12 Hour Crop

Due to unforseen circumstances the date of the 12 Hour Crop has been changed.  The 12 Hour Crop will now be held on Saturday 13 October 2012.  For details see earlier announcement.

Isabella Crop on Sunday 24 June 2012

The next crop will meet as usual at the Isabella Centre, Blyth, Northumberland 10am to 4pm on Sunday 24 June

The project for this crop is called Unfinished Business!

Materials needed:

any unfinished layouts

The objective to this sundays crop is to finish those layouts that have been waiting for that little bit of journalling or a bit of embellishment just to finish it off.

For those members who are organised enough that they don't have any unfinished layouts there will be the file of previous projects to have a look through if you need some inspiration.

12 Hour Crop Announcement

IMPORTANT NOTICE: due to unforseen circumstances the 12 Hour Crop will now be held on Saturday 13 October 2012

The Isabella Crop will once again be holding a 12 hour crop. 

This will be held on Saturday 6 October 2012 at the Isabella Centre, Blyth, Northumberland from 9am to 9pm.

Chris has very kindly agreed to run 2 classes during the day so they will certainly be projects to look forward to.

The cost of the day will be £45 which includes

- your own dedicated workspace

- 1 class in the morning and a second class after lunch

- an endless supply of tea,  coffee and biscuits if you can bear to be parted from Chris’s fantastic projects long enough to partake.

- access to all equipment and materials required for the 2 classes

- additional material pack which should make a number of layouts

- a small supply of basic stash for purchase

- lots of fun and games, prize winning competitions

- and the opportunity to spend 12 hours of guilt free scrapbooking with like minded people

A £10 deposit is required as soon as possible to secure your booking with the balance being due by 31 August 2012.

And for those that attend any of the Isabella crops between now and the 12 hour crop there will be a £1 discount for each full crop attended which gives a potential saving of £4 on the 12 Hour crop price.

If you wish to attend the 12 hour crop then please email a request to Isabellacrop@hotmail.co.uk for a booking form and hand in the completed form with the £10 deposit at our next crop.

Isabella Crop on Sunday 27 May

The next crop is 27 May and as promised we are going to have a Jubilee theme for the day.  The layout by Chris follows a red, white and blue theme. 

   

You will need 

1 sheet 12 X 12 card in either red, white or blue.  There will be some card available on the day to purchase if you don’t already have these colours.   

You need scraps of card in the contrasting colours to mat and for the bunting.   

Also a half a sheet of co-ordinating patterned paper, some ribbon and some string or fibres.   

Chris has also used a variety of rubber stamps to add patterns to the bunting, this is optional.

 

Remember dress code is red, white and blue for the day and there will be a prize for the best headwear (doesn’t have to be a hat but should be in keeping with the theme).  We also have a special raffle prize (Dorothy may try to buy all the tickets for this one so you had better be quick) and we might just manage a challenge with a prize too.  

As it’s a celebration please bring some food to share.  If you can post on here what you will be bringing to avoid everyone bringing the same thing.  Chris says she will be bringing a friendship cake to share as her contribution to the party.

There will also be an announcement about the 12 hour crop so you might want to bring a few extra pennies with you or your cheque book.

This months crop project is a scraplift of a layout that appeared in Scrapbook Etc. 

Materials needed are:

8" by 6" Potrait Photo
Lots of those scraps of paper left over from other projects (co-ordinating or contrasting)
Some embellishments (braids, gems etc)

Crop on Sunday 1st April

Once again Chris has come up with a fantastic layout for us to do at the next crop.

The materials needed for the layout are:

2, 3 or 4 photos around 3"x3" or ones that can be cropped to that size.

1 sheet plain cardstock
4 pieces of co-ordinating patterned papers 6X6 "
or 1 sheet patterned 12 x 12 paper

Card/paper scraps for flowers plus ribbon etc for embellishments

Acrylic paint to co-ordinate with papers plus white or cream acrylic paint as basecoat

There will be some paint available at the crop but colours are limited and may not co-ordinate with your paper.
There will be chipboard and crackle medium available at the crop for a nominal charge.

Crop on Sunday 4 March

This weeks crop project is very simple but I hope you like it.

The photos needed for this are:

Photo 1 - 4 1/2" by 3 3/4"
Photo 2 - 6" by 2 3/4"
Photo 3 - 1 3/4" by 5 1/2"

Please note photo 2 and 3 will need the image in the middle with enough at each end to be able to cut and shape them to fit the box shape without eating into the image.

The materials needed are:

1 sheet 12x12 plus half a 12x12 sheet of a contrast or complementary paper

Some perfect pearls mist, a mask (I used sequin waste) and ink for edges.

Tools needed apart from the usual is a blade for cutting the photo template and photos.

Plus any other embellishments that you would like to add.

See you on sunday
