Simply Stated

The papers that were used in this weeks class are by Dream Street papers and are from the Simply Stated range.

The papers can be brought from the Crafty Cockney and the frame was cut on the cricut machine with the Home Accents cartridge. I am loving this cartridge, so many beautiful designs,I need to send a huge hug to Margaret for letting me borrow her cartridge. 21st and Cancun title were cut on the Street Sign cartridge.

The flourishes were done using the Bazzill stitch templates and then I joined the dots together with a white pencil before going over them all with a white gel pen...makes life alot easier especailly if you are pricking through onto black cardstock.

Off on a retreat at the weekend so looking forward to getting on with some of the many kits I have piled up in my craft room!

Crate Prudence

These are the layouts the girls did yesterday, I love Crate paper, they have changed the texture and weight of the card since I last used it but I think its better now, not quite so thick. The diecut 12x12 sheets are beautiful and there are two designs for each range. The first layout is loosely based on the promotional layout from Crate,the other two are my own designs. Although all my kits have gone I do have some of the diecut sheets left if you are interested.

Crate Prudence

This kit I am using for my class on Monday...for the girls that are coming the photo sizes are for 3 layouts:

1 7x5 land or 2 6x4 port
1 6x4 port
1 or 2 6x4 land or 7x5 port

I have used photos are myself,the kids and family so anything goes.

I will post layouts after the class.

Enjoy the weekend...wrap up warm!!

All day crop

Recovering after a fabulous day yesterday at our all day crop for Southend Scrappers. We had just under 40 ladies scrapping all day, they had a lovely roast at lunch (all the better for not having to cook it yourself)and 2 shops to buy some much needed stash from. The kit they had was from Three bugs in a rug and the main layout is the birthday one, I went on to make another 3 layouts from the kit. The day goes so quickly....roll on January 11th when we do it all again!!

Cosmo Cricket

Just to show you what the girls did in class today. The kit is the Little Boys or Little Girls Biography collection by Cosmo Cricket, together with a seperate sticker sheet, Bazzill and a shaped piece that I have cut on the cricut. In the collection pack you get 12 doublesided 8x8 cardstock, journaling cards, alphabet stickers and another inspiration sheet (as well as my instructions). The girls papers are different patterns and the colours are rosey pink, greens,red and aqua blue's....absolutely beautiful!! I have some of the kits left, they are £9.00, email me if you want one.

Todays scrapbook class

This is what the girls are doing today, I love those spellbinder dies that I got at Ally Pally. They emboss really well and look fantastic when they have been inked and made to look like the beautiful leaves we are seeing now as the trees change colour.I also used my new cricut cartridge street signs for the first time, think this is going to be used quite alot! The other layout has used papers from Making Memories and I had a chance to use my precious stamp at last.

Daisy Bucket

Here are the layouts that the girls did in class this week. I love Daisy Bucket papers..think its the feel of them, very different to normal scrapbooking paper! They had rub-ons and a stamp in this kit as well.
