Have a Little Sunshine!

How about this for an offer!  I have put together a bundle of 12x12 Glitz Design 'Sunshine In My Soul' patterned papers for only £4.00.  It consists of one sheet each of the fabulous 'Sunshine In My Soul' range: Rays, Birds, Floral, Ledger, Stripe, Suns patterned papers.

There is limited stock on this collection bought together and once they are gone ... they are gone!

There are loads of new products coming out shortly in CHA Summer 2013 (next month) and I will be giving you some 'sneaky peeks', as and when I find them.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Leave a comment to let me know you passed by this way.

Scrapbook Club layouts from May

I thought I would share with you these layouts created by club members with last month's kit of Teresa Collins 'Stationery Noted' patterned papers, co-ordinating cardstock and a pack of Teresa Collins 'Stationery Noted' Decorative Buttons.

Layouts using June Scrapbook Kit

I thought I would share with you some of the layouts from Wednesday's Mad Scrappers Club night.

Using this month's kit of Bo Bunny Mama-Razzi2 patterned papers, co-ordinating cardstock, Prima Wood Icons (cameras), and a Prima Chalk Ink Edger, this is what was created by the members:

Capture the Moment by Linda L

 

 

Gotcha! - This is what Janice created using the kit

 

Gillian's creation

 

Brenda P. created this layout

 

I love how everyone gets the same kit but they put their own stamp on it by creating something completely different.  I do have more layouts - you can see them on Facebook.  I have some more layouts from last month that the club members were happy to share and I will feature those tomorrow.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and best of luck in this month's draw.

70's babe

This is the second layout I have created with this months scrapbook kit of Bo Bunny Mama-Razzi2 patterned papers, Bazzill cardstock in Espresso, Yam and Walnut Cream, Prima Wooden Icons (cameras) and Prima Chalk Ink Edger.

The photograph is a polaroid from 1978 as I wanted to create a retro look for this layout using the remainder of the patterned papers from the kit.  I remember that brown and orange was a fashionable combination then and I was delighted when I came across this photograph of my youngest daughter as it was perfect for these papers!

I layered up the Espresso, Yam and Walnut Cream cardstock (gutting out the middles of the first two colours), before adding sections of the 'Contrast' patterned papers.  I inked up the wooden camera icon using the chalk ink edger as before and added Mama-Razzi2 Rub-ons around the outside of the Walnut Cream cardstock.  The title is American Crafts Thickers.

I have one scrapbook kit available to buy and it is available here.

Photo Call

This is the full reveal of the first 'sneaky peek' I posted last week.  Using this month's scrapbook kit of Bo Bunny Mama-Razzi2 patterned papers, co-ordinating cardstock, Prima Wood Icons (cameras) and Prima Chalk Ink Edger.

I used Bazzill Espresso as the base and layered this with Mama-Razzi patterned paper.  I distressed and inked the edges of all patterned papers throughout.

I used cut sections from 'Contrast' patterned paper and made Filmstrip Frames from Espresso cardstock (used a Filmstrip Frames Die).  I made tags from sections of the Contrast patterned paper by adding eyelets and string and cut banner shapes from the same paper.

For the title I used Cosmo Cricket Scripty rub-ons.  I inked the Wood Camera Icon with the Chalk Ink Edger and attached to the layout when dry.

I will reveal the other 'sneaky peek' tomorrow - so pop back then.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Please leave a comment so that I know you have passed by this way.

Club Birthday in pictures!

Just to say a big 'Thank you' to everyone who attended the Mad Scrappers Club last night.  We celebrated our 1st birthday with a cake and some (non-alcoholic) drinks and everyone was happy as you will see from the photo's.  I dread to think how we would have been if there was alcohol involved!

 Not one, but two cakes!

 

Plenty of 'fizz'! 

Plenty of eating and drinking!

and laughter .......!

 

The night was also tinged with sadness as we said 'goodbye' to Paulette, who is moving away from the area and this was her last night at the club!  Paulette has been with us for nearly 6 years - when we were previously located in Boldon C.A. at our last club.  Sorry I couldn't give you a long service medal Paulette but enjoy your scrapbook album!

Edna presented Paulette with her beautiful card (made by Julia) and her present of a scrapbook album

I will be back tomorrow with some of the layouts the ladies have created.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Please leave a comment so that I know you have passed by this way.

Happy 1st Birthday!

It's a 'Happy 1st Birthday' to our scrapbook club (Mad Scrappers) today.  This past year has been fab and we have had new members start and a couple leave (due to various family reasons).  We still have a strong club membership of over 20 ladies, some I have known from a previous club and we have now crafted together for nearly 6 years!

Tonight at the club we will celebrate our 1st birthday together (as Mad Scrappers) with a (non-alcoholic) drink and of course some birthday cake!

Since we started last year we have scrapped with kits including patterned papers from Glitz Design, Bazzill, Graphic 45, Fancy Pants, Echo Park, Prima, Teresa Collins and Bo Bunny.  Future kits will included fabulous patterned papers from Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye and other leading manufacturers.

We have had techniques or new products that have included Canvas Sheets & Dye-Ink Pads, Journal Cards & Stickers, Ranger Distress Pen, Die-cuts & Corrugated Paper, Washi Tape, Paint Dabber, Ranger Distress Ink Pad, Alphabet Stickers, Roller Doodle, Decorative Buttons and Wood Icons & Chalk Ink Edger!  Whew! such a lot of products and still more to come.

I have loved every minute of the club nights and the extra Scrapbook Saturday Workshops we have had as well and look forward to the next year being as successful as the last.  Thank you ladies for making this happen.  Cheers to you all.

I will take some photo's tonight and post them here tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by.
