A workshop day!
Hi everyone - well I am now back home after my day workshop with Sue for HSNW members. Our two projects were the two that we did for you last year - the star book & the CD case calendar. I had shown them to the committee & they then asked that we do it for the ladies. So! fortunately it meant an easier job for me to prepare as I had done it before. We did the workshop the same way as we do here for you - two sessions, swapping over at lunch time. The only difference being the numbers - there were a total of 38 ladies present so 19 each rather than 19 between us. So! I am tired - I have been home about 40 minutes & thought I would do a bit of blogging because I am sure before the evening is out I am likely to nod.
I mentioned whilst preparing for today that I had come up with an off shoot project. Because I had lots of different sized offcuts left over after cutting up the squares I had to come up with something to do with them. I have a couple of ideas of how to use them on club nights next year - so watch this space.
Here is the little project -

Here is the little project -
A little handbag calendar - although it ended up a little bigger than I intended. But I will keep it beside the computer - its a quick reference for finding the day of the week for a particular date. I coloured the card (that's how I got messy fingers!) then randomly stamped with the little cluster stamp. Added the calendar tab - dabbed it with matching ink to take away the whiteness. The back of the card had got a little messy from the colouring so I backed it with another piece of card then laminated them. Punched a hole & attached a book ring.
I made one error of judgement - the 2 layers of card were just a little too thick for the laminator to stick everywhere. But I overcame that. If I make it again I will back it with paper, & I think I will make them again.
I took some pictures at the workshop, but they will be on my personal blog - please pop over to see - but it will not happen overnight.
Have a great weekend - shame its so damp. Chat more tomorrow.
These are cute Gloria, I made something similar for a sister and friend earlier this year (after doing that class with you ) and they were a lot of fun. I used a large sizzix tag die for the base and watered-down pva to seal everything but I like the idea of laminating.
