Weekly Scrapbooking

Here is the sneak peak from Thursdays scrapbooking class!!!!  We used a selection of papers from the Making Memories Paper Reverie range.

And here is the class all busy beavering away



Hmmm quite tidy for a change!!  Mind you this was taken before Wendy handed out some gorgeous 'just baked' fairy cakes to go with the coffees. 

Ooh La La Card Class Photo's

Today saw the second Copic Class at Grimsby Crafts

Firstly a thank you to the guys (the added entertainment) - the table was perfectly repaired for the Grand Calibur to use.

and although we are still a little slow with the copic colouring, due to the pen distribution and on this occasion selling out in the shop of the colours used in the class, didn't we all get on well.  The colouring is coming along nicely and we didn't half make a mess with the distressing and the feathers but then isn't that what crafting is about.

Here are the photo's from today's class

I booked the official photographer and he was so discreet that no one noticed him taking the photo's.

Everyone got busy straight away

My someone is concentrating on distressing those edges with the scissors

eyes down!! but better than a game of bingo any day

Loved all the banter - think this class is going to be renamed 

"Morrisons class of 2011"

everyone knows everyone from Morrisons :)

A little one to one tutorial

Star book class photo's

Sunday saw the first of the all day classes and it was a great success.

The old favourite star book went down really well.

In fact it certainly kept them all busy.

I'm just sooooo pleased Lynn was there to make sure we were all fed and watered.

Everyone was so pleased when their books were completed. Sorry that we didn't get everyone on the photo.

Here's a couple of snips from the next class.

Pretty, pretty......

with yummy Crafty Individuals stamps..

punches... die cuts and flowers......

Keep looking back for more sneak peaks soon....

The Trade Show and todays class.

This post is being made on behalf of Lynn as she is just so busy at the moment, but really wants to get the blog up and running, so here goes............

A great time was had by all last weekend at the Trade Show at the NEC in Birmingham, here's the queue, waiting patiently for the Tim Holtz / Ranger workshop.

Here's the man himself, Tim Holtz. What WAS he saying?

We had our photo's taken with him, in fact I think everyone on the class did.

We managed to make 3 small canvas' in the class. This was the favourite, using the new distress stains, tissue tape and Sizzix dies, along with other Ranger goodies.

Speaking of classes, the 'star book' class is almost full now, I 'm looking forward to taking a full days class again.

It has a real pretty vintage style to it and is ready to add photo's.

This is how the book looks when it's open.

These are samples of the plaques we made last week.

We used a variety of stamps from Paper Artsy and Crafty Individuals.

and a variety of embellishments, combined with heat embossed elements.

I'll leave you with the sample of the card we made today in class. Everyone made their own unique 'masterboard' then created the tiles in their chosen colours. Each one was so different.
Well that's it for now. I think Polly will be showing you some of her lovely creations soon. Lynn is just so busy at the moment so we are holding the fort until she can get her head around 'blogging'.
