Crops and Retreats

Thursday, 12 August 2010


In between ordering all the LUSH new products from this summers CHA we managed to squeeze in a small but perfectly formed crop in the shop on Sunday. If you missed it details for future crops are here.

We seem to be having a bit of a thing with the fab papers from Kaisercraft - Le Chateau both Sue and Chris were using them. Chris was making an amazing house mini album and Sue was using up the rest of the papers from her LO here. They do a long way....


She also used .......
....these fabby little alpha stickers from My Little Shoe box - so many colours!! Thickers, Heidi Swapp Clear acetate ghost shapes

We also mentioned in our last email that Sue had bought Bo Bunny Sophie papers this is the result

Flower Child

not a person the collection from Bo Bunny!! Sadly we are now running low on stocks of this but we we wanted to share a very simple LO made using this collection.


We cut the middle out of the paper so we could add yellow cardstock. Loads of flowers were cut out of the patterned paper and we adhered them in a cluster some flat and some on 3D pads

Leaves were punched using these


Photos were matted onto red paper that had been punched with this - Dot Edger Punch arguably the best border punch :) - or maybe not we have more here

Easy peasy LO

Cropped Out - again


...and we are back with more news and photos from last weekends Mini Retreat.

Remember we told you about the gorgeous LO designed by Ifa Zainon - well we have a photo.




Worth waiting for yes? - The kit is made up from Crate Paper Brooke Collection and we have a few left for sale. We also have a couple of the previous kit we shared Bee Happy from Nikki Sivils - Just give us a ring or email us Both kits are JAM PACKED with papers and embellishments more than enough for just one LO.

and to prove how hard we worked - Chris (fab Cheesecake maker), Jo and Dawn -

and Mary and June


The third kit we were GIVEN was made up from Jillibean Soup - this was our 'Ready Steady Scrap' kit. Which come with rules - easy enough you have to deign a LO add it to the gallery - 'stick it on the wall' lol and use ONLY what is in the kit no extras although you can use tools.

We had some fabulous LO's - all the papers are double sided and the LO's all look so different. We then got to vote for our favourite LO - we had 3 winners and the photos for this will be posted next time - so come back they are worth a look.

So finally some pictures of US in the glorious sunshine
