Advent clock workshop

Well my friend debs and I went to the craft barn today for a birthday workshop (pressie of a ticket from both of us to both of us) We were taught via the person Di Oliver, who had developed/designed the Tando kits and made them.

This is what we were making and Di's example of the completed Advent clock 

I began making this by decorating the frame first and distressing the paper to go on the background 

Next I coloured all of the embellishments and decided on the design and colour scheme as well as adding a bit of sparkle and shimmer to the design

Here is Debs also designing and making her Advent clock too.

The finished product and I am really pleased the way it turned out . I love the colours and  now am ready for Christmas  and to begin using the clock .

It was Debbies birthday early august so as a treat I bought her a craft workshop. She chose an all day workshop called Home tweet home by Kathy Byrne. So off we went via two trains to Lingfield to our favourite shop the craft barn and it was fantastic!! We got very messy and learnt lots of different techniques and tried lots of different products we may not have normally used. Debbie said she enjoyed herself and I certainly did so a good day out. Go have a look at the workshops and try something new :)
