Class 48 - Embossed Paper FoldsI am alive and kicking after a few days from hell! Great day Saturday, everyone had a fab time together. Thank you so much for all the lovely messages, I was really touched.I got sick through the night Sunday and the whole day was a disaster! I had so much to get through and so little time to do it.Andrew was due in work Monday night and I had to finish my accounts before her left or I would never get uninterrupted time to do it. I got nothing done Sunday and I was near to tears thinking I was going to be left without them done.
Class 49 - Positive NegativesI got up yesterday although the sickness had passed I was still a wash out
but had no choice but to go for it. Andrew was not in the best of moods and really did not want to be left holding the fort but needs must and I shut my ears to his whining and moaning at the kids and got on with it. It took all day but I did it and made the bank at 4.55PM WHOOHOO!Cooked a teak Diane dinner and kicked him out to work at 6.45PM, calm returned *insert huge grin* So I patted myself on the back but will wait until they come back signed off as ok before I am really in the clear haha!
Class 50 - Bubble PaintingSo today was catch up day with BPS 52 Card pick and the last of my deck cards for this class. I can’t believe I got to the end and did complete all bar one card and that was only because I could not find suitable glass beads! I will one day and add that card to the space in the deck.Its been a really creative and interesting journey and I was so pleased I signed up. This is my top class so far, so useful, so inspiring and all taught by a done to earth teacher, Tena. I would take another of her classes in a heartbeat.
Class 51 - Photo Focus with PaintNot all the techniques were favourites and not all were new but to have them all together in one place in amazing. I just love the deck. An inspired idea was to give us recipe cards for each technique and to top it off we got an index to print out yesterday, that finishes it off perfectly.Thank you Tena and all in the 53 Card Pick up Class. I have had a ton of emails from some really talented people on the BPS message boards. I have really appreciated them all.
Class 52 - Fancy Paper FoldsOne of the best things for me doing this class was being able to raid my scrap pile so much, you have no idea how many scraps and odds & ends that were used to complete these cards. Even photographs from my discarded box found a way onto many pages. You know the ones that didn’t print just right or were not quite the right size or orientation? A lot of them found homes on my cards. Now that is an added bonus and one I am so pleased about. I hate wasted photos.
My 4×4 Deck - 4″ High on a 4″ BookringSo my deck is all but complete, just the index pages to add. A little sad its over but happy with the results.Now to catch up on Scrapdollys Blog prompts - All My Own Work, get a DT project done and be ready for Shimelle’s first creative project from the new ’Picture Worth A Thousand Words’ class tomorrow……… yeah, I will be ready
The End
Until later xx ……

Heather, I "acquired" some glass beads for your missing technique from the lab!! They are pretty definitely not acid free but they do work and I reckon the adhesive provides a barrier anyway!! If you would like to try them out send me an email and I’ll send you some!!
Your deck is looking fab!! Mine is more than half finished but I still have quite a few techniques still to do! I agree it’s been a fab class though, well worth it!!
Oh and where do you get 4" book rings from coz that’s a worry for me that I’m not going to be able to fit it all on!!

Heather that card book is such a major achievement. I so wish I had done the class now as you have covered so many different techniques and you have stuck with it for so long too.
Something not only beautiful but also something to be really proud of.
