Vintage Card using Very Versailles and Fanciful Fragrance

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

This was a card we made in class this month. I love a bit of vintage and the Very Versaille and Fanciful Fragrance stamp sets are just the sort I love. I couldn't decide which to use - so we used them both!

Annual Customer Thank You Party

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

Last week I ran my favourite event of the year, my Annual Customer Thank You Party!



I love to be able to show my gratitude for all the ladies who let me do the best job in the world - so I work hard to give them a great event. I enjoyed making pretty table centres and decorating gift bags for each of them.






This year we had a new venue - the Coach Houses at Rownhams House. It meant we had two rooms, one for the big display boards, free projects to take away, cake and more - and one for everyone to sit and be creative.



As usual my lovely husband Mike was in charge of tea, coffee and cake - oh and all the washing up! My lovely fried Tracy helped with set up and took lots of photos :) 


Everyone had the opportunity to make five projects using goodies from the upcoming Autumn/Winter catalogue.


These are the projects my lovely ladies made. 




If you would like to come along to this creative and free event next time - it is easy. Just come along and enjoy a monthly class at my Elizabeth's Craft Room Studio in Rownhams, Southampton.

All About My Classes

Hello and welcome to Elizabeth's Craft Room ,

Somebody was asking about my class dates the other day....I counted up and found I am actually running 124 events during 2019! Oh my goodness - I had better not list them all here!

But I thought I would pop a downloadable list on my Classes page so you can find it anytime.

My in-person classes are held at Elizabeth's Craft Room Studio in Rownhams, Southampton. They are fun and friendly, with step by step tuition and the opportunity to spend a couple of hours escaping from the real world as well as learning something new.


The classes cost just £10 and we make two cards, (the card on the left is one from this month), and usually a gift bag or box. 

TRY ME CLASS - I never ask anyone to sign up for a course of classes, we just book month to month. And you can come along and give us a try to see if it is for you. Get in touch if you are interested. All classes need to be booked in advance so I can prepare materials - and everything is included - all you need to bring is your smiley face! 

I also run monthly Special Classes where we make projects that take a little longer - and you will have a stamp set or other goodies to take home if you attend one of these. 

If you would like to find out more about these fun and friendly events, please contact me for more information or to book your place.

After adding more classes to the schedule recently, I  now have spaces on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

Not near Southampton England? No worries! I also offer occasional Online Classes - have a look on my class page for what is available.
