Stampin' Up! Review of 2017 Part III
Hello, I'm back again with part III of my review of 2017. I have set this post to publish on Boxing Day (26th December). I will be having a relaxed day - no facebook, blog or anything computer based! I have a book I need to finish for my reading group and today is the day I will finish it. There might be coffee and chocolate involved at some point(s) too!
July
This was a tricky month for me to decide which projects to showcase. The D's definitely won this month!
Daisy Delight was a very popular bundle - the punch made short work of creating these stunning flowers. Two of my crafty ladies asked me to do a special workshop with this bundle - this is what we made. The abundant supply of Rosemary growing in my garden made a very fragrant addition to one of the projects!
Dragonfly Dreams - this is one of my most favourite projects of 2017; the colours, the little bit of sparkle and the dragonfly (of course) are right up my street!!
During July I entered the first of two online challenges for 'The Joy of Sets' - it was a good way for me to step out out my comfort zone. The challenge letters were F and S - can you guess which stamp sets I used?
August
Painted Harvest is one of my favourites - I used it for my customer thank you cards in August in a non traditional colour scheme. My crafty ladies absolutely loved it! Painted Harvest turned up for C & C sessions, a Workshop and as a card for a special friend celebrating her 65th birthday too.
During August I took part in my very first blog hop which was something I had been wanting to do for ages!
Stampers by the Dozen (SBTD) are a group of 12 SU Demonstrators around the world who got together to take part in a monthly hop.
I chose to use Painted Harvest for my project - lots of fussy cutting (worth it) and a change from my usual clean and simple style with something in a shabby style.
September
September saw me publishing a record 25 blog posts!
It must have been something to do with the time of the year as I also got rather carried away with a bundle called Colorful Seasons.
It started with a couple of projects for C & C sessions ...
Then me having an inky play session just for fun with some shiny cardstock ...
Then I needed a project for my second SBTD blog hop ...
I really, really like this card - especially the leave cut from the copper foil! You can find a tutorial showing more details here.
Then, because I had got rather carried away making lots of leaves I made this (for me) ...
Then my crafty ladies liked this project so much I offered a Workshop making the wreaths, my SBTD project and the card I made as my customer thank you card for September!
Phew, now you can see how I manged to produce 25 blog posts for September.
Come back soon for part IV of my Review of 2017.
I hope you are enjoying Christmas and that you manage to get some time to relax and read a good book too.
