Brykley Park Garden Centre Demo

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will  be demoing on Sunday the 27th at Brykley Park Garden Centre, Rangemoor, Burton On Trent.  I will be there from 10 am to 4pm showing some fun techniques with embossing folders, masks, spellbinder dies, mica powders and other products that I love playing with and using.  I would love for you to drop by and say hello if you are in the area!
   Here is another sample from last weeks shows that I really liked (and the picture came out okay too!)  The flowers were made from an out of date dictionary I purchased for 25 cents in Florida while thrift store shopping with my daughter in November.  I knew it would make great card embellishments and background paper!  And guess what, there is my favourite vintage ribbon on there too!  That stuff is so much fun to play with and use on cards.  If you are coming to Ally Pally in April, I will have it at my booth and a really lovely assortment of colours too.
Hope I get to see some of you at the demo this weekend!  All for now, Sue x

    Stunning.

    I wish C&C would allow you two hours with stamps,techniques, papers, etc so that we can see how you decide on your cards/colours/designs as well as all the brilliant techniques.

    You would make a fabulous guest/host for the Paper Clinic.

    Sue, just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderfully inspiring demos you gave at the garden centre today. I felt thoroughly priviliged to watch you work, answer our questions, and give us your own tips and techniques. You really gave so much of yourself and deserve a very long lie down (if time allows I guess?!) Being able to look up close at your samples was also such a treat. I look forward to seeing you on C&C (cross fingers it's with 'Mr Gorgeous'!) with all the lovely treats you are working hard to line up for us. Again, thank you Sue.

    Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the demonstration yesterday at Byrkley. Mum and I had a great time seeing all of your techniques in real life. It was good to see the cards too in detail and for the chance to photograph them. Looking forward to seeing all the *new* items you're going to be bringing to us soon.

    I shall watch C&C with great interest now!!
