Cute Cards!
Now I'm working on some new classes to teach at Bizzy B's this summer, so watch the calendar for descriptions and dates!
April 27, 2009
ScrapFest (April 17 & 18)
I had the pleasure of attending ScrapFest for the first time this year, demonstrating quilling techniques for my favourite LSS, Bizzy B's Stamp & Scrap! I forgot to take a picture of my most recent project, a black wooden picture frame that I decorated with pink and ivory roses and some green leaves, but I plan to take a picture soon and post it. It's a great example of what you can do with paper and glue, especially alongside a quilled Easter egg, my miniature wedding cake, my aquarium shadow box, and other assorted quilled designs.
Creativ Festival (April 24-26)
After a great weekend at ScrapFest, I had another great weekend at the Creativ Festival, this time helping out my friend Lara Brooks in the Canadian Scrapbooker booth. We had a great time chatting about the magazine and playing with MyStamp Box stamps. Here's a quick sample I made tonight using the Funky Flowers set. You can order them online or stop by Bizzy B's and pick some up.

Quilled Easter Eggs
March 25, 2009
Quilled Mother's Day Card
This is a fairly simple card . . . I cut a rectangle out of the centre of the card front, and zig-zagged quilled spirals across it. You could add more butterflies or more flowers, but I decided that less is more for me this time. You could also line the inside of the card with white paper to hide any stamping or writing inside. The sample is at BB's and it's part of my Quilled Cards for Mother's Day class (scheduled for April 28).
Keep an eye out for some fantastic Easter designs. I plan to post pics next week . . . Easter eggs like you've never seen before!!

Quilled Wedding Cake
So I tried quilling something new tonight -- a wedding cake! I've been thinking about it for a while and decided it's what I want to teach in my upcoming quilled miniatures class. My close-up photography skills need some improvement, but I'm really happy with the cake. Looks pretty tasty to me!
