Peeks for crop classes this Saturday

Jack was more than happy to accompany me to McDonalds so that we could upload the peeks today - can't think why?!! Anyway, here goes......



As promised, the MME 'Dreamy' class is very girlie with its pink/orange/red colourway. I used a single large landscape photo but you could use two 6"x4" as an alternative. You'll need a pink inkpad and some 3d foam pads plus a small single hole punch and a sewing needle with a large eye (I used my Making Memories one from the deluxe toolkit).



The 'Felicity' class is one of my favourites with its fresh turquoise and white and a shot of orange to heat things up! I used a single landscape photo but again, this will work well with a number of smaller pics. Bring along a creamy brown inkpad and some 3d foam pads if you're signed up for this one.



Grab a single 6"x4" landscape photo with a travel theme for the Grayson Hall class and you're good to go! This page is high impact with its black and cream colours and shots of red and green for a bit of zing. You'll want a black journaling pen as we have plenty of space for you to tell your traveller's tales on this gorgeous page!



I love the Manhattan line from Autumn Leaves, its very sophisticated in tones of turquoise and brown - perfect for almost any type of photo. I used two trimmed 6"x4" portrait photos in the sample but a single larger pic would work equally as well.



This class is another of my favourites, its very soft and elegant in shades of pink, pale green and white. I used a non-standard 10" x 5 1/2" landscape photo on my sample but you could use a number of smaller photos - heritage photos would work beautifully with these gorgeous products. You'll need a pink inkpad (I used pink pastel) and some 3d foam pads.



Grab a stack of snaps for the Chatterbox class because you can get masses of them on this page! I used a load of photos all taken on one day and used that as my theme but this would be a perfect way to showcase any event where you've taken a ton of pics - think birthday, christening, holiday, family barbecue! We all take masses of photos at these sort of events and then may only ever use a few, on this page you can use them all! Smaller photos would work best - don't go larger than 6" x 4" in any case. You'll also need a green inkpad (I used Lime Pastel) and a paper pricker (or strong sharp needle).

I hope this helps you with your preparations for the crop - don't stress out about finding the perfect photos because I'd be surprised if you get everything completed in class in any event. I like to give you plenty to do!!

See you Saturday! K :o)

Kit for club this week

Mum has just come back from Canada and like last year, she had tons of fab-ness for the shop in her suitcases! She went to a warehouse event at one of our suppliers and was able to pick and choose directly from the shelves which was a real luxury. Some of these goodies made it into the kit for this week's club - I couldn't resist them!

We're using lovely muted coloured papers from My Mind's Eye this week, together with new Bazzill paper flowers and a Heidi Swapp acrylic stamp (which is yours to keep!). The theme is 'Fabulous' - so dig out photos of anything or anyone fabulous in your opinion.

You'll need to bring along a Creamy Brown inkpad and some 3d foam pads - plus a lot of patience as there's a lot of fiddly cutting out for this one. Don't say I didn't warn you!!

Once again we are getting tight on kits for club so be sure to reserve yours right away, K :o)

Two more classes up today

The crop classes are now arriving thick and fast so today we have added two to the shop for booking. Both are stuffed full of good stuff - the first uses the 'Grayson Hall' line from Collage Press and the layout is travel themed, so perfect for any pic you may have on the road. We have included a whole pack of the new Bazzill chipboard shapes in this kit together with double sided papers, journaling tape, flowers, brads and more!

Our second class available today uses 'Manhattan' from Autumn Leaves. These colours are cool and chic - think mint, white and bitter chocolate. We have double sided papers, 2 packs of cardstock stickers and an acrylic stamp included in this kit.

Places in the classes are limited and so far we have sold out within an hour of releasing each class - so you'll need to get your skates on to avoid being disappointed!

Project for club this week

After fighting with internet access from home I have decamped to McDonalds in order to upload this week's project. Instructions have already gone out to everyone who has indicated that they are attending but if you haven't received yours yet then please get in touch.

I had fun designing this week, I was inspired by the stickers that come in the kit and found some fun pics of LJ doing what he does best when a comera is pointed his way! This is a great kit for the guys, the colours are perfect and there are plenty of alphabet stickers to make any title that takes your fancy. We had a delivery of the new Bazzill chipboard shapes and because I wanted to play we ended up with some of these in the kit too!! The only things you'll need this week are some 3d foam pads, a little sandpaper and a pale blue inkpad (optional).

See you there, K :o)

New crop class available now!

If you are joining us for our crop at the end of this month then you might want to grab yourself a place in the second of our crop classes to be released. The places are limited and I can see this one being sold out really fast today so be quick!

I've had great fun this afternoon messing around with all the goodies that are in this kit - 8 sheets of double-sided patterned papers, cardstock, brads, chipboard corners, alphabets, numbers, phrases and tags. I've put together an interactive page that creates masses of space for loads of photos. My theme is 'A day in the life' but to be honest you can use the same page for just about any group of photos. I'm still adding pics and faffing with it before I finish it so I'll let you know how many photos I used in the end and the sort of sizes when I'm done.

Project for club this week

The lack of broadband is driving me doolally!! We've been driving around this evening trying to find a WiFi hotspot as the local pub has gone down - we're sat in McDonald's car park at the mo, looking a bit odd but we aren't the only ones sat in the car with laptops out!

Anyway, this is the project for club this week using Making Memories papers and an entire chipboard alphabet together with a whole pack of flowers. It was nice to use colours that we haven't used before - I'm not usually a fan of lavender but I really liked this collection of papers and am really happy with the final page. There was a reason that I hadn't used these photos up until now and its probably because they needed different colours from my usual. The kit includes circle templates and a flourish template - you'll need to bring along a green chalk inkpad and some 3d foampads plus a few brads for the flowers. There isn't a particular theme to the papers so you can use practically anything as far as photos go - anything from babies to weddings, kids, travel, it'll be the colours in the photos that will determine whether it'll match rather than the theme!

Let us know if you're joining us this week as we are getting tight for kits - I'd hate for anyone to be disappointed! See you there, K :o)
