Small Photograph Layout

Jennie led our October meeting designing a layout for a small photograph - but also a good layout for utilising those wonderful pages you don't want to cut into!

As well as taking us through the layout she also showed us how to make these flowers using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die.

Despite being the school Autumn holiday and a number of members being away we had a good turnout and enjoyed some of Kay's fabulous home bakes!

Cricut Crazy!

Our June meeting concentrated on using the Cricut and Julie and Jennie both came up with a different layout using various different cartridges belonging to the Group.

The Cricut was in much demand!

Mini Matchbooks : August Meeting

Today Karen showed us how to make these lovely mini matchbook style photo books.

We had a great turnout for this first meeting back after the summer holidays and there was much quiet concentration during the measuring and cutting out!  

We also enjoyed a lovely cake at coffee time made by Kay.

Pop back next month to see our completed books!

June Meeting and lots of embossing

Shetland Scrapbookers met yesterday and we had a lovely morning making a layout with embossed letters and embellishments.

Julie led us through this lovely vintage layout which included making a frame and distressing the edges.  The gate and flourishes were cut on the Cricut using the Heritage Cartridge.  The letter U is covered with tiny little photographs - a great feature.

Then Julie demonstrated how to cover our chipboard letters and embellishments with embossing powder and stamping into them when still hot to create some lovely textures.

Members set to to distress their edges and left them drying in the sunshine which appeared through the morning!  The rest of the morning was spent to the sound of the Cricut and the heat guns working overtime!

Journalling the Every Day

At our May meeting Jennie showed us how to make a Journal from just a few pieces of paper, envelopes and tags. We made board covers and then bound it with the Bind It All.  Most of us made a finished book measuring 6" x 6".

The intention is to use these little journals for noting down some of the every day things in our lives over the next few months and we will all have the chance to view the different books (with their decorated covers) at our AGM in February.

Here are some of the books made on the day:

The Bind It All was in constant use!

A busy morning!
