'Tis the season for pyromania!!

Well we didn't burn the hall down and there were no alarms or sprinklers to set off, so all was well and we were very impressed with the results of your pyrography last week!

Lots of lovely cards and gifts produced to really get our Christmas crafting under way:

And our wood theme continued with these stamped tree and leaf cards, using woodgrain wallpaper or woodgrain embossed card:

And here are all your entries for the Game Piece Challenge Card. Votes are being counted - watch this space...

Wood, wood, glorious wood

This month we will be focusing on techniques with wooden items including simple wood burning projects, stamping on wooden items to create a faux wood burned effect, using wax paper to transfer text/images to wood blocks and creating backgrounds using a woodgrain embossing folder.

We will be working mainly with items like keyrings, wood slices, lolly sticks, wooden hearts, Jenga blocks etc. You may bring your own wooden items, but please ensure they are not coated or coloured with anything and that the wood is relatively soft if you intend to try wood burning.

Don't forget your game piece Challenge entries are due in this month too.
