Crop - 27th January 2008

Hi Girls,

I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and are eager to get started on another year of scrapping with your friends.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF CROP DATE TO - SUNDAY 27^TH JANUARY 2008

We are sorry that the date has to be changed but this is due to the Isabella Centre not being available on the 20^th. All the others dates for the year are as previously planned.

CLASS PROJECT:

We are busy putting together a list of projects for the coming year and to get you started our first project will be a double page scrapbook layout called “Christmas Memories”. This will be a great layout to remember some of your favorite Christmas memories. Some ideas for your layout would be your Christmas gifts, decorations, family get-togethers, opening your presents or just something to remind you of Christmas (anything goes). But there is a catch, you need to do some journaling to go with your photo’s. Here is a sneak preview of the project.

Supplies Required:

· Approx 9 - 2½”x2½” photos (but this size is not crucial as the layout can be altered to suit your own photo’s).

· 2 - 12x12 sheets of plain cardstock (same colour).

· 3 co-ordinating pieces of patterned paper/cardstock (Christmas designs would be nice), you do not need whole sheets as long as one piece is 12” wide.

· 2 co-ordinating pieces of narrow ribbon (approx 4” each).

· 1 - 12” piece of wider co-ordinating ribbon.

· Large lettering/numbers to spell the word Christmas and 07 e.g rub-ons, stickers, rubber stamps, chipboard, die-cut or hand cut from co-ordinating cardstock.

· Journaling block needs to measure approx 6” wide x 3½” deep - your can write/type this at home on a plain piece of paper or cardstock, leave at least a ½” margin all the way round.

We will have a small number of Cosmo Cricket Christmas Paper kits for sale on a first come first served basis.

MEMBERSHIP SCHEME:
