Acrylic covered spiral bound mini book

The afternoon class this Sunday will be teaching you how to make this cute little 4x4 mini book. I will guide you step by step through this class teaching you how to cut, fold and assemble a very professional looking spiral bound book. We will use the Dreamkuts paper cutter, origami paper folding techniques and the wonderful Bind It All machine to bind the book with wires. The book can be prepared and the photos added at a later date! [ this is a brilliant idea for a last minute xmas pressie]

The class is free! However, if you wish to make the book along with me you will need to purchase the acrylic

covers,cardstock, paper and wires from the crop shop before the class starts.

Sunday 14th Dec Crop Details

Just a little sneaky preview of the 'You're so square' class for this Sunday. This class will show you how to make a 12x12 LO incorporating squares (& rectangles) and showing you how to make a patchwork page! This is a free class for which you will need to bring your own photos, I will be demonstrating 2 LO's [1] with 1 larger photo [2] with 3 smaller photos- preferabally square- all the same size. You will have time before the class starts to choose papers from the crop shop if you don't already have what you need.

I've been a busy little bee over the past few days, putting together my workshop for sunday. I am doing Christmas cards and festive crafts for a company called SPICE, here are a few of the cards that we will be making! If you would like more details of the workshop or what other things SPICE get up to have a look at http://www.spicebham.co.uk/

The November Layout!! Circles & Sewing

I will be showing you how to use hand stitching on your layouts at the November crop, I've really enjoyed putting these circular layouts together and found the hand stitching really relaxing and addictive! I will be showing you how to incorporate circles of all shapes and sizes into your pages and stitching with thread and ribbon!

Pictures of the 'Exploding box' class as promised

So this is one of the demonstrations I will be doing at the crop on Sat 15th, it is an exploding box with lots and lots of room for photos and journaling. I used mine to showcase our holiday to Kos this year, they are great for displaying photos of special occasions ( wedding, birthday party etc) or to give as a present to someone special with photos and journaling, along with a small gift inside the box!
