Very Sad Day 2Day as I'm Leaving the Scrappin Patch Design Team....

By now most of you will have read the newsletter and be aware that I am leaving the Scrappin Patch Design Team.
This is for personal reasons and the fact that time has come to let others take the reigns for a while and inspire you all further with new and fresh ideas. When I was asked to join the Design Team 2 years ago my main aim was to try and make people think about their scrapping and try new things and maybe even challenge themselves, and to look outside the square even if just a little and see what they come up with, it really is to easy to stay with the tried and true, sometimes it does you the world of good to jump outside ....you never know you might like it!
I have totally enjoyed my time with Scrappin Patch and the friendships I have made along the way and I sincerely hope to keep up with everyones scrappin and achievements in their scrappin endeavours.Adrienne has been a true pleasure to work with and I hope that from time to time she might allow me to take the odd class or 2 or supply kits for the shop. The past and present DT members that I have worked with were and are awesome ladies and scrappers in their own right, and it is especially sad to see that Heidi is also leaving the DT but we both know we are leaving it in capable hands.
Love to All

HhhhhhhEeeeeeLllllllLlllllllOooooooooooooo.....

Yawn ,Yawn, Stretch,Stretch, Scratch, Scratch and Yawn, Stretch and Scratch again....
I am here and am now out of hibernation well thats what it feels like anyway!
I have been told by quite a few people that I havent been around much lately,
and I sincerely apologise the weeks have really just escaped me and you know with today being
the 1st of August its only 4 months till Christmas (thats about 16 weeks incase you missed it)!!!

I have been very busy over the last couple of months taking classes and even a little holiday
I will be back over the next couple of days with some photos of the Holiday and incase you would like to see, I will make sure I have one of the Monkey that took a liking to boobs and I think she decided that mine were better than hers and she was guna have them, but anyway thats a story for another day, I will also be back with some photos of the layouts we have made in the classes I have been teaching and hopefully some sneak peeks of the book that was made yesterday by the lovely Balclutha Ladies and is being finished this friday by the Dunedin Ladies, (it really is quite neat and I love how the papers compliment each other....we used the 7 Gypsies Lille line) and I think the Ladies all loved the book and enhoyed the process of creating theirs....well I hope so anyway!

Ok thats it for now..........dont sit up and wait for the nect installment, it might not happen until Thursday.

Take Care and Hapi Scrappin

A right "Royal" challenge is coming over at Scrappin Patch

Keep your eye's peeled....

Help us celebrate the “Queen’s” birthday
Keep an eye out on the forum, we will posting
some clues for a FABULOUS Challenge which
will be set over the long weekend…..
Great Prizes up for grabs!!!!

So......Why not gather up your supplies and come join us.....

My Books going on a Road Trip....

I am taking my little book on a road trip to Christchurch for the Ladies up there to make,
I am doing this on the 11th June and hopefully the Christchurch ladies will enjoy making it as much as all the ones down south have.
This will be happening at Scrappin Patch Headquarters and should start around 10am, you will not leave without the book being completed (unless you need to or want to!) as I really don't believe in ladies paying for and attending a class and going home with a bag full of nothing and tossing it in the corner, at least finish it before you do that!
Cover to cover there are 12 pages and each one a whole lot different to the last and you will learn a couple of little tricks along the way as well

So if you would like to come along and make this we honey, please let Adrienne know, she will be organising all the finer details on Tuesday after the big trip south for the weekend, and they should be up on the SP forum then.

You will not need anything other than normal goodies, tape, glue, scissors, and sepia ink (only to save you waiting) but everything else apart from photos is supplied, oh and a sense of humour is a must

The more the merrier.....

Happy Scrappin

Mothers Day Cards.....

I made these 2 little cards for the competition I set last week over at Scrappin Patch
Kinda cool aye? considering I'm not a cardmaker I was quite happy with how they turned out...

How was your Mothers Day, I was spoilt and got a nice bag and necklace from Chris and a scrappin apron with a wonderful large pocket in the front and some scratchy tickets (I won $24 ...Yahoo) from Emz and some lovely glove liners from Mike and Sherie In Aussie now my fingers at Rugby wont be like blocks of ice. Then we had roast chicken for dinner with lotz roast veges yum yum yum and gravy

I hope you all were treated like a Queen for the day, you know we deserve it!!!

Happy Scrappin

What a Fantastic Group of Ladies I had.....

....for the wee book class in Balclutha yesterday and thanks to Bronny and her extensive photo taking skills along with tripod and remote we were able to get a great photo, however 2 ladies disappeared before Bronny was set up.

I think all 15 Ladies enjoyed the wee techniques they learn't and I was even happier to see them all go home with a finished project, as I dont believe that you should pay to go to a class and leave with a bag of bitz and an unfinished project, so if you ever come to one of my classes expect to get the project finished before you leave.

Thank you Ladies for a very enjoyable day and I hope to be back in the near future.....

Enjoy Life Book Class

I was asked by OGHS to create an item that the Girls could start and finish in an afternoon, so I came up with this very cool little book. It measures 6 x 6 inches and has lotz of little pockets etc inside for those special memories. Since taking this class I have also run it for friends and acquaintances and they have all really enjoyed the process and I am happy that they have walked away with a finished project.

If you would like to come along to the class for this wee book it is going to be on the 1st of May in Balclutha and there will be a crop afternoon after the class.

The class will start at 9.30am and should be finished by 1pm ready for a bite of lunch and then crop until 5pm.

You will not need specific requirements for the class except for some tape, glue, scissors and inks although I will be providing an assortment of inks, to be used. Photos can be added later.

Please let me know if you would like to attend as I am going to be organising the packs this weekend.

Here is a sneak peek of the cover, can you imagine whats inside..........

Leave me a comment if you would like to come and I will flick you through some more details



Thanks for looking
