had!

I smiled at the thought of your wardrobe full of inks and glimmer sprays and paper. It is a good feeling, to tidy, but I have not made anything since.

Have a lovely evening
