Week 266 - Fairies - Allsorts Challenge

Good Morning Crafters,

I hope everyone is well and happy out in Craft Land. My apologies for my absence last week I was snowed under and just could not fit one more job into a very full week.
The end of the week included our fabulous Let's Create day at our local village hall and it was a superb day with 54 very enthusiastic, but tired crafters going home with 4 great projects.
Thankyou to the excellent Paul Church, the very creative Chris Scott and our superb resident tutor Caroline.
 
These are a few of the photographs that were taken on the day.
 
Pauls Buff it and Gentle Blends project.

The ladies doing Caroline's very pretty Decoupatch project.
 
A lovely day had by all.  we are now looking forward to the next one in November - with a Christmas theme!!
 
Back to todays Challenge for Allsorts.  We have been asked to design a card with Fairies as our inspiration.  The Pinflair Scenes sprang to mind and this is what I came up with.
 
This was such a quick an easy card to do just a little blending, a little glitter and a flourish and a flower has made quite a pretty card. 
 
Today at the shop is parchment class and the students will be concentrating doing a little grid work!
I must sign off now and get the workshop ready, thank you for popping in and please also take time to call in at the Allsorts Challenge blog and have a peep at the other design team members ideas on this weeks Challenge.
 
Thankyou for taking the time to pop and see me and please leave a quick comment if you have time.
Enjoy a lovely weekend,
Bye for now
Jo xx
