Chilly days, dark days, cropping days!!




Dear Create & Co Cropees, 

Well, with a decidedly down turn in the weather, cold mornings, dark evening and misty days, there is now doubt it is November and that means we are now in the build up to our November Crop so we need to know if you are coming so that we can get everything organised - could you please reply to this email as soon as possible to let us know if you can make it or not,  it would be a great help.  

If you no longer wish to receive emails or attend the crop - could you also let us know please as we do have a waiting list.

We are at our usual venue this month, the lovely Pavilion at Martlesham Heath on November 26th.

We have a lovely class for you this month which is being taught by Eileen - further details about this will follow soon.

We hope that ScrapaGoGo will be able to bring the shop along this month - there are LOTS of fabulous new products and ranges in stock and there  may be a special offer or two - details will follow as soon as we can confirm.

Due to space limitations, the 2nd hand sale opportunity will not be available this month, but hopefully will have this feature again in the New Year. 

Remember to follow all our news at:

Looking forward to hearing from you, 


Eileen, Janice, Lorraine & Nicola

We'd like to say a massive Create & Co

THANK YOU to Emma for the fabulous class she taught on Saturday.


It was a very popular class and throughout the day there were some lovely cards being made with Emma on hand to help. Let's hope we can persuade Emma to teach again in the future.

As always we'd also like to thank each and everyone who came along to Create & Co (boy were they a lot of us this month) and makes it such a fabulous day.


The second sales proved popular again this month and there's sure to be more opportunities in the New Year.

Meet

Emma.


We're pleased to announce that Emma Joyner who regularly crops with us in the late afternoon/evening each month will be joining us for the whole day and will be teaching this month's cop class.

We asked Emma to share a bit about herself and here's what she said

"I have always crafted, I love making things, sewing, knitting, in fact you name a craft and I've probably lent my hand to it - no arty qualifications, all self taught. 

These days I have a well known love of paper crafting especially rubber stamping where one of my favourite techniques is creating unique backgrounds featuring texture, pattern and colour - nothing beats getting nice and messy! Recently I have find myself incorporating these into my scrapbooking.

In Feb 2008, quite soon after the company was introduced to the UK I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I love the quality of the products, especially the coordinating papers, inks and embellishments. 

I also help out in a local craft shop, I don't like to call it teaching, more encouraging and introducing the class to new techniques. It makes me happy sharing my passion of papercrafting with others and I'm looking forward to teaching at Create & Co crop."

--------------------

To complete Emma's class you'll need you basic tool kit and a bone folder if you have one but Emma has said she has a few spare for those who will need them.

See you all tomorrow morning.

Only 7 more sleeps

until crop day, how'd that happen? Guess we'd better get our skates on!

Eileen's been designing with this month's sketch.



Eileen's LO is true to the sketch with the exception of the additional landscape photograph that has been replaced with a journaling block which works well.

Have you decide to play along with this month's sketch? We love seeing & sharing your designs so give us a shout and we'll happily photograph your designs so they can shared on the blog. 

We have exciting news about this month's crop class but are just waiting to finalise the  details.

What no photos!

Oh well, September's crop was still another great days scrapping and Janice's class LO went down a storm.

Now we're into the new month it's time to get the ball rolling for our October crop. We'd like to remind everyone that the crop will be back at Martlesham Heath Pavilion this month and Create & Co doesn't plan on doing any more touring!!!!!!

We're lovin' this month's sketch but you'll need to pop back to see what we've come up with later.


Now don't quote us but we've heard rumours that we might be getting snow! Can you believe it after all the glorious weather we've been having, if it's coming please don't let it be on crop day, however pretty we don't need a repeat of our December crop. 

Remember this..........


and however much fun this was, scrapping is better.
