My First Little Claire Class!

Today I've had a very busy but very enjoyable day teaching my first ever card making classes!  Together with my fellow Design Team members Gaynor and Helen R, I've taught three classes making Christmas cards using Little Claire stamps.  Thirty one ladies came to Thornton Hough village hall on the Wirral to spend the day with us and I think everyone enjoyed themselves!

The card above was one of the ones I did in my class - it was made using the very cute 'A Little Bird Told Me' stamp which I paper pieced using the same paper as I'd used on the background.  The sentiment is one of the Red Gingham 'Christmas Text' stamps and I finished it with some white swirly ribbon and some Card Candi.
This is one of my other cards made using the "Will He Find Us?" stamp.  The base is a piece of six inch square card folded in half and the circle and scalloped circle were cut with Nestabilities.  I've added a little bit of Card Candi to finish it.

I've really enjoyed teaching my first classes and I'm looking forward to my next one which is this coming Thursday!

I'd also like to enter my first card in the current challenge at Winter Wonderland which is 'girly Christmas'

    Do I have to make up my mind which one I like better? Maybe, but just maybe the polar bears... They are both adorable!
