Spring is almost here

and so is Mothers day. Great quality patterned paper, glitter, flowers and buttons! and borders too.

For March's layout class I am planning another wonderful layout with these bright vintage feel papers from SassafrassLass.

I haven't picked a date for this class yet - possible 27 March.


Let me know if you want to come to this class.

Ooh La La

What have you got planned for Valentine’s Day?
A nice romantic meal for two?
Maybe a semi-romantic meal with the kids?
Will you be getting engaged?
Married possibly?
Or maybe you don’t even know.

Whatever you get up to, this heart shaped mini album (wood album) would be perfect to preserve your memories and thoughts. With space for up to 24 small photographs you can use this album for so many lovely occasions.

Even as a future gift for the celebrations of a wedding. Well, anything you love actually. Your children, car, shoe collection etc.... there are so many uses for this album that you are only limited by your imagination!

Let’s talk about this class. It is a two part class because it can take 4 hours + to completely finish this album – but is so worth it! You will be taught by myself and Janet. The kit contains everything you need to finish this album to 100% perfection (minus the photographs). You can choose a paper collection that best fits your theme (or if you can’t please ask us to find you some more paper choices).

Have I entrapped your creative minds? Sign up for this class HERE.

Love

Our class for February's scrapbook is next week (still plenty of time to sign up for the class - I think we will only have around 3 people in this class so you will definitely have a lot of space to spread out! 

Embellishment Pack

I am working on the Love themed Valentine Cards that you will be able to make with the left overs from the layout.  I might be able to get a 4th and 5th card made.  The amount of cards you can make will depend on how many hearts (how much of the paper) that you use on the layout.  I still have some felted hearts to use - will show you when they are ready to be photographed.

Just a quick sneak peak at February's mini album class.  I love this mini album and these papers are just pure perfection.  This example still isn't finished - need to add some embellishments (paper flowers) and the photographs.

When it is 100% completely finished it will look so gorgeous!

You can sign up for this mini album class here or if you aren't up for the mini album challenge this month's double page layout is here.  And yes, there are spaces left.

A Fun And Funky Layout

for Valentines Day. I had fallen in love with this all these hearts and ribbons. I just need to find some photographs that fit in with the lovely colours and style.

 I have been asked by a student/participant to make this kit predominately blue. I think it will look gorgeous with more blue.I tested the main part of the layout on blue cardstock, and with blue ribbon added it will be lovely. (This isn't the completely finished design - it does have more of it).



A few little teasers of the LOVE layout.  The sparkly ribbon is so pretty and just adds the right amount of zing.

Just one of the felted heart shapes.
I can't wait to teach this class and see what everyone makes.  Even though you will be using the same kits, these layouts always pick up the personality of its maker.

If you would like to sign up for this kit please see this post.

almost almost

the supplies for the layout class should be arriving soon! I can't wait! but how will I do at teaching this Saturday? I think I'll do a good job - I don't really think of it as teaching - more like helping people create these layouts for themselves.

I will take a photograph of all the yummy supplies when they arrive. What are you interested in learning about paper crafts?

February Mini Album Class CANCELLED

Mini albums rock! They are so cool and fun to make. Also making great birthday presents and amazing coffee table books.


This mini album will be available for you to see in the January class which will be held at our home since we only have one 'student', along with the double page layout for February.

 You have a choice of three paper collections to use for this class.  You get three sheets, one of each design.  We will also be using paper flowers on this album along with some alpha letters - I will make sure that they fit with the paper collection you choose.

Collection 1: Hot Pink and Black
 Collection 2: Bright Blue and Pink
 Collection 3: Elegant Black and Cream

Part One:
DATE: 20 February 2011
TIME: 2-4pm
LOCATION: The Hut Rex Printers
COST: £35
PLACES AVAILABLE: 6

Part Two:
DATE: 26 February 2011

TIME: 2-4pm
LOCATION: The Hut Rex Printers
COST: £5
PLACES AVAILABLE: 6

Once again, since I want to introduce you to new scrapbook designers and products that you can't get in Guernsey these supplies need to be ordered from England. Please sign up for this class and pay in advance by Wednesday 16th to avoid disappointment.  If for some reason this album is unavailable, we will be making another heart themed album that will have the same feel and effect.

This is a multi part class because they can take two classes to finish but you don't have to come to both classes.  You get the full instructions and everything you need for this so can finish it at home.

Happy 2011

What did you all get up to at New Years? We stayed home and watched some movies.  At Midnight we did hear the fireworks that went off somewhere near by.

Had a nice lazy holiday and even got some crafting done. But now is the time to get serious and get our scrapbook layout and mini album classes to the attention of more people.  And I have to get some of my scrapbook pages from August done!  I have so many photographs that need to be scrapped and I have to plan the layout and colors of my new craft room too!  I am working on a special layout for my Resolutions. Did you make any?

Lastly, I would like to thank Martine and Christine for mentioning our group in there newsletters.  If you want to sign up to Craft In Gsy's monthly newsletter please just flick me an email with Newsletter as the subject.
