Next Crop - 9 January 2011

Hope you all had a great break and a ready to start a new year of scrapbooking. I'm sure you all have taken lots of photographs over the Christmas and are eager to record the festivities in a scrapbook page, for the first crop of the year we've put together a double page spread that you can include lots of your photographs and I'm also sure (like me) you have lots of Christmas papers that rarely get used so we are going to combine the two and create a great memorable page.

You will need:
2 - 4x6 portrait photo's
1 - 6x8 landscape photo (or approximate size)
1 - 6x4 landscape photo
1 - 3x5 portrait photo (approx)
2 sheets 12x12 plain cardstock
3-4 sheets 12x12 christmas patterned cardstock
3 - 12" pieces of ribbon or rickrack
3-4 brads
Christmas stickers/embellishments
Plain cardstock for journaling and mounting some of the photo's
The usual sticky stuff etc.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 9th. We will be holding the Crop in the back room instead of the hall, we found it warmer, cozy and more sociable, unfortunately there is less space so you may have to share a table.

See you all soon ... Jackie and Chris

Journaling Prompt for December

Well this is the last prompt for this journal. Did you manage to keep up and do an entry every month? Don’t worry if you didn’t you can always catch up. Use your December entry to record your memories of Christmas either this year or of a previous year. What Christmas traditions do you have? What last minute Christmas preparations did you make? What was your best (or worst) Christmas present or what was the most unusual or unexpected?

You could also use this entry to record your New Year Eve traditions. Is your New Year quiet stay at home and see the new year in with family and friends or do you like to party? Looking back did you keep last year’s resolutions? What are your resolutions going to be for the coming year?

For art journals lets add some bright colours, glitter or bling to finish the year on a sparkly note.

Happy New Year

Chris & Jac
