Doodling on buttons

This LO was made in the rain!!! Seriously, I ran some free workshops at the Sutton Arts Festival a couple of weeks ago and my Art Marquee was missing its sides, AND IT WAS RAINING HORIZONTALLY. Apart from the weather I had a lovely morning and met some lovely new ladies who have signed up for a beginners workshop in August.

Evening Cropping!

Hello my lovelies! Sorry the blog's been a little idle lately just been a little busy. However, I thought I might let you know that there is an opportunity to get a little evening cropping done!
I am running a new beginners workshop at the YMCA off Pilkington Avenue in Sutton Coldfield on Tuesday 18th August and Tuesday 25th August. If you would like to come along from 7pm till 9-30pm you would be most welcome to come and 'do your own thing'. The cost of the crop will be £5-00. If you want to book yourself a place then email me on artoflife@hotmail.co.uk

Cancellation Of August Crop

Just to let you know that I have had to cancel the crop in August as I am sailing away to the Med!! The next crop is July 12th and then we will have a break until the Sept crop on the 13th!

Canvas wall art and more!

These are just a few more photos of some home decor projects demonstrated at my crop on Sunday. There are canvas's, box frames. altered frames and candles.

Taking your Scrappin' into your home!

Here are a few examples of the workshop on home decor. I have altered frames, candles and used a box frame around a 12x12 layout. I'm injecting a bit of green into my brown and cream lounge and this a creative way of doing it!

Let's Talk Crop, Sunday 14th April

We had a really productive and relaxing day at the crop yesterday, it was lovely to meet 3 new members and welcome them into our friendly group. I did a workshop on 'Home decor' : hopefully inspiring a few of you to think about taking your scrapbooking skills 'off the page' and into your home! An enjoyable day all round!! Well done to Julie for winning the raffle prizes- how she managed this when she didn't actually do any scrappin' was amazing!! Good friends come in handy when they buy your raffle tickets for you!!

Huntington (Penkridge) Crop

It was lovely to see all my 'Penkridge' friends again on Saturday, Donna did a demonstration on how to make flowers from material scraps that have been stiffened! She had made some really cute clip frames with the flowers and lace, and then everyone was able to have a go themselves with the class kit.
It was perfect timing for me as I was about to do a workshop on home decor the very next day! So these piccies are my interpretation of the technique: I used plain cream cotton (bed sheet) and stamped it with Staz On before stiffening the material and adding a bit of glitz!
The middle picture is my mini frame with a photo of my mad cat (who thinks he is a dog) and a flower made with the material supplied at the class. For details and dates about the crop in Huntington look on Donna's blog: imintosomethinggood.blogspot.com . I have been asked to do a class for them the next time I am there with the shop, so really looking forward to that.!
