January 2014 : Pink Framed Layout

The theme for our January meeting was a framed layout and Julie designed this wonderful layout with a large number of different techniques! - stamping with Gesso, working with beads,, buttons and wire and making a paper clay cameo.

This was our last meeting of the current year.  We kick off next year with our AGM on Saturday 22 February 2014 at 10am.  Please bring layouts to work on - a good opportunity to complete some of those unfinished ones. 

The new programme will commence with our March meeting - a challenge layout.

November Meeting : Embellishments and Collage

The theme for the November meeting was Embellishments and Collage.  

Jennie showed us how to make an embellishment for a scrapbook page from the Sissix Envelope Die and also designed a layout for it which incorporated some small areas of collage.

Julie gave a demonstration of how to use gilding flakes to make small embellishments for a layout - flowers, flourishes, leaves, etc. - using different types of glues, including tape, and also stamps. 

Members brought along their layouts from the October meeting (see previous post) and we also circulated a list for ideas for next year's programme.  

There will be no meeting in December but we look forward to seeing everyone at the January meeting.

Members October Small Photograph Layouts

Fantastic pages made by our members from the October meeting.

 (Unfortunately it was a very dark day when I took the photographs at the November meeting, so the photographs are a little dark).

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!
