two 6 x 4 landscape photos or one 7 x 5 portrait photo
black inkpad
gold inkpad

Glitter glue (Stickles Diamond) and Glossy Accents will be provided in class but if you have them and want to avoid the queue bring them along.

There will be a choice of alphabets and sizes for the title if you don't want the same as mine.

Apologies to anyone that I have confused by putting the wrong date for Saturday's crop. It's Saturday the 24th January not the 28th.

Crop cancellation

Unfortunately we have learnt that Brynglas House will now be closed on Saturday. The alternative offered to us is only available for the morning, there is no parking and it is in the middle of town. As a result we have taken the decision to cancel next weeks crop. We are really sorry for the disappointment this will cause.

We will be back at Brynglas House on 24th January (please send email to book) and in Bassaleg on February 7th.

Until then we all wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

My favourite blog

I definitely have an absolute favourite blog and it has nothing to do with scrapbooking. It is called 'Cake Wrecks'. You can find it at http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ Please take a look - I have been known to sit here with tears literally rolling down my face, unable to breathe for laughing. It is not only the pictures but the blog owner, Jen, has a wicked sense of humour. Hope you enjoy it too! Sue x

November's Crop

To book a place call the scrap phone: 07804 172004 or send us an email to mail@scrapbus.co.uk

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Gloucester....

...a beautiful day, we had lunch on the way and all for under 22 pounds you know,
And on the way back we sat in the back and stroked our scrapbooking paper,
Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went round.

(OK so maybe not the singing bit!)

ROAD TRIP!!!!

I can't quite believe that it's time for our first road trip! It doesn't seem like it was five minutes ago that it was spring and now here we are just about to go for our autumn trip.

We're off to Paperarts in Stroud to do some serious damage to our credit cards!! Credit Crunch or not, nothing gets in the way of stash accumulation. Then we're having a spot of lunch and on to Gloucester Marina and Cathedral for photo opporunitues (well we have to have an excuse for buying the stash).

I'm really looking forward to it and if you haven't yet booked your place....why not? You may still be in with a chance just email your request to mail@scrapbus.co.uk.

See ya Saturday
