Derby Dabblers 3rd June Get Together

Date and Times
Friday 3rd June 6.30 - 9.30 we shall be meeting up again for our June Derby Dabblers get together. The cost of the evening will be £3.00 per person (teenagers £2.00).

Theme for the night
The theme for this month is nautical. As usual, you dont have to follow the theme, you can bring along your own project to startor finish. Dont forget, if you just want an evening without crafting, that is fine too as there are so many people to sit and chat with that I am sure you will still have an interesting night.

Show and Tell
Please bring along any cards or scrapbook pages or anything else that you may have done recently as everyone loves to look at what has been created but, be warned, you may need to tell everyone how you made it.

For Sale or For Swap
If you have any crafting items that you wish to sell or swap for something else, you are most welcome to bring them along to see if anyone on the night may way to purchase/swap with you.

Cakerers
Debbie Fletcher offered to be the cakerer for the evening, is there anyone else who would like to help out on this night as well? If Debbie cant make it, please let me know so that I can see if there is another person who can take your place.

Demonstration
Brenda will be giving us a demonstration on how to get a crackle effect and use up those old Dulux tester pots everyone has hanging about!

What is needed:

• 2 tester pots of emulsion paint, contrasting colours (i.e. dark brown & cream)
• cheap PVA craft glue
• paintbrushes
• heavy card, chipboard, or a craft item to be decorated
• If anyone has a heat gun, can you bring it along please
  

Badges, drinks and mugs
We are having quite a few new people join us again so it would help if we can all try to remember to wear a badge with our name on and dont forget, if you want to bring your own mug for your drinks you can, I know that there is a limited supply in the cupboard.
If the guardians of the teenages can let me know what the youngsters would like to drink, I can make sure that we have something available, very remiss of me not to think of this before, sorry.

It would really be appreciated if you can let me know if you will be coming along to this get together so that we know how many we are catering for. Anyone who can get there just prior to 6.30 to help set up the tables will be a great help

Just thought you might like to share a virtual flower, and see what the wonders of a drop of rain have done to my garden.

Don't flowers just spell HAPPY!

Enjoy today.

We all had a lovely day on Sunday stamping and colouring in at the Spondon Village Hall. Anne and James kept us well supplied in tea, coffee, cakes and coissants throughout the day. Cant wait until the next Stamping Sunday.

Details will be posted on this blog for future Stamping Sundays

I bring you great news!!!

Hi Ladies

When I first started going to Dabblers every so often we had a 'Stamping Sunday' which was held at Chellaston and organised by Tracey. But alas the room became no longer available and then we could not find an alternative venue and sadly the stamping on a Sunday was no more. It was great fun and I learn't loads & loads & loads from crafters like Pauline Tracey Sandra Jackie Jayne Karen just to name but a few - if I have missed your name out I'm very sorry.

We all used to gather at a community centre bring out own packed lunch and we crafted ALL day - yes ALL day - sheer bliss. Some could only came for the morning some for the afternoon and some lucky peeps came ALL day.

Well we have an opportunity to do this again on May 29th. Anne has found a new venue for 'STAMPING SUNDAY'
Cost:will be: £5 all day what a bargain!!!
The £5 will include tea & coffee for the day and a light breakfast of croissants first thing

Bring you own packed lunch and all the crafty items you will need for the day.
The theme will be 'Any thing goes'
If you would like to come - I will need to know definite numbers as we will need a minimum of 8 to make if viable.

So if you'd like to book a place please e-mail me asap L.roulstone@btopenworld.com

best wishes

Last month (or was it the month before), I sent a sheet of paper around the tables to see if someone would like to demonstrate at one of our get togethers. Well can I find this list? I have searched high and low to no avail so for this month, I will show you how
to make a little pocket card (I don't know it's proper name). If you would like to have a go at this, here are the items that you will need

• 1 sheet of A4 card to make the outside wallet and the inside pullout
• I sheet of contrasting A4 card to do some matting and layering
• 1 sheet of white A4 card to stamp on, for the outside of the wallet and the inside pullout
• Stamps for the images/sentiments to decorate both the outside and inside.
• A long length of ribbon
• Scissors
• Adhesive, colouring mediums, ink for stamping
• Something to score the card
• I shall take along the stamp sets I have used to make the card in the attachment, which I shall be very happy to let you borrow.

If you would like to do a quick demo next month, or any other time this year, please let me know on the night.

CAKERERS
