First crop class page

Okay, here is the first Scrapaholix club kit page we will be doing

The technique is learning how to use sketches to get started (a personal favourite for me, I love them!!), and this sketch is by Anam (Khihaku on the www). She has written an iPhone sketch app, and is giving away a few free copies as prizes for members who upload their sketch-based LO's on to the site).

Must say, am impressed with the kits, all nice quality, double sided papers; I only added a tiny piece of ribbon to make this LO and have loads of stash left over to make at least another page!

Simply gorgeous layout Tina - it is really lovely. Yes, their kits do usually come "complete" except for one small item and as you say, good quality papers too!

loving this one Tina, gorgeous colours. Wish I was close enough to come!

wish i was too .
its lovely and the papers match the picture perfectly

Lovely, great colours and the flowers and tag are really pretty.

Beautiful Tina, hope all goes well

The colours match the photo perfectly. This is very very nice, although
still very different for you. Nice to see you 'branching out'

Unbelievably lucky to get papers that match the pic that well. It's super, Tina.

Great one to start with.

well, it was more a case of 'there was likely to be a photo to match the papers', I have a few thousand to choose from .

I was thinking how well you'd chosen the pic to match, knowing that's how you'd have to work it, that'll be the bit that takes the time. A perfect match though and a lovely way to get pics scrapped that might not be otherwise.
You are doing a much better job than the lady whose class I went to.
How much are the kits now? Mind you the postage is the bother isn't it.

about £8 odd a month if you sub direct, I think. Not sure if that includes p&p.

This is lovely Tina , hope the class goes well.

hmmm, i'll have to dig to see if i have any photos that will go with kit. i hope so.

Don't panic; anything with neutral colours will go fine, and the papers are double sided if you want to change the colour scheme slightly to work better with your photo.

oh wow this is just fab gorgeous photo and colours, really need to get myself into gear and start scrapping my lovely ladies before more come along !!

Oh how cute is that avatar Mrs S

That's pretty good then Tina, might have a look at that, not that I need it with the kit I already get and don't use up.

Lovely layout colours are so well matched.

i've completed my page but changed the photo.

Tina wanted us to "draw" the flowers. yeah right. not happening for me so she let me use her stamp. thank goodness.

The other photo looked great, but this one works just as well! You going to make another page with the first photo?

at some point, when i can get past our problems. can't think of anything nice to say about her at the mo.

Here is my page



My choice was DD graduation cos it just so happens the colour of her silk matches the papers, page 2 is in the making.

Lovely LO (but then I am a bit biased!!).

They're lovely,
Jane you're a chicken, try drawing a flower with the leftovers and see how it works out.

I tried holding the darned pen in her hand, but she wouldn't do it

Lovely LOs Jane and Alison. Love the flowers on both.

wow these are gorgeous, well done to all of you. I love the flowers, would never have thought of that. Am going to have to have a go

Gorgeous LO's and love the colours on them.

They're very simple; you doodle with a black gel pen, and go over it two or three times, making sure it's not too neat and that the lines overlap. Works really well on patterned paper, but equally nice on plain cardstock. A technique taught to me originally by my friend Chrissie.

Here is page two, tried a couple of things that now look like I'm running before I can walk, but I'm mostly pleased with how this has turned out.
