Next crop Sunday 8th March

Just a reminder that the next Let's Talk Crop is Sunday 8th March, 9-45am till 4-45pm, £8-00 for the day as usual. I will be teaching a class on ribbons.........'Reels of fun'; 101 things to do with ribbon, how to use ribbon in different ways in your scrapping. You will have a little hands on fun and the obligatory handout with all the information(which you will need if you have seive for a brain like me!) I have lots and lots of lovely new ribbons, buttons and embellishmnents for the shop to inspire you even further. Please email me if you haven't booked on for the class yet as I need to know definate numbers.

Love these blue eyes!!!

Just thought I'd share this LO of my gorgeous little girl and her blue eyes. I love how the backround cardstock is an exact match to the colour of her eyes. All the papers and brads that I used are available in the shop.

Hand colouring Photos

The class on hand colouring photos was great fun to do and gave all my 'lifers' some useful information and tips, here are a few photos of some of my hand coloured pictures.

Photos Of Penkridge Crop

Penkridge Crop

Had a lovely time with my 'Penkridge' friends yesterday. Donna demo'd a cute class using beer mats to make a mini book ( see the photos) and Nina showed everyone how she altered a snowglobe- going to scraplift that one Nina!! It was a shame I couldn't stay until the end but I think everyone got their stash fix from the shop in the few hours I was there. Looking forward to seeing you all again on the 14th March.

Piccies of Sundays crop

Sundays Crop

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came to Let's Talk Crop on Sunday, what a brilliant, buzzing day it was! Welcome to all my new 'Lifers' I hope you enjoyed yourselves and found the classes fun and informative. It was so great to meet you! So in the end there were 29 of us filling Fellowship Hall with lots of 'girlie' chattering, sharing of ideas and creative juices flowing. I managed to fit 4 classes in before 12-30( you may have noticed I had my teachers head on- "right Ladies the class will be starting in 2 minutes time and the register will be called"!!!) I had to do 2 shifts for each class but this was much better for you. If any one didn't do the classes but would like the handouts with all the instructions just let me know.

The 2 hour beginners workshop in the afternoon went really well and all of you who attended made a fantastic first page, it was lovely to see your pages being admired by some of my serious scrappers, they were suitably impressed!

The weather was very kind to us in the morning allowing everyone to safely travel to the crop but then we had some serious snow again late afternoon so I hope you all got home O.K. I was certainly a little 'snowed up' by the time I had loaded up my car. But it was all worth it, A BRILLIANT DAY..........

Busy busy busy

We have 22 ladies signed up for Let's Talk Crop this Sunday, can't wait to see you all, doors open 9-45am! Kettle will be on!

Please arrive early to ensure you don't miss out on any of the workshops. I'm doing them in shifts starting at 10-30 prompt!!

Hand Tinting Photos

Sorry about the blurry photo but this is just a taste of the class on how to hand colour your photos. I will give you some hints and tips on how to enhance your photos with some different styles, these techniques are suitable for both heritage and modern photos.

A Little More Room - LO No.2

Here is a sneaky peak of another LO I have done for the class this Sunday. I have used the new SMIRK papers which are really fun to work with, these will be available at the crop on Sunday. The booklet with the 'Little Angels' title opens out to reveal more photos and journaling.

Snow, snow go away!

Only 3 days to go till the next Let's Talk Crop, can't wait!! All we need now is for the white stuff to disappear. So keep your fingers crossed that the weather will be kind to us this Sunday. I've been busy getting the classes ready and enjoying making some LO's for the challenge blog.
