Valley Park Crop

Hi Ladies

The scrapbooking and card making event took place yesterday with 20 lovely ladies joining us for the day. We had a lovely time with a scrapbooking demo by Aly in the morning followed by a buffet lunch which got very good feedback from the ladies.
The theme for the day was birth-days with the ladies doing a layout similar to the one above. There was a selection of papers to choose from with the ladies able to choose whether they wanted to do pink or blue depending on their photos. The background was Certainly Celery and there was an assortment of embellishments to use. The interesting use of the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch on the square piece of card at the bottom of the page will be used again in other projects. 
In the afternoon I then demonstrated a card and a box using the lovely Mocha Morning papers.

I made these a few months ago at a training day held by Jo and thought they would be great for a demo.The card uses the Elementary Elegance stamp which is part of the Sale a Bration that finishes at the end of March . You can get this stamp free if you spend £45 in the current catalogue so if you would like a stamp for free please get in contact with me. The box uses the mini milk carton die which has lots of different ways to use it.
Ladies deep in concentration, working on the scrapbooking page.
As you can see we have a digital scrapper who find similar papers to the ones we are using and does similar layouts

Our next event will be held on Saturday 5th May in Valley Park Community Centre which is  in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire. If you would like to join us please let me know.

Please come back tomorrow when I will be continuing with my blog challenges.

Lovely as a tree

Image
Both the Less is More Challenge  and the Simply Stampin Challenge  have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week. The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
