March Workshop - The Pail

Finally I have finished the pail which we will be doing in the workshop on March 7th. This is great fun to make and uses some great techniques for making flowers which can also be applied to scrapbook layouts. The pail is ideal storage for blossoms, ribbons etc or simply as a gift for mothers day filled with something delicious.

Skrapztacular Guest Designer Revealed

We are pleased to announce that Morag Cutts will be our Guest Designer at Skrapztacular this year. You may have seen her work in scrapbook Inspirations recently. Morag will be teaching two classes at our May Retreat to be held in Shropshire in May 2009. See here for further details. Class information will be released nearer the day.

I live in the West Midlands with my husband and 2 very lively children! I recently left a career in IT to spend more time at home with the family.

After discovering scrapbooking purely by chance almost 4 years ago I knew that this hobby had me hooked! 4 years later, I still feel as passionate and excited as I did that very first day. I love to help and encourage new people to catch the bug.

I am fortunate to be on the design team for several companies both here in the UK and in the US. I have been a frequent contributor to Scrapbook Inspirations, Papercraft Inspirations and You Can Create! magazines.

I am so thrilled to be hosting two classes at Skrapztacular this year. We’ll be doing a little bit of this and that to create a stunning project that’s packed with charm. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you’ll certainly have some fun along the way and hopefully some surprises too!

Photo Folder Workshop

Yes I know it has been ages since I blogged I don't know where the time has gone . Really I don't.
But anyway here are the pictures of Saturday's photo folder class.
Kits are just £8.00 for this one and you will end up with a lovely folder that will hold 8 - 10 4" x 6" photos.
Great to send to long distance friends at christmas or anytime of the year really. Plenty of space for journalling too.
You can book your place here

Making Plans for Christmas

This is the Christmas Planner that we will be making at the next Skrapz Crop on October 5th.
We will be using colours similar to these but not necessarily the same patterns.
You will need to bring your paper trimmer, fancy edge scissors, adhesives and 4x 6" x 4" photos and 10 passport size photos. You will of course get everything in the kit that you need but feel free to bring along any embellishments from your own stash. You may find it useful to bring your own inks as well . If you haven't booked onto the class yet you can do it here.

Caroline's Pot Luck Class - Revealed

Caroline's class was a huge success on Saturday. Her altered travel tin was really well recieved at the crop and lots of people said how much they enjoyed the class.

Caroline used the Noir Blanc Range by Tinkering Ink to decorate her Tin and embellished with ribbons, brads and stamps. What a great way to spend a dull Saturday.

Next month's class is the Christmas planner book with Ann. Pics to follow soon.

Our end of Summer Sale continues here

The Wedding Album has begun

With my sister's wedding fast approaching I thought I'd better make a start on the album. Especially as I am giving it to her and Chris as their present. Anyway this is the engagement page. The background paper is K and Co bought years ago - I knew I would need it! I used CWAE heart but tilted it and took it off the page the piece I cut off I used for the title. My favourite part is the turn from Buzz and Bloom. It says he loves me/he loves me not. I just chalked this with white as I thought paint would be too heavy. Finished off with a huge diamante brad from Delish Designs.
