Scrap attack 2009

So it was that time of year again when the loverly Dyan from art from the heart packs the contents of her studio and makes the long drive with emmi to come see us in the N E of scotland.

So we had 2 wonderful days being taught paint techniques, alcohol inking, stamping and beeswaxing. We all had hisey fits when she said we had to make christmas baubles and paint christmas trees but it was all ok in the end.

ON the monday we had an extra day of art journalling which was wonderful and left me wanting to get going again.

Here are a few pictures



















A great time was had by all and we are booked for next year already.

Off to my bed, flu has got a grip

Scrap attack projects

I have finished a few projects this weekend. I so loved making this little accordian book using the fab 7 gypsies Hudson Valley papers that i started making another one straight away.







Here is the one i did at the class with Dyan and the one i made in a wedding theme for my friend who got married last month. I added additional & gypsies papers in reds and browns to give it a more warmer romantic feel.











I also finished my technique mirror but waiting for DH to put some string on the back before i photo it. I also finished my ATC box and my smile mobile but will upload later in the week.

I am loving my mini books at the moment, lol

Scrap Attack 2008

Well i am absolutely shattered as we have just had our big crafting event. As regular readers will know, i am part of a local craft group called Aberdeen craft group. We meet up every fortnight in sandra's shop, Crafter's Haven, Banff for our crop and a right good time is had by all.

Now ACG are lucky in that we have been able to invite Dyan reavely of Blonde Moments to come and teach for us. This is the second time she has made the time to Travel hundreds of miles to teach us and we really appreciate it.

The weekend was a hige success and everbody attending had a great time. The 6 lessons where put together carefully and nobody from the beginner to the advance was left behind or sat twindling thumbs.

The food prepared by the girls was outstanding and Sandra did a fantstic job of keeping us fed and watered, lol

and Dyans Shop, what can i say.....outstanding. A great mix of Blonde moments individual stuff, rangers, Tim holtze, 7 gypsies, Basic Grey, maya road, the list goes on.

Here are a few pics but i will embedd the rest in the right hand side.










Here are my shopping stash pics. I didnt get all i wanted as alot sold out, i nearly got squashed in the stampede, lol











And i won the ATC challenge which i was pleased about as i used all the paint techniques we learnt last year to make my backgrounds. I also one a prize in the raffle as well, so an all round perfect day to a perfect weekend.





And here is the good news. Dyan had such a good time that she agreed to come back to us again next year for our third event. The date is still to be confirmed but it is likely to be the 5th and 6th September 2009.

The cost will be around the same price as this year of £200 but is subject to a slight increase. But if you book and pay your £50 deposit before the end of October you will receive a £10 discount of the cost of the package. To book either email me or click on the Crafter's Haven link on the right hand side to find all Sandra's details.

Why not take advantage of the years notice and start saving now. Sandra is more than happy to take payment in installments and operate a savings club.

That's all for now

Love

Not much going on....

The weather is pants up here in the NE of Scotland which is not very good for my creative juices. We just want to curl up under the duvet and watch the disney channel all day. Where has the sunshine gone.

anyway, i spent the day tidying up my blog and added some new features, thanks to sharon and her fab blog i now have picasso galleries and snap viewing. Looks so much streamlined dont you think, lol

Anyway, i have a few sneak peaks for our upcoming craft event here in the NE featuring Dyan Reavely of blonde moments and art from the heart.







looks really good doesnt it. You can find all the info on sandra's blog or our main thread on UKS

Just look at this lushness that arrived from Ribbon Oasis yesterday. I cant wait to get started with it as i love browns at the moment. There is even some christmas ribbon in the bunch. Christmas in august i hear you say, well we might as well as we seem to have winter 12 month's of the year lately.



And i shall leave you with this little cutie.





I dont think the new pooch appreciates the world of crafting yet. But he better not take a fancy to my stash. He has already discovered that an embossing tool makes a fine teething chew!!!!!

that's all for now folks but i may be back later as i am restless and need to craft.
