I'm not very organised...

...this week - not at all.

I have a few things that I need to photograph but I seem to be all behind at the moment. I think a lot of this has to do with the latest fiasco at work but I'm not even going there...

I realised that I hadn't shared the photos of one of Andy Pearson's "Demo" days (Pinnacle Crafts) as it was during the time I was struggling to sort out Windows 10.

So without further ado, here are some pictures of the Christmas goodies that Andy shared with us...

 ...lots of card ideas - some quick & easy and others involving a bit more technique...

...there was a fabulous selection of finished samples - mainly cards but a few 3D pieces as well.

This was one of the pieces that Andy had submitted for his DT project to Creative Expressions shortly before the demo day...

 ...lots of stamping, mica powder and die-cut construction to create this beautiful card.

An Andy demo day would not be complete without some messy play with inks...

 ...Andy was showing the lovely effects created by inks on acetate...

 ...the perfect background for this die of the Three Wise Men. The die-cut had been embossed and then highlighted with gilding wax to really show off the texture.

For those of you who may have tons of peel-offs tucked away in their stash, he showed that they can be used very effectively...

...as is shown here. Some borders & corners were the finishing touch to this card. I know folk either love or hate peel-offs but there are times when they can actually work very well.

That was Andy's last demo for 2015 and he has also finished his year on the Creative Expressions DT - so no more "Boys Wednesday" over at the CE blog as John Lockwood is off presenting on Hochanda and Andy is busy getting the shop Christmas cards sorted before he take a well deserved holiday.

All being well, I'll manage to get those photos taken & posted....................................................
