January meeting

Due to the snowy weather, there were fewer members than usual  at our January meeting. Julie led the session showing members lots of techniques to use on tags.  The Seasons was the theme and the plan is to use these tags in layouts next month.  Members enjoyed doing embossing and using gilding flakes. 

 

 

Here is a selection of Julie's tags showing the embossing technique - this is very effective with a little distress ink applied over the embossing.

 

 

 

This tag was decorated with gilding flakes first and then overlaid with a piece of acetate stamped using StazOn ink.

 



 

Next month's meeting will take place on Saturday 27 February and will be a whole day meeting with the AGM in the morning followed by lunch and then an opportunity to work on layouts in the afternoon.

Members' layouts

Although members really enjoyed making the wall hangings in November most of these were given away as Christmas presents! However here are a few that Ann L made.

Members' layouts

Everyone seems to have been very busy last month so here are more monochrome layouts.

November meeting

There was a good turn out for the last session of Shetland Scrapbookers of 2015 as there is no meeting in December.  Jennie showed members how to make this lovely wall hanging. Everyone enjoyed making these and most people got them finished during the session!

Scrapbooking at Nesting

October saw members of the group gathering at Nesting Hall for our yearly weekend meet up. We had a great time on Friday evening setting up and sorting our layouts and there was a lot of "oh I'll need to bring that tomorrow".  However, between at the Friday evening and whole day scrapping on Saturday we all got a number of layouts completed and had a lot of fun chatting and sharing ideas and techniques. And some lovely home bakes as well !

Plenty of room to spread out and all the Group's equipment available to use.
