Twenty 11 resolutions....

Super Sunday Spent at Sandon

try saying that quickly lol. Anyway it really was lovely we had some glorious weather which made us all feel good to start with. We then sampled the latest techniques in our crop class. We took along some fabulous stash for our lovely scrappers to stroke and buy. We also had our youngest EVER scrapper turn up - 10 weeks old - and definitely the star of the crop! See for yourself......

and here we are busy scrapping

Want to see us ALL ? here you go

Special thanks to Susan from Blue Hedgehog Photography who took our photos (she didn't want to be in any - but we managed to get one in the end!)

....and to tempt you into shopping for Christmas ........how about this beautiful memo holder from Kaisercraft

We have used Bella Boulevard and Prima to decorate. We think it would make a GREAT Christmas pressie - undecorated for a crafter or all finished for the non-crafter - perfect

or from Maya Road can we tempt you with these bargain key chains

and finally a Christmas Tree Coaster Book that we thought was begging to be a banner

and a close up of one of the letters- they were all made the same way

Hope to see you there!!

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 .......

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

Pine Punch and Grass

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
