This sundays crop

It's May's Let's Talk Crop this week! Sunday 3rd May 9-45 till 4-45! £8-00 all day including all refreshments!


There will be a kit challenge on the day, I will provide you with a ready made kit (papers, cardstock, stickers, ribbons etc) for you to scrap a project on the day! The winning LO will receive a £5-00 voucher to spend in the Art Of Life shop.

The kit is £5-00 to purchase ( this will include enough materials for you to make a few pages or a mini book) and is suitable for all genres, ie; boys, girls, loved ones, friends! The colour combinations are: pale duck egg blue, white and maroon red. There is also a bit of a spotty theme and a few cute birds on the scene! I always find if I'm not sure if the photos will match the papers I use black and white!!

Hope you are all up for a bit of challenge fun!

See you on Sunday, Jules xxx

Two quick little projects!!

I made these two quick litte projects last week, the first is a mini book all about my gorgeous hairy hound, Maisy. It was made out of a cardboard box!! The second is a sweet little book made from one sheet of 12x12 double sided paper, I put it together to showcase Izzie in her Easter Bonnet this year- she won the competition at nursery for the best bonnet and have included the winning certificate in the book!

A couple more mini books!

The first book is a all about being a mom! I must admit I do love this because it has photos of all my three children as babies and throughout their lives, this is one of my favourites.

The butterfly book is really sweet and has photos of a lovely afternoon in Sutton park with Izzie and her best friend Vivien, I love making mini books about days out and Izzie loves to pick them up and remember special times with me.

I just love this art!!

Gaynor listens to me!!

Just wanted to show you this fun photo of Gaynor at the a April crop, she is pointing to her very own bin, she is now officially a scrapper 'proper' with all the essential kit!! (plastic bag and tape!!)

I've been a busy girl!

Well this month has flown by! I can't believe it's Crop Sunday this week!! I've been busy working on lots of projects and workshops and have made a few little things I thought you might like to see.

The first piccie is of a book made from toilet rolls, the second a book made from envelopes and the third was made from a beer mat!

Our challenge blog winner

Congrats to Paula for winning the 'I Dare You' challenge this month. The challenge was to incorporate someone elses handwriting or artwork onto your layout.

Well done Paula, hope you enjoy spending the £5.00 shop voucher!

April's Crop

Well, we certainly had a quiet crop this month, compared to the last couple! We really missed all of you who couldn't make it, but it was a little more chilled for me as I could do the workshop in just one sitting- Phew!!! We had a very relaxed day and there was lots of very productive scrappin'. Well done to Jean for winning the raffle prize and a very big pat on the back to Paula for winning the challenge blog entry ( O.K.- she was the only entrant!)
Everyone enjoyed making home-made embellishments in the 'Homespun Fun' class. For those of you who missed it, I will re-run this class at a later date!
