Scrap365 Cover!

I was completely surprised, shocked & stunned to find my LO on the cover of Scrap365 this month. I've also got an article inside on, using up old stuff, namely eyelets as well, which has received a lovely response from many people. So I'm feeling very chuffed. Harry is now a minor celebrity in Abergavenny, and can be found standing next to the Scrap365 Mag, posing.......

Swindon 9th June Crop

Here are the sneak peeks for my class.....the one I forgot I was teaching....for the event I have seen being counted down on Facebook, but forgotten that I was going to!! Not much hope for me really is there!!!
IRL the green is more vibrant - more of a lime green, the yellow is brighter too. I've used 1 portrait 6x4" and 2 portrait 3x2" of my naughty boy himself - Harry...its not a girly girl LO, its more suited to a boy or a fun day out!!
Hopefully I will remember to turn up at the crop - it is in my diary, so hopefully I will !!

At long Bloomin Last !!!

At long last you may say !!! Sorry for the delay but the house is in chaos with the builders in, we've demolished a huge 1970/80's stone clad fire surround (12'x7') - to expose the original fire place....a few major problems whilst doing it, but at least the chimney didn't collapse !!! They are also working in 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms and DH has been decorating the lounge. The dust has been unbelievable, and damp and plaster dust set my asthma off brilliantly, so I've had to stay out of the house quite a bit..... Anyway here are some sneak peeks for Saturdays class at PaperArts.

I've used 3 portrait 3 1/2x 2 1/2" and 1 landscape 3 1/2x 2 1/2....you could use all portrait if you wish, or 2 6x4". Mine has a beach theme as the paper has little fishes on it The colours are mostly red but the background spots are various reds, yellows, pink, orange, blues, brown and greens. Hopefully there will be some spaces left if you'd like to join us !!!
 

Scrap365 publications

These are the two LO's I had published in Scrap365 on behalf of PaperArts as part of their DT . The Vit D Fix was part of the 6 photo challenge, and the other was about things you love/favourite things.

I'm finding I'm using lots of photos on my Layouts at the moment, I still do the odd 1 photo page, but I love the effect of the multi photo page, it gives more of a story and a memory. I think Harry was quite chuffed to be featured this time, Abbie is used to it though, and gets quite jealous if she's not in the magazine and the others are! I think next month is Harry again, then Dan & Abbie the following month, in an article I had to write myself. (Not my strong poing). I'll have to take some of the older children, but they aren't around much any more and certainly don't like having their photos taken !!!

Its about time......

I got and updated my blog, instead of reading everybody elses! This was my last class at PaperArts, and we made extra kits that are available to buy here. I think there are a couple left. The flower paper (Echo Park) I believe, was stunning, and I've saved mine to cut out some more flowers for another LO, in the future. My next class is in May and you can book here, I've no idea what I'm doing yet, but I expect it will involve, inking, distressing and cutting out!

Aprils class at Paperarts

It seems ages since I taught at Paperarts - which it is, I suppose. So I thought I'd best get sorted and get the sneak peeks for the class published.....we'll be making some lovely flowers, and doing a little cutting out, inking and stuff. But it won't be too messy, but you might need some plasters !!!

Sketchbook365

Yahooooooooo, a new sketch challenge blog !!! Scrap365 are running this blog. Once a month a sketch will be posted and then all you have to do is share it with everybody, easy peasy?
As a brand new member of the design team (Oooooooooh), this is my version of Mays' challenge, done in superfast time, ready for the launch (hopefully) today! I would usually have turned it around, made it back to front, on an angle, allsorts of different ways, but I thought for the first one I would try and go with the flow....as they say, so it was easily recognisable.
So if you head over to Sketchbook365, you can get ready to play too, and perhaps win a wonderful scrappy prize !!!

I just added a couple of extra bits to the page as it wasn't quite right....But I'm very happy with it now !!
