Next Crop - Sunday 1st February

Hope you are all looking forward to the next crop.

Circle Journal: Don't forget all those taking part in the Circle Journal will need to bring their journals ready to pass on. Make sure they are in a box or bag to keep them safe and help prevent them from getting damaged. If you aren't going to be at the crop please let us know asap.

Crop Project: is a 12x12 layout with one large photo and some bits of patterned of paper, its a good layout to use up some of those scraps you've got lying around and have been scared to throw away. Lots of distressing and inky edges too.

Tools you will need:

Trimmer, scissors, sandpaper, ruler, pencil, chalk ink pad, fancy edge scissors and/or edge punch.

Materials required:

1 sheet 12x12 plain cardstock

3 - 4 pieces of co-ordinating patterned cardstock/paper

Landscape photo 7"x5" (minimum size)

Ribbon/lace

Swirl shapes (or cardstock to handcut your own - we have some templates at the crop)

Flowers (1 large and a few smaller ones)

Brads/diamantes for the centre of flowers

Journaling card

Lettering for title (stamps or sticky)

Apologies for the layout above, I did this in a hurry using digi papers and elements, I'll try and create a real layout for the crop...

Trip to Great Northern Papercraft Extravaganza - Saturday 28th March: The cost will be approx £9 per person for the bus and £2.50 entrance fee. If you havn't got your name on the list and would like to come along please let us know asap. Details of departure/return times will be confirmed once we have confirmed the bus.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 1st.

Next Crop - 11 January 2009

Happy New Year - hope you are ready for another bumper year of scrapbooking. Chris and I would like to say thank you to everyone for supporting the crop over the last year....and we are looking forward to another exciting year.

The first crop of the year will be on Sunday 11^th January 10.00am until 4.00pm. The annual membership fee is due and I’d be grateful if you could complete the Membership Form I've e-mailed to you, and bring it with the necessary fee to the crop, if you havn't received a copy please let me know.

Crop Project:

The project will be a 12x12 layout using two sheets plain cardstock and 3 photo's, to complete the project you will need:

2 – 12x12 sheets cardstock (I've used black and cream)
1 portrait photo 10x15cm
2 x portrait photos 5x10cm
Ribbon to co-ordinate with cardstock

But don't forget there will be plenty of cardstock available at the crop.

All those who are taking part in the circle journal may wish to spend the time working on their journals. Chris and I will be on hand if anyone needs assistance.

Craft Fair

We hope to organise a trip to The Great Northern Papercraft Extravaganza held at the Showground in Harrogate this show is held twice a year on the 28/29^th March (Sat/Sun) and 12/13^th September (Sat/Sun), unfortunately both dates clash with Crop dates, if you are interested please let us know which dates/days you prefer, we will have to go with the majority vote and will need to know the numbers as soon as possible so we can organise and get prices for the bus etc.

Savings Scheme

Following the success of last year’s saving scheme we’ll be doing the same this year, starting in February. You will be able to save as little or as much as you want to help pay for the trip to Harrogate and the 12 Hour Crop to be held in October.

Looking forward to seeing your all again in a couple of weeks.

Regards... Jackie* and Chris*
