Ribbon Union Jack Peek

A simple yet effective use of ribbon pieces is to create a decorative section to fit within an aperture of a card or tag, and what better than a Union Jack sample for our special crop day...

May Arts Ribbon

May Arts Ribbon are renowned for their great quality & fabulously diverse range of ribbons that are often featured in ScrapaGoGo's kits. So we at Create & Co were pleased as punch when they sent such a lovely selection for us to use as a class. If you fancy a little 'look see' at their lovely ribbons and some fab ideas, why not take a peek at their blog.

Lorraine has made a cute Union Jack ribbon card with the supplies in your kit which will include 7 lengths of ribbon plus an instruction sheet and template to make the job that little bit easier.

Red, White and Blue

So are you all getting excited about next Saturday? We are here at Create & Co and have decided to sport a little red, white and blue attire next week at our special street party crop - join us in wearing something in these regal colours and bag yourself a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize!

Speaking of red, white and blue we just had to share this super cool design by Vicki...



Perfect for documenting some pictures of next weekend and can be purchased HERE for the tiny sum of $2 !!!

A Bit Of A Do!

We just LOVE the ideas that HobbyCraft are sharing at the moment, will this inspire you to get all 'regal' and take part in our pre crop challenge?



So here is what to do:

We thought it would be fun to be a princess or queen for the day so simply create a royal headpiece of either a crown, tiara or something that takes your fancy - where it along on the day to receive a raffle ticket and chance to win a cool prize!

Another fab GoGo Value Kit!

April Crop will soon be here!

This months value kit is so pretty and right on the button for any Wedding Layouts you might want to create, and with a WHOLE pack of Prima Cameo Rosebuds included, at £3.50 such great value for money!!

Janice has been busy creating with this kit and has cut out a lovely frame from the die cut and tied it all up with a pretty bow, adding a flower made with circles of paper for that finishing touch. Janice added her own Alpha Stickers.

Dear Create & Co Croppers

It was lovely to see everyone last week for our March Crop and no soon had we finished we were busy planning the next! April Crop will take place as advertised on Saturday 30th April - normal place and times!

We do however have a few special treats for you all in the way of a Create & Co Street Party, this will involve some traditonal British fun and edible treats too We thought with the trends of Union Jack Flags and all things Royal for the wedding of the year it would be a great opportunity to celebrate all things British at the same time as having some scrapping fun whilst raising a cuppa to our first anniversary as Create & Co!

May Arts has sponsored our April Crop and Eileen will be designing a great class for you all with something just that little bit different. So we can make sure all our party supplies are in hand it would be great if you could reply ASAP to this email to let us know if you are able to make it along or not on the day.

Keep an eye on the Blog too for peeks and more ideas of what to expect on the day!

Create & Co
