Weather

Due to the severe weather conditions we have decided to CANCEL the Crop on Sunday.

Look forward to seeing you all at the next crop on the 7th February.

We have also emailed all our members and would be grateful if you could confirm you've got the message.

Keep warm ... Jackie & Chris

Next Crop - 10th January

Hope you all had a fab Christmas and New Year and enjoying this lovely weather!!!!

It will be soon time to get back into our Scrapbooking routine with our first crop for the new year on the 10th January. As we discussed at the AGM our first project will be from www.pagemaps.com. I'm sure you all have some great Christmas pictures you need to scrap so this layout should be just what you need.

Crop Dates for 2010

Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and enjoying the holidays. I've posted the updated Crop dates for you all on the right hand side.

Keep coming back to check out the project details for our first crop in 2010 on the 10th January.

Have a good new year and look forward to seeing you all soon..

Happy New Year from Pauline, Chris and Jackie***

Christmas Crop - 6th December

Next crop is on the 6th December when we will have a Christmas Project (see sneeky peak below), a festive lunch and our AGM.

For the project you will need to bring:

3 or 4 sheets of Xmas patterned paper

Xmas coloured cardstock for matting

Plus any glitter, diamante, ribbon, buttons and bits and pieces of embellishments.

Paint or inks, rubber stamps and embossing are optional.

We will have some surprise goodies for you but we are keeping that a secret. Everyone who would like to take part is asked to contribute £2 towards the cost.

At lunchtime we'll have a Christmas lunch and would be grateful if everyone could bring something along to share.

At 12.00 noon our AGM will begin when we can all chat about plans for the coming year and enjoy our lunch.

If anyone would like to join the committee, nominate someone or would like to know more please let us know if possible in advance of the meeting, we desperately need more people to help, even if its just a little bit, we want our crop to continue to be a success and your help, input, comments are always welcome.

We also need your suggestions for tools/equipment etc that we could purchase during the coming year, or if you any other suggestions please let us know.

Next Crop - 8th November

I hope you have all recovered from our marathon scrap, what a fantastic day it was I do hope you all enjoyed it - Chris and I certainly did. It was great to see all your smiling faces once you had all finished your projects - well done.

I've been doing some half pages recently to record my kitchen transformation (which is still ongoing) and I thought it would be good fun if we did them for a crop project, they are nice and easy, quick and great fun to do. They also fit into your 12x12 album.

To complete two pages you will need:
- 12x12 page protector
- needle and thread or sewing machine
- 3-4 sheets plain and patterned co-ordinating cardstock/papers
- fancy scissors or edge punch
- chipboard shapes
- flowers
- lettering for title
- plain cardstock to journal onto
- ribbon
- strip of printed acetate but you can use ribbon or a paper
- Photo's (1-4"x5" and 2-3"x4.5")
Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday.
