Retro Fresh flower frame

At a (fairly recent) get-together with some of my stamping friends, we all made one of these frames. The interesting thing was seeing just how different everybody’s was. I chose to use Retro Fresh Designer Series Papers and various other elements. The great thing about getting together with other crafters (apart from the actual getting together, of course!) is they way everybody is happy to share their supplies, so you get to play with tools and embellishments you don’t have. Naturally, afterwards we just have to have them… so go home and order them for ourselves!

This could just as easily have been a scrapbook page, but we used Ikea box frames. A tip for scrapbooking if you have papers you really want to use but don’t have a photo to “match” is to print your image out in black and white. It goes with everything!

Decorated muslin bag

Next month I and some of my team will be taking part in a very exciting event called Art in the Round. This is a new arts event for Derby and will be held in the Roundhouse, Pride Park, on 3rd and 4th May. 

There are more than 70 artists taking part and some of us will be offering workshops, which is especially exciting. I and my team have been allocated a workshop space above the library and will be offering workshops throughout both days, to spread the word about Stampin’ Up!® to as many people as possible. 

One of the projects visitors can make will be this cute little muslin bag. We are offering this as a free workshop on a first-come, first-served basis. I had fun creating this project as I haven’t played with these little bags enough. Now my head is brimming with possibilities!
