A crop full of challenges

This month we spent the day completing challenges. One of the challenges was to make a Christmas card for the Beat the Christmas Rush challenge on http://kkfantasticplace.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/beat-christmas-rush.html. Here are our cards - Janice - Rosie - Liz - Helen - Dawn -

20 April Crop Challenge

Hands up if you want to take part in a crop challenge this month!

Helen has very kindly set us a challenge ...

Scrap a picture of your pet or some kind of animal. (zoo trip maybe?)
Use a punch or die cut shape
Use spring or pastel colours and incorporate a fold.

Everyone who takes part will get a raffle ticket and I'll bring along a small raffle prize :)

Details of class crop

Information from Sarah ...


Class participants will need to bring:
At least 1 photo - ideally 6" x 4" landscape - an outdoors/garden/woodland/park/beach themed picture is ideal but if you could bring a few to choose from once you have seen the kits that would be great.
Basic tool kit: Trimmer, adhesives, scissors, pencil, ruler and pokey tool (if you have one!)
A blending tool and a distress ink if possible (I will be using Brushed Corduroy ink but any brown/beige/neutral ink will be fine
Foam dots (Pop dots) if possible - if not I will have some available.
A hole punch (a normal office punch will do)
Due to keeping the kit cost down, I have not been able to include alphas for the page title so if you could bring some along to finish off your page.
We will be using a small "arrow" stamp so if any of you have a similar stamp (eg: chevrons or triangles) you could bring along that would be great but if not we can all use mine.

Due to the large numbers, I will take 2 separate sessions. 20 in one go is far too many to handle and would be unfair to the participants.
So maybe we could do one class at 10.30 and then again at 12 or 1pm (after lunch) but we'll confirm this Saturday.

I've attached a photo showing a peak of the page made with KIT 1 and I'm finishing off a more "boyish" one today using KIT 2.

Please could I also ask you to remind everyone that I can only take cash or cheques (with name & address on the back) for payment.
