*COPY OF EMAIL SENT TODAY*
Dear Create & Co Cropees,
September is literally around the corner now and that means just one thing, September Crop details will be starting to appear on the Blog and we need to know if you are coming along (or not too please).
September Crop Kit will include the technique of Dry Embossing and will be
designed and taught by Janice. Don't forget to check out the Blog regularly for peeks and'to bring' tips.
ScrapaGoGo will not be bringing the shop along this month so instead we thought we would have a 'second hand table' where you can bring along any of your unwanted craft items for sale. Please make sure the items have your name and price on them to make things easier for all.
Don't forget that we will cropping at a different location in September due to a double booking by the Pavillion;
The Church Room
Ship Lane
Bramford
Ipswich
Suffolk
IP8 4AL
Remember to follow all our news at:

A HUGE thank you...
to everyone who came along yesterday and helped create a fabulous and fun day. We would also like to take a moment to say a big thank you to those of you that couldn't make it for various reasons but kindly sent along donations, popped in to buy a cake and ice cream as well as those that donated funds to purchase supplies etc.
A full break down of the day and money raised will be emailed later today or tomorrow as soon as we have those last few pennies counted and checked. We also have loads of fun photos that are being prepared ready to share too:D
We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a question and confusion that has come to light recently, as we have so many new members we thought it a good idea to remind everyone of the minimum age of members and why this is set at this age.
As is the case for all orgnised events and groups we have to have suitable insurance, within the regulations of our package we are not allowed to have any children under 12 attend crop as a paying member or visitor (or any of our events). Our public liability insurance does not cover us for children within a teaching setting which the crop falls under.
We did enquire a while back about making the age lower (at 8 years) but this would have doubled the premiums and we felt that passing this cost onto members and customers would be unfair.
We always try our very best to organise and run friendly and inspiring crops and events, even more so for days like yesterday where everyone chips in to create a day with an even bigger purpose and picture. Above all we simply want people to enjoy themselves in the company of like minded people and do our best to achieve that.
If you have any questions about the information above please do email us and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.
Many thanks,
Create & Co

For a little late snack
how about another Sketch LO.
Nicola's LO 'Sports Day Star' follows the sketch pretty closely but with different patterned papers/embellishments and photos it takes on a completely different feel.

It just goes to show how versatile sketches are.

Scoop Of Hope - August 27th
Dear Create & Co Member,
As a valued crop member we would like to invite you to join our special Create & Co Crop on August 27th 2011 and help us in raising funds for Give Kids The World (GKTW). We will be having lots of fun with raffle's, challenges and much more besides and we hope that taking a break for ice cream for breakfast will remind us all of the simple joys of childhood and the deserving children that Give Kids The World Village welcomes every day.
GKTW will be celebrating their annual Ice Cream For Breakfast campaign throughout the summer. The response to their fundraising campaign in 2010 was overwhelming, with events taking place nationwide raising more than $60,000.
The village has a very special place in our hearts as Harry was granted a wish to visit in April 2010, he will be coming along to join us for ice cream for breakfast and to share his photos and stories with you all.
The crop will begin at the usual time with 'breakfast' being served at 11:30. Please bring along extra pennies for donations in exchange for delicious treats, cool challenges and super crafting raffles too!
Please note: Crop fee will remain the normal £7.50 per person, however if you wish to 'round up' Create & Co will send the entire £10 to GKTW along with any other monies raised on the day.
Please can you let us know if you are able to come along to this fun and special day by replying to this email.
