Next crop 14 August
It seems the hot item for 2011 is the "Smash Book" by K & Co. What the heck is a smash book, you ask?
Its a traditional style scrapbook but with a modern twist, a fun way of keeping your memories. For some of us it brings back memories of childhood or teenage years when we kept books with doodles, ticket stubs, photos, quotes and random writings. You may have seem similar items in the shops often they are sold as travel journals or garden journals .. you get my drift. Lots of places to write, stick and stuff stuff.
Well you know me, I took one look and thought "we can make these", but I think we should call them "Write, Stick and Stuff books".
So at the crop we'll have a go. All you need is:
3-4 sheet scrapbook paper (double sided cardstock is best)
patterned paper for the covers
scrapbooking embelishments: stickers, pockets, in fact anything you can find
plain paper or thin card for blank pages
ruled and squared paper*
pre-printed journal pages*
2 pieces chipboard for the covers**
bind it all wires**
* I have printable files for these, so if you would like them just email me.
** If you don't have any chipboard or wires we have some at the crop
I made mine an A5 sizes with 25 pages, I also used a wide piece of elastic to hold the book together with a loop for a pen or glue stick, so you can take it with you everywhere to write, stick and stuff stuff...
These are great for using up odd cardstock and stickers that you've had laid in the cupboard and will never use - so use them in your WSS book. They would also be a fab present for someone who would like to start scrapbooking and I'm sure children will love these too....
See you all next week..

Next Crop 24th July
Poems, Quotes and Titles
How often do you see a poem, quote or title in a magazine or online and think "that's great - I'll remember that ... " Then a week or so later when you create a layout or journal page and think what was that quote I saw last week and you cannot remember it. Well this is an opportunity to never forget, we will create a mini book you can keep in your bag so you can write down or cut out and keep those poems, quotes and titles so they can never be forgotten.
You will need:
6-10 sheets A4 copier paper
A4 stiff card
scrapbook papers
ribbon
Stamp and ink pad (to create shadow stamping)
If you love the above idea, why not create a larger book to keep at home to transfer all that information into. I created mine using a A4 ring file which I cut down to size (purchased for 90p from Sainsbury's), decorated with scrapbook papers and created plain and pocket pages for the inside.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the 24th.

Chris has created a lovely layout for the crop project using gorgeous butterfly dies that will be available to use at the crop.
She has used 1 sheet 12x12 plain cardstock with 2 pieces patterned cardstock, journaling card, some lettering and quote strip (you could create your own), photo turn and brad, small metal frame, some small flowers, small tag, scalloped circle and of course the gorgeous butterflies which you can cut from patterned paper.
