Saturday 1st September

On Saturday we had our all day crop and this time we had a shop provided by MAKE THE MOMENT LAST. Jackie brought along the most wonderful stash that made us all want to drool and then stroke it. I think we all spent too much money. Here are a few photos of the shop and the fab Jackie.




This month my class was a little house (i got the templete from Stampington & Co website). It is just so cute made up and you can make all sorts of different ones.
Below you can see the houses that i made and a few that were made by the girls on saturday.

HAND DRAWN LETTERING

This is exactly what it says, a drawing and colouring-in class, so a very basic kit is needed.
Pencil (hb or softer)
Rubber (ESSENTIAL)
Ruler
Black fine-line pen
Colouring-in stuff (pencil crayons, watercolour pencils, felt tips, gel pens, paint ANYTHING!!)
I will provide white cardstock squares to try out the letters, but if you fancy drawing on coloured, or water-colour paper or old socks, bring your own!!

If you have a layout that needs a big word title - eg "Summer" "Snow", or a name, or even one BIG word and some smaller ones, bring it , and we'll see what we can do!

My Class

I hope that you will enjoy this months class. We will be looking at using the techniques that i gave you at the last two crops.
This is as always an optional extra.

You will need

Paint
Paint brushes
Inks
rubber stamps
Netting (that comes with fruit)

My version of the 'milkman's wallet'

It's taken a while to get my camera and the wallet in the same room with batteries which work! But here it is.

Multi Photo Layout

Here's a photo of my Surf's Up LO as requested by Jan :)

I sponged white acrylic paint on the title cardstock, the letters were clear freebies from SI mag which I painted on the back with white acrylic.

Layouts from last Saturday

Here, a bit late, are the layouts from the class last weekend. Please add yours for us to see!!

Photos of the Day

Magic ATC Holder

Here is the class that i designed and taught at the crop yesterday. If you wish to do this you can Download the instructions.
I also have a few kits left which includes everything you need apart from embellishments. The paper included is Basic Grey Stella Ruby. It will cost £5 including P&P.
To order email me on bellatheboss@yahoo.co.uk

You will Need for the Techniques

Paint
Brushes
Netting (that comes with fruit)

You may think I have gone mad but trust me i know what i'm doing.
I kow you will love what is done with it in the end

LAYOUT CLASS UPDATE

One of the layouts involves sticking the photos down and then applying them to the page. To do this you need acid/lignin free paper or cardstock, BUT IT WON'T BE SEEN! Here is the chance to get rid of those sheets of patterned paper you bought by mistake. (I used Asda cardstock - because I NEVER make mistakes!! - because I had a sheet on my desk and was too lazy to move!!)
12 x the height of your photos. Mine were 3inch, but there's no rule!!

LAYOUT CLASS

There will be a sketch layout, but I am bringing several ideas for multi-photo layouts. You will need LOTS of photos. One layout features EIGHT square 3x3 photos, one a mixture of shapes and sizes, one needs images that are taller than they are wide, but actual size isn't critical. Cardstock, patterned paper, and any embellishments you like. Emphasis is on the placement of the photos - the rest is personal choice.

WATCH THIS SPACE!

Technique Class

Now i know exactly what I'm doing for this class i can pass on the right information to you.

This time its a fun class that i think you will enjoy.
A FULL KIT will be provided.
Yes you did hear right the only things you will need to bring are the following

Paper trimmer
Scissors
Ink pads
Embellishments
Adhesive
Very narrow double sided tape

Here is a little peek of it. You may want to add brads and flowers and thinks like that. I'm not giving you any more than that as it needs to be a surprise. The paper is Basic Grey Stella Ruby which will be in the kit. Here you can also see the kit (Patterned paper will be different)

We have a shop coming

The wonderful MJ is bringing her shop for us on the 12th May. She always has such wonderful stuff so you'll need to bring your pennies.

Technique File

This is the file that is going to be used as the technique file at the next Saturday crop. It is from Paperchase and costs just under £4. It is pictured open here and ready to alter. It does have a black elastic tie to hold it closed (not pictured) which can be taken off to decorate.

Class download
