Sorry I haven't posted for a long time but I've been a bit under the weather and off work for a few weeks, During that time I was unable to do much but watch day time tv. But I'm now well on the mend and feeling a lot better.
I held my monthly class yesterday and I must say having the girls around did cheer me up no end.
One of the projects we made was a double tri-fold scrapbook using the Christmas jingle kit. So now they don't have any excuse for not getting this years Christmas photos in to a scrapbook. I have done another version using photos from my weekend away in Benidorm with the girls from work (my day job is a phlebotomist at the local hospital) to celebrate my birthday way back in October. Just to show you that you can put as many photos as you like in it. Anybody wishing to join us for next months class I have a few places left so drop me a email. and I'll send you all the details of what we'll be making in class

I made this card for my friend Vickie it's her Birthday tomorrow. I used the stamps I got free from Sale-a-bration for the front panel. As she loves cake I think she should like it.

This was one of the projects that we made in last month's class
The exploding box opened up to reveal a smaller box inside

which when opened had a butterfly in it. Or you could change this for a small present in the space or a few chocolates if you wish.
