Training and Projects

Today I was in Norfolk training and wow how pretty is Norfolk? It is gorgeous!! The training went great and the sunny drive home through Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire was a delight. Just wish I had had enough time to pull the car over and take some snaps.... maybe next time!

I also wanted to share a couple of projects with you
I adore this fancy Pants paper, the pattern is just gorgeous, I also used the Wizard for the lettering and ribbon and brads.... well it would be rude not too wouldn't it!

Products used:
Fancy Pants Charming 12 x 12 paper
Wizard Die - Vintage Alphabet
Fancy Pants Sassy Buttons
Fancy Pants Key Lime Ribbon
Brads - Baby Pink Set

And here is a double page LO I did the other day - very pink and girly!Products used:
Fancy Pants Delicious 12 x 12 paper
Marine 12 x 12 Cardstock
Fancy Pants Bella Brush Acrylic Stamps Set
Fancy Pants 6 x 6 Acrylic Block
Adirondack White Paint Dabber
Worn Lipstick Distress Ink Pad
Fancy Pants Frou Frou Rub Ons
Fancy Pants Free Spirit Rub Ons
Fancy Pants Mulberry Road Die Cuts
Fancy Pants Sweet Pea Die Cuts

It is not very often I do a double page layout but I also did not want to squash all this onto one 12 x 12 page, sometimes LO's just cry out for more room and this one did exactly that and let's face it who am I to argue?!

Training

Ok so the start was not quite as planned with the torrential rain and the traffic problems on the M25 but once we were all together it was fab and guess what..... eclairs! Oh bless Michelle for reading my blog the night before and blessing us with that little pressy - yes big smiles all round!
So with training well underway, new techniques being taught and general chat about Particraft we really got into the flow
And then Lyndsay brought out her fab coloured staples!! Ohhhh I love them and bless her she gave me some!I cannot wait to use them! Also Lyndsay is going to make some Anti-static bags - I cannot wait to see them and shall post pics of them as soon as I get them.

So thank you ladies for a fab day x

Variations

Well I liked the card I did last night so much that I taught it during my craft group today, it was fab as it meant I could cover a couple of techniques too - so I thought I would share a couple of the variations I did today
This one is a colour and slight style variation and the one below was a colour and different embellishment variation

This afternoon I have been preparing for my training session tomorrow which is taking place in Surrey, I cannot wait! I also have another training day on Thursday so it is definately all go in the PartiCraft Camp, Sheena had a training session today and she informed me she got cakes! Well I would like to state here and now if any of my Demonstrators would like to make cakes you will certainly get loads of smiles, hugs and of course mentions on my blog too! And if anyone is so inclined toffee beats cake hands down!

By all accounts her training day was a great success and she even brought back a couple of cards that Lynn had made so pop on over to her blog to take a look
