It's just 2 more sleeps

until crop day, where did that month go?

Due to circumstances beyond our control we are only going to be able to share one LO using this month's sketch.

It's a super LO designed by Lorraine.

We're doing are very best to have some additional LO's using this month's sketch to share with you on Saturday.

One 6" x 4" portrait photo

that's what this month's sketch uses, just one 6" x 4"portrait photo although as always it could easily be adapted if you want to use a landscape photo or more than one photo.

So without any further ado here is this month's sketch.

So, has anyone done the maths, you know the how many sleeps it is 'til crop day? Oh by our reckoning it just 12 more sleeps before our day of pretty papers, glue and so much more!

Anyone excited?

Because sometimes they seem

to disappear into cyberspace never to be seen again, here's a copy of the email that should have arrived in your inbox in the last couple of days.


Dear Create & Co Crop Member

We are contacting you to inform you of a small price increase that is due to take affect from the next crop, 26th May. Due to multiple overhead increases we are now needing to make this small increase to ensure that we can continue to cover costs in all areas of the crop costs. We feel that even with this small increase we still represent fantastic value for money, which we are sure you will agree.

You will continue to receive the following;

Over 10 hours of scrapping time.
Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and squash.
Inspiration via samples, print outs and designers.
A kit worth in excess of £5.

From 26th May 2012 the total cost of a Create & Co cropping experience will be just  £10.00, brilliant value when put into real terms of how much per hour your ample cropping space costs - just 50p per hour.

Kindest regards

Create & Co

A little something

to excite you! Here's a couple of LOs using this month's sketch.

Janice has kepts to the core of the sketch but has tweaked it ever so slightly. 

The jar is from the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Twinkling Lights paper and looks so effect given a dimensional look with foam pads.

Eileen's LO is 'hard core' true to the sketch.

The cream looped twine looks really effective as a border.

Our other news ....... it's just 6 sleeps til crop day, now that's got to be exciting news.

Some people are counting

the days until the next crop already!

For now we're not going to be doing any counting but what we are going to be doing is revealing this months sketch challenge.
