MME Andrea Victoria

OK, so I am still here but been completely sidetracked with card making and scrapbooking has had to take a back seat for a while....but I am back on top of things now so hopefully posts should return to being a bit more regular!

Monday 22nd June is my next scrapbooking class...we are using the stunning papers by MME. Please don't hate me but I love this range....very different to anything else on the market colour wise at the moment. I just hope you love them as much as I do....they suit colour, sepia and b&w photos. Its a mix of gray/black with deep creams and ochres....would suit any theme. I am just putting the final touches to my layouts for class but as usual as I have gone to print the photos I have run out of one colour ink...so photo sizes will be forwarded in the next day or so. Its £15.00 for the class, we start at 10.30 and usually finish mid afternoon. If you would like to come please email me on Jackiedasilva@talktalk.net to reserve a place.

If you cant come but would like to come along to my all day crop on Sunday 28th June ....I still have spaces. £15.00 again from 9.30 to 5.00, prices includes free tea/coffee/cakes etc and a kit for either a mini book or layout{still working on that one} you dont have to do the kit on the day, you get full instructions to complete it at home. The hall I am using is the WRVS hall in Benfleet. Again email me to reserve a place.

To be going on with here is a layout I did with some papers I had left over from the Basic Grey Marrakech kit. The stamps are Heidi Swapp for the Precious and Technique Tuesday for the journalling. I have left that one blank as these pages are for someone elses album and I am going to let them do their own journaling. The photo turn are a Sizzlet die....everything else is BG.

Back soon ....promise;)

Basic Grey Marrakech

Another layout from the retreat, this time a class I did with Annie Hafermann. Marrakech is a fab collection of papers....its quite alot brighter and bolder than previous collections Basic Grey have brought out but I love it especially for boys and men layouts. All the papers and embellishments are from the same collection, the title has been cut out of chipboard using Ellison alphabet Go Slim and then inked with a cats eye chalk pad.

Hope you are having a great Easter!

Some more Basic Grey Marrakech

Happy Valentines day...hopefully you will recieve lots of flower and choccies today from your loved ones!!

Spent some more time working with the new Basic Grey Marrakech papers yesterday

Everything on this page is from the kit and the brads are from the same range as well.

Have a great weekend!

Basic Grey Marrakech

So my stash ban did not last as long as it should have but its all Basic Greys fault!! I have had this photo since last summer and with a quite bright blue and orange in it, its been a devil to match papers to.....well thats my excuse!! So when I saw the Marrakech range by BG at CHA last month, I had to have it and the whole collection pack as it would have been rude to have just a few papers from the collection....I might have missed something..hehe! I have noticed alot of retailers now are not stocking the entire range of all the BG paper ranges and I can see why...there are usually 4 collections at a time (although BG are splitting the releases in 2 the others in a few months time) there are lots of 12x12 papers then you have all the embellishments as well. By getting the collection pack you get all the papers and sticker sheet plus an alphabet and it does not take up anywhere as much room in a shop as having everything individually...plus it helps with their costs.

Anyway back to the layout....everything on the page came from the pack except the American Craft thickers I used for the title.
