<br />
I have been woefully neglectful of this blog and this will probably be the last post (not the bugle call you understand). Eclectic Keepsakes now has a facebook group and we post on there as it is quicker and anyone in the group can post or chat. So if there is anyone who reads the blog and would like to join us please do - we can be found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/583682791726342/">here</a>. Even if you are unable to come along to our crops you will still be made welcome.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you over on Facebook<br />
<br />

We had a fabulous time at the crop yesterday (those who were off doing other things were greatly missed). As one of the ladies AWOL was Denise I am doing the post crop blog, not as many photos as usual but I did remember to take a few.</div>
<br />
We started the morning with some independent scrapping<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r4wDRX0RvWw/UHE4cAIik6I/AAAAAAAAFWg/UOpnYNnue20/s1600/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r4wDRX0RvWw/UHE4cAIik6I/AAAAAAAAFWg/UOpnYNnue20/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
accompanied by Lemon Meringue Cupcakes<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kRZCWt76kp0/UHE4grqO9-I/AAAAAAAAFWo/Fdyzt_SeCuw/s1600/4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kRZCWt76kp0/UHE4grqO9-I/AAAAAAAAFWo/Fdyzt_SeCuw/s400/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
and Strawberry Ombre Cakes - they didn't work as planned and the layers of colour are not as distinct as I would have liked.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hAJ_MANPRBI/UHE4lBSDz9I/AAAAAAAAFWw/G9k5-8ywgeU/s1600/5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hAJ_MANPRBI/UHE4lBSDz9I/AAAAAAAAFWw/G9k5-8ywgeU/s400/5.jpg" width="266" /></a> </div>
<br />
After lunch the fabulously talented Ann taught a two page class.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6fCObkYpnRE/UHE4VVmp3CI/AAAAAAAAFWY/XCf6r6TJhFQ/s1600/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6fCObkYpnRE/UHE4VVmp3CI/AAAAAAAAFWY/XCf6r6TJhFQ/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div>
<br />
I am always in awe at how she can make such fabulous pages from the supplies she has. She is so creative with her cutting and placing of paper that a little goes a long way.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wnYei6qUifM/UHE40N_odbI/AAAAAAAAFXI/KT_X9PNPa5c/s1600/8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wnYei6qUifM/UHE40N_odbI/AAAAAAAAFXI/KT_X9PNPa5c/s400/8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />

<br />
Cherry chose to cross stitch her page - beautiful<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally, variations on the theme,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

A page from Jill<br />
<br />
<u><b>NOTE - </b></u>the crop in November is the second weekend - 10th and there will not be a class but we are having a kit swap instead. Here is my kit as a suggestion for what a kit could comprise.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SaHHqms06lk/UHE793LGkgI/AAAAAAAAFXk/kgECit6FnQY/s1600/10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SaHHqms06lk/UHE793LGkgI/AAAAAAAAFXk/kgECit6FnQY/s400/10.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I have included two pieces of double sided paper, some stickers, a piece of cardstock and a journaling card. I also rummaged around in my stash and found some coordinating pearls, buttons and a doily. The kit total should be about £5.00. Please make sure that the items you put into the kit are of a quality you would like to receive yourself.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to seeing you next month.<br />
<br />
Also don't forget that <a href="http://www.atripdownmemorylane.co.uk/catalog/"><u><b>ATDML </b></u></a>has a retreat at<a href="http://www.stokebynayland.com/"><u><b> Stoke by Nayland Golf Club</b></u></a> from 2nd to 4th November and even if you are not coming to the retreat you will always be welcome to pop along and spend your pennies in the shop which should be open from about 3pm Friday to 4:30pm Sunday. Late night shopping on both Friday and Saturday, the lovely Jill only closes the shop to sleep and is back bright and early the following day and she promises you a cup of tea/coffee too!<br />

It was a lovely minibook with lots of pages - some small- some bigger,some acetate dividers and much to keep us occupied for the afternoon...<br />
Karen had supplied some lovely cakes as always,this month we had ravishing raspberry and magical mango....they went down a treat with a nice cup of tea.<br />

She has used an eclectic mix of papers to make an album with a whopping 21 double sided pages! Kits are limited in number but I am sure that if you aren't lucky enough to get a kit you will be able to still play along using your own stash.<br />

technique layout. She is using Bo Bunny Serinity papers and Prima
canvas butterflies which can be coloured with glimmer mist type sprays
to the colour you want. We used them in one of Mel's classes at the
ATDML retreat and at the time they reminded me of (now this is showing
my age and the younger ones of you may not remember these) the magic
painting books we had as children - the ones where you just needed a wet
paintbrush and the colours magically appeared. The butterflies are
plain buff cololured canvas but once you spritz them patterns appear as
if by magic! There is also a little stamping and flower making so an
amazing class by any standards. <br />
<br />
<div id="yui_3_2_0_18_1337318344672211">
The class requires two 4 x 6
portrait photographs and you will need to bring foam pads, sprays if you
have them but a limited supply will be available and glossy accents
type embossing liquid.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This month, it was my turn to teach and we made a back to back book with photos of our favourite (not favorite as is on the title card) things.<br />
<br />
The book had several interactive features and was an easy project to make and to teach, in fact I was able to get on and make a layout<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Well December seems to have passed by in a blur of tinsal and glitter and I completely omitted to post any photos from the December Mega Crop! I may get a few posted next week but no promises.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Yesterday, was our January crop and rather than have a formal class we had a make and take where the components for a little project were laid out and we just took the bits and a set of instructions when we felt like tackling the project but mainly got on with out own thing all day.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We started off with 1 piece of pattern paper, 1 set of journaling cards, 8 labels, a piece of ribbon and a printed die cut.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We than turned it into this - a little photo wallet that holds 8 photos with lines for journaling on the back. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Mine featured photos of my G-Girl through the ages from her first Christmas at 8 months to this one just gone when she was 18. I was struck by how out of focus the early photos were and lament the fact that with the old film cameras you didn't know how the photo would turn out until you had them developed and by then the moment had passed and it was too late :(</span></div>

It is a countdown to Christmas layout - the idea being to create a page then add a photo or journalling card each day from the 1st to the 25th December. What <b><i>is required </i></b>is the delegates take a photo or make a note of something each day from the 1.12.2011 to add to their page after."<br /><br />What an exciting prospect - The whole of Christmas 2011 on a double page!<br /><br />For Denise's class it would be helpful if you could bring along a blending tool, if you have one and distress inks.<br /><br />Well there you have it - a 10 hour day packed full of crafting, a bring and share lunch, an amazing calendar class and a project taught by Ann Freeman, an awesome double page layout taught by Debbie Jewell and a fabulous card and envelope taught by Denise Holmes - all for just £30.00. We have three remaining places so if you would like to book one then email eclectickeepsakes@btinternet.com.<br /><br />Have a safe journey ladies and I look forward to seeing you on the 3rd.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Karen</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843547639074258515.post-86173230216465362852011-11-21T22:32:00.000-08:002011-11-23T14:34:09.854-08:00Three Remaining Places!If you are free on 3rd December you might like .............................................................<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FFDfsRrk_Qs/Ts1DJMtTk2I/AAAAAAAAEdc/LA_moUQ4q_M/s1600/Christmas%2BCrop%2BFlyer.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FFDfsRrk_Qs/Ts1DJMtTk2I/AAAAAAAAEdc/LA_moUQ4q_M/s400/Christmas%2BCrop%2BFlyer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678268530493199202" border="0" /></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843547639074258515.post-16241396544319536402011-11-08T00:05:00.000-08:002011-11-08T00:07:56.989-08:00Are you up for catching a few scraps?<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gvt-6_ZGRcE/TrjhFXKAtyI/AAAAAAAAEak/PpToXR1lDyk/s1600/P1060278.jpg"><br /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Look at this absolutely gorgeous scrap catcher - the class that, the very talented but oh so modest, Jane taught at the Eclectic Keepsakes crop on Saturday. <br /></span> <a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xd88OZFmpXE/Trhcg8auf-I/AAAAAAAAEZw/K4perIoQog4/s1600/janes_bin%255B1%255D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xd88OZFmpXE/Trhcg8auf-I/AAAAAAAAEZw/K4perIoQog4/s400/janes_bin%255B1%255D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672385451716935650" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:130%;"> <span style="font-family:arial;">By the end of the afternoon almost everyone had one of these little beauties dangling from their scrap space and can you believe it - some had even started using them for paper scraps! They were just so easy to make, especially with the comprehensive instructions that Jane supplied and even <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);" href="http://deecie.blogspot.com/2011/11/me-sewing.html">Denise </a>who claims not to have sewn since leaving school had made a perfect scrap catcher.<br /><br /></span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0iJFNI8d5V0/TrhchHozSsI/AAAAAAAAEZ8/ml742JMcEqg/s1600/janes_bin_2%255B1%255D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0iJFNI8d5V0/TrhchHozSsI/AAAAAAAAEZ8/ml742JMcEqg/s400/janes_bin_2%255B1%255D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672385454728760002" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:130%;"> <span style="font-family:arial;">Now here's the deal, Jane has a few spare kits that are for sale at £7.50 including p&p. All that is needed to finish the scrap catcher is a sewing machine and 250gms of red lentils to fill the bag that holds the catcher onto the table.

The first two pages are Ann's pages and the rest are from our talented croppers.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nWq_Dyi-w9s/Tm0MXA3eq3I/AAAAAAAAD4Q/ztDxVm_pqXQ/s1600/IMAG0063.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nWq_Dyi-w9s/Tm0MXA3eq3I/AAAAAAAAD4Q/ztDxVm_pqXQ/s400/IMAG0063.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651186696929061746" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-67VCcVkLcuA/Tm0MXKAQXmI/AAAAAAAAD4Y/m2THD74h3XU/s1600/IMAG0066.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-67VCcVkLcuA/Tm0MXKAQXmI/AAAAAAAAD4Y/m2THD74h3XU/s400/IMAG0066.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651186699381792354" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9FFn-_13TgI/Tm0STyPPAUI/AAAAAAAAD5w/3BCcNh6ESdw/s1600/8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9FFn-_13TgI/Tm0STyPPAUI/AAAAAAAAD5w/3BCcNh6ESdw/s400/8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651193238532325698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--FLPALwRrGE/Tm0ST7GZI5I/AAAAAAAAD5o/5AAH1kFrN24/s1600/7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--FLPALwRrGE/Tm0ST7GZI5I/AAAAAAAAD5o/5AAH1kFrN24/s400/7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651193240911160210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q8CCvt08xNs/Tm0STlaKB5I/AAAAAAAAD5g/j_nedMF1rtc/s1600/6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q8CCvt08xNs/Tm0STlaKB5I/AAAAAAAAD5g/j_nedMF1rtc/s400/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651193235088476050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YWhNDG9pnaE/Tm0R98sAMnI/AAAAAAAAD5Q/ylWyPd_vSPU/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YWhNDG9pnaE/Tm0R98sAMnI/AAAAAAAAD5Q/ylWyPd_vSPU/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651192863380222578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cSGksFVmOpA/Tm0R9g8m0II/AAAAAAAAD5I/_Q0AUdSejbg/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cSGksFVmOpA/Tm0R9g8m0II/AAAAAAAAD5I/_Q0AUdSejbg/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651192855933669506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IrHHpCqTnJY/Tm0R9fddLjI/AAAAAAAAD5A/ofUAZk89NxM/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IrHHpCqTnJY/Tm0R9fddLjI/AAAAAAAAD5A/ofUAZk89NxM/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651192855534579250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GsvTspwnKFQ/Tm0R9YtyO0I/AAAAAAAAD44/pAQ9fNETCco/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GsvTspwnKFQ/Tm0R9YtyO0I/AAAAAAAAD44/pAQ9fNETCco/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651192853724019522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y16tzGWLv2Y/Tm0R90K5rgI/AAAAAAAAD5Y/K01xse2kpOw/s1600/5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y16tzGWLv2Y/Tm0R90K5rgI/AAAAAAAAD5Y/K01xse2kpOw/s400/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651192861093899778" border="0" /></a><br />What a fantastic day we all had and I am so looking forward to next month's class by Sue - a technique class using lots of stamping, inking, and all sorts of messy stuff !<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 0);font-size:130%;" >Karen M</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com3
