Busy Pickles!

Thought I'd share what we've been up to over the last couple of weeks & also what's to come!

Earlier this month Barbara taught the masking technique with stamping & the girls created these cuties :)

 The stamps they used were Hero Arts Flower Wood Background, 7 Gypsies Lille & Teresa Collins Noel

Jennie & I visited a local WI and 21 ladies all made their own Christmas Decs!

We have a few mini kits available here!

Marion shared another Fabulous Vintage style Mini Album, so elegant :)

This morning Barbara taught a fabulous concertina folded mini book, lovely!

and this afternoon, Jane, myself, Carol, Meryl & Sandra "finally" finished our Circle Journals Yay!

Coming up we have all sorts of Workshops.

There's Scrapbook Design with Jane on Tuesday morning,

an Amazing Countdown to Christmas piano hinge book next Saturday also with Jane,

Next Monday 28th make a cute Belly Band Petal card with Barbara

and on Tuesday 28th a Brilliantly organised Christmas File Book with Julie

In December we are hosting more workshops and oodles of crops, come along & make those last minute cards, Tims Tags & for anyone participating in Shimelles Journal workshop, we'll provide the tranquility for you to get on with no distractions. Help yourself to our stamps & dies whilst munching on mince pies & slurping a coffee or two!

See you soon!

Chicken Soup #40

Hi again Soupers!

Here's my interpretation of the gorgeous picture posted on this weeks Chicken Soup Blog :)

I used the colours this week, my favourite - Blue!

To be honest, I started this layout a month ago at the Midnight Crop (before I saw the Soup Recipe) because I fancied playing with the gorgeous Teresa Collins papers, so all I needed to add today was the photo & journalling. I tried to photograph it at work only to discover my SD card was at home, grrr! So I'm late posting again & may not make the Soup blog, but here it is anyway!

btw. the Longfellow Quote sticker is available in the shop & will be available online soon :)

Have a Sunny Weekend :)

And More!

More Loveliness in store this morning :)
