Once again, thank you to everyone, but especially Marlene Johnson for helping me during the weekend and before hand by helping me pack kits – and thanks to Leanne Weaver, for helping over the weekend.  Without you both, it would have been a lot of extra work. 

Love to you all – Cal xxxxxxxxx

The weekend begins NOW !

… well it does for me ! 

Its our 2 Day SUMMER Retreat/Crop weekend, and I can’t wait for everyone to start arriving !  It is guaranteed to be a weekend of fun, laughter and creativity.  What more could you ask for ? I am so looking forward to seeing old and new friends, and being able to share what I love with other like-minded crafters. I’ll be sure to post photographs after the weekend, so keep your eyes peeled ..

Anyway, I will leave you with my TWO takes on ONE sketch.  The first one is made using MDS and the second layout is the basis of a layout using lots of NEW products that are launching in the NEW Autumn/Winter catalogue.  The layout isn’t finished – it needs embellishing more … so what would you add to it ??  Let me know. Send me your layouts using the sketch below, and YOU could be in with a chance of winning some blog candy !

Oh, and if you haven’t had your NEW ‘Seasonal’ Catalogue (autumn/winter), and you would like one, then please email me at carole.bryson@gmail.com and I’ll pop one in the post to you …

Scrapbook Challenge

Good Afternoon Everyone ! 
Sssssh the sun is shining Sadly, I’ve got all my windows closed because the next door neighbour is having some external work done to their house, and the dust is everywhere ! Oh, and window cleaner is here, and Jack Jnr is going bollistic !
Anyway, I am going to start a random Scrapbook Challenge for you – I can’t say that it will be regular, but keep popping back to find some inspiration, and you will be able to catch up with the challenges.  I can’t commit to definite days because I never know what I’m doing from one week to the next – however, that will make visiting my blog, all the more exciting !
So, here is the first challenge for you.  Please complete a scrapbooking layout using the following sketch.  Then, link your project up to this blog, or email me your entry at carole.bryson@gmail.com There will be a cool prize for the winner !
First Sketch

As always, if I can be of service in any way, or if you wish to place an order, book a place on a class or retreat, or even book a party, please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com
Have a great day – Cal xxx

First Offer

From 1st August up until 31st if you purchase 3 sets of designer papers, then you get 1 set free – so 4 sets of papers !  Seriously, what a bargain !  I will certainly be stocking up this month !

The second offer is my offer - spend over £45 this month, and you will receive a MAJOR prize … and I mean MAJOR !  You have to be in it, to win it as they say … as most of you know, I don’t do anything by half !

Opportunities :

I have 3 places left for day delegates to the 2 Day retreat/crop on Sunday the 25th August - £30 for the day and this includes ALL of your meals, on-the-spot-prizes, refreshments and calorie loaded snacks - plus a FREE draw ticket for the “Draw of all Draws” .  If you would prefer to come for the 2 days, then please contact me, and I’ll see what I can organise - See previous post dated 30th July for some of the classes that will be available to purchase on the day.

To finish off … as promised, another MDS project – this is a layout of one of my lovely customers, Theresa Coker and her gorgeous husband.  I hope Theresa won’t mind me saying, but she has been ‘in the wars’ recently, and this photograph was taken on a family day out sailing, to cheer her up, despite the fact that she was on crutches !  I just loved the photograph so much, as it really shows the great love between her and her husband, yet masks the incredible pain that she was in ..
