Cutting Crew Crop

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at Cutting Crew Crop at Brierley Hill! I had a lovely day with you all today and I apologise to those of you who left with 'lighter' purses after seeing the shop. I think I've got a few more of you hooked on hand tinting black & white photos after my demo- It's just such good fun!!

Looking forward to seeing Anita, Toni and the rest of the crew on the 4th July for my next visit.

Mixing with the Celebs!

Just had to show off this piccie of me and Tim Holtz, we're best of buddies you know!! Stick with me girls, you'll go far.............

Well done Pat- The lucky raffle winner

Pat was on a roll today, not only did she win the crop raffle but her LO was voted the best entry in the challenge kit.

Well done Pat! (bet your glad you came!)

What a fun LO

Just wanted to show you one of Gemma's LO's that she completed at the crop today- How cool is that?!

Well done Gem!

Time for a break! Gemma, Margaret & Gaynor

A crop is all about chilling out and having time to sit and have lunch with your friends - Oh, and scrapbooking!

Look what we made!!!

Here I am with some of the Lifers who took part in the challenge kit this month. Didn't they all do well?

Decisions, decisions!!

Judging the challenge LO entries- serious business!!

The winning challenge LO- Well done Pat!!!

This is the brilliant LO that beat everyone hands down when voted for by secret ballot! Well done Pat, you clever girlie!!
Everyone loved her use of paper folding to make the flower embellishment and the ribbon threading across the bottom of the LO.

Margaret's challenge LO

So Sweet!

I love the way Margaret has triple matted the photograph of her and her grandson.

Such a beautiful LO.

Julie's challenge LO

Well done Julie on producing another wonderful LO full of fun! Concentrating on having fun scrappin' with friends.

Everything is better when enjoyed with a friend!!

Well done Gemma, such a lovely LO made with the challenge kit.

Gaynors Challenge entry

How cute is this!! Well done Gaynor- A fabulous LO.

The Crop Challenge kit

This is the kit I put together for all the 'Lifers' at the crop today. Everyone was challenged to make at least one item with the kit (any size LO or mini-book). The rules were to use only the materials provided! Die-cutting, paper punching and stamping was also allowed!

Have a look at the following posts to see how everyone got on.

A really chilled out cropping sunday

We had a really chilled out and extremely relaxing day today. All the 'lifers' enjoyed taking part in the challenge kit.{ see the next post for details} There were a few grumbles that you didn't have the freedom to choose something else from your stash to make the challenge easier, but this was the whole idea of the challenge! To take you out of your comfort zone, and make you think on your feet!

Everyone attending the crop managed to get lots of serious scrappin' done (except for me!!) and I managed to get lots of serious chatting done!!
