Tomorrows classes....

My layout for Saturday "Merry & Bright" hope you like it.
I used starlight black ink. See you all soon Julia x

You will need some crystal stickles and a small snowflake punch might be handy to save queues!

End of an era....

We are very sorry that this news will come as a bit of a surprise.

Since the four of us started Scrapbus 6 years ago we have all seen our personal and professional lives significantly change to a point where running the monthly crop is no longer sustainable. We have therefore made the very difficult decision to bring the Scrapbus crops to a close.

Our last crop will be on Saturday 6th December 2014.

We will be having a half price sale on all kits (except November and December kits) and have lots of goodies for sale at rock bottom prices. Everyone who attends will get a fabulous prize to take away and of course there will be cake!

We want to thank everyone of you for your loyal support of Scrapbus. We hope we can see you in December to say a proper goodbye.

Amber's Class for Saturday

Here is my class layout for Saturday.  You will need your usual scrapping tools, a paper distressed, glossy accents and a 6x4 portrait photo.  

This kit will be priced at £8.50 because of the products included in the kit.  In addition to the layout I have created a mini book to enable you to get the most out of the kit.

See you all on Saturday

Bonus layout - use your scraps

This will use your leftover patterned paper and stickers. If you want to do this layout on Saturday you will need a piece of white cardstock, a 2" circle punch and any matching embellishments e.g buttons, washi tape...time to bust your stash!

Inspired by a layout by Tuesdae Hubbard.

Don't worry if you don't have them as I will bring some!

Sue's class for 6th September 'The things I am loving...'

For my class you will need:

Black ink pad ( I used Tim Holtz Distress ink in Black Soot)
Photo (my photo is 7.5" x 5" but you could use other sizes)
Wet glue (Cosmic Shimmer clear PVA is fab)

Julia's class for Saturday

You will need two 4x6 portrait pics which can be trimmed slightly and starlight black ink.

Fionas class for 2nd August

Here is my class for Saturday's crop. You will need a 6x4 landscape photo, black, peachy pink and turquoise inks, 3D gloss, foam pads and the usual scrapping tools. Layout matches my previous class and includes serious tearing, painting- so bring a small wide paintbrush, and an embossing tool!!!

Amber's Finished Layout

Here's my finished layout, with the addition of a few more changes than I had anticipated!  

Sue's class updated....

My class for Saturday. I used an 8 x 5 photo but it will work with a smaller one. I mounted my photo on cream card (not provided in kit) as I wanted a light border so please do that at home or bring card with you if you want to. The title is still to go on but wanted to share. You will need black ink pad and 3d foam.

Amber's Class

My class for Saturday, so far.  Still have a little work to do on it but have to wait for the boys to go to bed first!  You will need:

A 7x5 landscape photo

Usual scrap tools, including a paper distressing tool, craft knife and mat

A paint brush (smallish one but not tiny)

Repositionable glue would come in handy for this layout

Black ink

We will have the following available on the tool table but if you do have any of them please bring them along to save you waiting around:

Wild honey and peacock feathers distress stains

Wild honey distress ink pad and tim holtz blending tool

See you all on Saturday

Amber

Papers for Sues class on Saturday

Elaines class for Saturday

Here is Elaine's class for Saturdays crop.

This kit will cost £5.

If you have not already booked and wish to attend please drop a line to mail@scrapbus.co.uk.

Vanessa's class for Saturday

Vanessa will be teaching this lovely class at our 12 hour crop.

There are 6 double-sided papers and 1 cardstock plus embellishments in the kit so this one is slightly more expensive than normal (£7.50). You will have lots left over for a second layout.

Vanessa used these inks:  light brown, mid-brown, light green, white and yellow
Bring these if you have them but there will be some at the crop if you haven't got these colours. A mid-brown of your own would be really useful as everything is inked in this so it might take a long time if we all share.

Vanessa used a 7”x5” photo but the space is fairly flexible so could be adapted to fit a smaller photo.

Julia's class for 3rd May

Hi ladies,
After seeing Fiona Griffiths fabulous layout I thought you might appreciate something a little more straight forward on Saturday lol.
So here's my layout for Saturday 3rd May, you will need a 5x7 portrait photo and some copper ink.
Thanks

Fiona

Bookings as usual to mail@scrapbus.co.uk

Sue's class for April

You will need:
Black ink
Matt or glossy accents
7 x 5 photograph

Amber's class for April

Here is my layout, minus photos (have to get some printed). Thought you'd appreciate seeing the layout and colour scheme regardless. It's a very brown layout so lends itself well to sepia/heritage photos but anything goes as you all know.

You will need your usual scrapping tools, brown ink (preferably Tim Holtz walnut brown and blending tool but any brown ink will work). Distressing tool and a brown doodling pen. There will be a Tim Holtz gathered twigs distress stain on the tool table but if you have one please bring it if you don't want to wait to use ours. 

My layout will eventually have 2 photos on it; one 4x6 portrait and the other will be cut down to fit the little Polaroid frame.

Hope the photo helps, see you on Saturday.

Julia's finished class

Julia's class for 1st March

I Love You

                                    Fiona's class for Saturday 1st March 2014
No paper foof this time ladies just a bit of inking! For this class you will need to go with these gorgeous 
 Echo Park papers: a not too dark blue inkpad and a not too orangey inkpad. I used a chalk type to give a softer finish. You will also need a blue fineline pen and some 3D gloss, and a cropodile or something that will make teeny holes, plus usual tool of mass construction. The photo is  landscape 6x4 trimmed down to 5 1/2" x 3 3/4" but I think you coud use a portrait photo with a bit of jiggling!
See you all Saturday, don't forget your daffs!
love Fi xxxx
