October Card Class – Teacher appreciation and Halloween October 16, 2012

Unfortunately I cancelled my card class for September. It was for a good reason though – I attended our school market as a stall holder! What fun that was! And from there I have applied and been accepted to attend the Ruffled Bazaar Markets Christmas Spectacular, which is held at the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds, Logan Rd on Staurday December 1, 3 – 8pm.

Anyway, onto this month’s card class…

We’ll be making a feminine and a neutral (could be for a man) gift bag with matching card

Some close ups

The card size is 3 x 3

These are for those wonderful teachers in our children’s lives – or just for any lovely person you want to give a gift

We will also be making 2 sweet little treat boxes with a halloween theme. I love these! They would make such cute little gifts at Christmas or Easter, just change up the colours and embellishments!

How cute is that little mummy?? There is a frankenstein and witch in this stamp set (SU! Googly Ghouls) as well, which can be used in place of the mummy.

So, the usual detials

Class is this Thursday 18th October, 7.30pm

My House

Cost is $20

What are you planning for Teacher Appreciation Day?

Have a great week!

July Card Class – Little parcels of Love July 14, 2012

Hello everyone! I hope that this post finds you in good health and happy spirits.

This month’s class is focused on pretty packaging, that makes the recipient feel your love with all the time and effort you have put into their gift.

We’ll be making one of each of the following

First up is this cute little basket.

Can you see some delicious home baked goodies in here? Or maybe some soothing bath products? The possibilites will keep coming to you!

Next is this pint-sized luch pail. Isn’t it just darling?

I must add in here that both the basket and lunch pail ideas came from Nichole’s blog. Unfortunately the templates she used are no longer available for purchase, so I have created my own! I was quite pleased with the outcome

And last is a whimsical mini album.

A look at the inside.

Undo those pretty green bows to reveal the accordian fold pages just waiting for your personal touch!

This too was inspired by the talented Nichole.

Class will be held on Thursday 26th July at my home, 7.30pm

Cost is $20.

If you would like to come along please email me by Tuesday 24th July (freshcutsbylu@gmail.com)

Thanks for stopping in today, have a great week!

Cake Stall Fundraiser June 28, 2012

So, one of the reasons I have had less time for crafting and blogging is that I volunteered to take on the role of Secretary for our school P&C. It has been a wonderful learning experience, and kept me quite busy for the last 3 months. I’m hoping that the next 6 months won’t be quite as full on, as I think I’m getting a handle on it now

Anyway, earlier in the year with our local and state elections our school had the opportunity to hold a fundraising BBQ and Cake stall. I took a few piccies on the day of our little cake stall…

Our tables were set up in a U shape. This is my lovely sister who was one of the many volunteers on the day to help run the stall.

The other side

The school has an environmental club and one of the things they grow is lovely fresh herbs. We were able to have some of these delicious herbs for sale at the stall.

These are the mini banana breads I made. I had fun stamping the little cards and packaging the cakes. On the back of the monkey card are the ingredients for the bread.

I also decided to try my hand at cake pops! What an adventure! So simple to make and I think they looked pretty good – they sold out pretty quick! :)

All in all the day was a great success. We were all but sold out by about 2pm. Thanks to all the wonderful parents who contributed the delicious baked goodies to be sold, and all the helpers on the day.

Have you run a cake stall? Do you have one coming up in the future? I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks for stopping in today.
