Happy Sunday to you!

Hope your day will be

a relaxing one to re-charge

the batteries for the

week ahead

Helen Chilton is a busy

 lady this month.  On

 Thursday, 14th September 

she is taking the Card Class

which looks like a great

opportunity to get together

a stash of greeting cards

using Oxides and a

selection of stamps

including some of the new

Scrapcosy stamps by PaperArtsy.  

Take a look:

Thought I'd also give you an

update on Inky Fingers which

of course you all know is

also run by Helen

On Wednesday 20th September

she is going to have us 

start our Christmas

crafting by stamping and

stitching on fabric to make

a tag or two.......

The picture shows the tags

as a festive banner but you

don't have to do festive, nor 

do you need to do a banner!

On 23rd September we have

the next Kit and Kaboodle

workshop.  Keep an eye on

the website to see what

fun will be in store for us....

Follow this link to come 

and join in the fun

Classes are held in Lingfield, Surrey

and there will also be a pop up shop

for those essential supplies...........

You don't need to bring anything 

with you other than perhaps an apron

and your lunch.  Everything needed

for the class is provided for you

Hope to see some of you there!

Hi there!

Beautiful sunshiney day today

if a little on the windy side.

Hope you've got good weather

too

I've just dropped by to tell

you about some classes that

are coming up

The first is with Jane Colman 

on 28th March and she is

going to be using one of the

new envelope cushion covers

and Starlight Fabric Paints

lots of rich, yummy colours here

Do check them out

The next class I want to

mention is with Kay Carley

on 22 April.  Kay will guide you

through this beautiful canvas

using her new stamps and

PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paints

Kit and Kaboodle with Helen Chilton

on 23rd April will have us making a 

Decorative Gardeners Seedbox

As the club name implies, you will

be supplied with the kit and of

course paints, stamps stencils will

be provided for your use on the day

We will be using the new Scrapcosy 

stamps and stencils

This project would also lend itself to 

recipe storage, cataloguing your stash

or anything else come to that!

The classes will be held at the 

Lingfield and Dormansland Community Centre

and Sandy will be there with her Pop-uP Shop

One final word on the Craft Barn Classes - 

if you've ever thought about coming along but

been put off by the thought of all that

stash you have to bring.  Well, don't worry,

the Craft Barn Classes are the only ones I

have ever done (and I've done a few over

the years) where you do not need to bring

anything more than yourself, your pinny (apron)

and your lunch.  Oh, and maybe something

to carry your project home in............

'Til tomorrow

Hallo Everyone!

Thought you might be interested to

see the results of a fantastic class

we had recently with Jane Colman

who put us through our paces

decorating bottles with Starlight

Paints and Imagination Crafts

Rice Papers - some may call these

papers Mulberry papers

Of course, everything we used, including the bottles

but excluding the lights is available from

The Craft Barn.  However, by the time you read

this, Sandy may well have sourced the lights too!

Now for some news of a Kit & Kaboodle class

that Helen Chilton has for us at the end of

this month.  It is a Moroccan style lamp and

we shall be stamping and colouring on acetate

and using the new Rusty Patina from

Imagination Crafts.  Here's the link to the class:

http://www.thecraftbarn.co.uk/25-march-saturday-all-day-mor…

and here's a photo of the project

Summer is coming and wouldn't this grace your patio?

It will mine!

Chris Dark also has a super class and

here is a snippet picture of one of the 

projects from her April Mix it Up class. 

Chris is going to be getting you to create postcards

 and mailers using the fabulous new

 Stampendous Laurel Burch stamps.

I have linked everything where possible

as I write to make it easier for you to

find out more.

If you have any queries on these classes, or

anything else of a crafting nature, do email

Hi Everyone!

Greetings from the cold, grey

south coast!  It is deserted outside

so I guess everyone is indoors

keeping warm.  Well, it is winter

after all.  

Funny thing about this

season is that when thoughts of

winter come to mind - there are

blue skies, bright, white snow,

colourful hats and scarves and

always a little bird twittering

joyously............................

Leave you with that thought........

Something bright and cheerful to

focus on now.

Went to Helen Chilton's first 

Kit and Kaboodle class yesterday

held in Lingfield by The Craft Barn.

Super class, lovely people and

great fun.  I may show you my 

light box once I can find enough

daylight to photograph it....

However, we also saw what is

coming up next month:

It is a set of boxes that can be banded

together.  Each box holding, as 

suggested in the picture, Tea or

Soapbombs

Would make a lovely gift BUT you

don't need to stop at Tea or Soap

they can hold anything you like

The boxes could also be used 

individually for small gifts

I can see a scarf in one of these

boxes, tied with a pretty ribbon 

and finished with a tag

Who wouldn't be pleased to receive one?

What would you put in one and who

would you give it to?

Sandy tells me it will be possible to decorate

wooden boxes if preferred

I should also tell you that Helen will also be

showing us a new technique using 

Transfer Solution

So, just follow the link and you could be

having a great time at 

Kit and Kaboodle 

on the last Saturday in February

PS: if you want to do a different filling

or use wooden boxes, or both

please ring Sandy to book

Hope those lovely, bright colours have

cheered your day

'Till Tuesday

Crafty Individual's masterclass

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to show you a snippet of Jean Hardy's sample for her Extravaganza masterclass .
I'm not allowed to show you the full project but I have seen it and... can I tease? ... yes I will...
OMG, it is GORGEOUS !! I wish I could be there to attend the class.

There are very few places available, and I do mean just a few, so if you want to have the chance to meet Jean and join her for this amazing class, click here to book.

Class description

A magical Masterclass using Crafty Individual stamps, papers and more together with a special Tando Creative kit to create a lovely wall clock

See you soon, 

Up coming classes

.....

Hi everyone

I can't tell you how many times people have said, " I wish I'd seen that earlier, now I really wish I'd done that class".  Soooo we thought  it would be a nice idea to feature project pictures for upcoming classes on the blog a bit more often - I'm really sorry if that causes the green eyed monster to make an appearance in those of you who live too far away to come to classes LOL!

Anyway, here goes:

Neil Walker's class

Friday 8th June

 

Using the Sizziz Tim Holtz “in the bag” die you’ll create some little ATC sized thank you cards. 

You will be spending the morning making gorgeous shimmery layered backgrounds for the cards using Cosmic Shimmer sprays and distress inks and masks and putting your bags together and then spending the afternoon making the cards using layered stamping and masking techniques.
