Our 12 hour Crop

Was a great success - 12 hours of uninterrupted scrapping - well we obviously stopped to chat laugh and feed!! Its is lovely to scrap with other people. If you haven't cropped with us ring the shop and book in quickly - its great fun.

We did a couple of LO's using some old Prima papers that were quite boy specific so we tried to use them in new ways. This was the result



I then continued to crop using the NEW papers from Nicky Sivils these are to die for. I used Flaming Butterfly - I am working my way through the rest of her collections :)



Another popular collection was the NEW Prima papers Dawn and Sue were both using them

a Crop of CROPS!!!

Lets start with last Fridays - a fab crop in the shop on Friday evening. Its so lovely being in the shop because if you need / must have anything its there.

This LO was finished with Maya Road Pom Pom trim great for LO's and if you watch the latest additions we have some new trim coming soon


Our next crop is our 12 hour one on Saturday 13th March from 10am to 10pm. If you have not already booked your space, you can do so here or feel free to call with credit card details.




We will be using the fun and bright papers from Prima as well as lace cardstock and we will be creating 2 page layouts. While one of the papers is ‘Boy’ specific, it is double sided and the reverse side is more neutral so your photos don’t have to be of boys.

Fame at last!!


...it's true Lorraine has been rubbing shoulders with the best of them!




She returned from the Trade show over the weekend. The Ranger on the Road class was a real blast! Tim Holtz, Suze Weinberg and Claudine Helmuth teamed up to put together a fabulous class. The result?


This decorative Mirror frame which includes pieces created using Melt Art, Gesso, Multi-Medium and Claudine’s absolutely fantastic line of paints, sticky backed canvas, Tim’s new shades of distress inks and papers, alcohol inks, his new stamps and sooo many techniques to boot! I was blown away by all the stuff I learnt over the weekend and I just can’t wait to share it with you all.
Watch this space for upcoming classes…. We have already taken delivery of Tim’s new Distress Inks and His new book and have they been popular! Restocks are due shortly together with Claudine Helmuth’s full range of paints and Mediums.
