Crop: Sunday, 7th August

The next crop is almost upon us.  It's come around quickly because of the holiday period. 

For this month's class we have fabulous Prima Marketing papers. You will know that the papers will be stunning. Take a look at these:

Your class kit will include one of these fab butterflies.

Be sure to check back later this week for more class details. Remember there are a very limited number of classes available.

Challenges
As you know we offer up a challenge each month to win a small prize.  We would love to see more entries so why not have a go?!

Layout Sketch is a round sketch from Page Maps.  You don't have to do a round layout of course, but they are kind of fun.

The inspiration comes from Julie Boardman.

The card sketch from Got Sketches? Sketch 122

I love this example from the blog by Robyn Weatherspoon.

Don't forget, you can enter both categories as many times as you like!  More is definitely more!

Look forward to seeing you all!

Craft for a Cure Kit

I hope you have already noticed by now, that we are holding a crop & workshop in aid of Cancer Research UK.  We'll be raising loads of lovely lolly in the hope that we can put a stop to this horrible disease.

Well onto the kit.  It arrived today and it is GORGEOUS!  Ooh, Nicki & I have such impeccable taste!  Let's start off with a photo...

Although not complete yet, you'll get a good idea of what it will look like.  It has the fabulous Victoria Gardens from Echo Park, the prettiest lush flowers from Prima as well as little embellishments and trinkets.  We'll obviously stuff as much pretty into the kit as we can manage.

There are still some places left if you want to join in the fun.  Your ticket includes the gorgeous kit, 2 workshop classes (a layout and mini-book), buffet lunch and refreshments.

Also, Creative Moments have confirmed that they will be bringing their lovely shop to the crop.  Ooh - they have some lovely products in store.  Better start saving girls!

Check back soon to see some sneaky peeks of the classes.

17th July Crop

Newsletters are going out today, but here is a view of this month's class.

We have a lovely grown-up class this month with a vintage style.  A little light cutting up of images and lots of layering.

Colours are muted blue and green so should go well with lots of different photos.  I used a trimmed photo (approx. 5x4").

There are a very limited number of classes available, so be sure to book yours asap.

Please note also, that the August crop has moved to 7th August.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry for the Interruption

As some of you may have realised, that our normal web site has stopped working.  :(

This is because I forgot to check how long the domain lasted for and it has run out.  However, I am in the process of sorting it all out although it is taking longer than expected.  So in the meantime, please watch this space and of course Nicki & my personal blogs (see side panel).

Crop - 17th July

Everything is as normal for the next crop.  I have prepared a class but just need to finish a few things off - sorry I'm so behind with everything. 

Be sure to pop back asap to see the class info.

In the meantime, the challenge sketches for this month are from Pagemaps:

You can see the original sketch and sample here.

And the card sketch:

Also see this sketch and inspiration along with many others over here.

Look forward to seeing you next Sunday.
