Spondon Dabblers 21/10/11

Good morning Ladies

Well what a change in the weather from last weekend.  I think the summer has finally left us. 

Last night was our Derby Dabblers in Allenton and it was a great night.  I caught up with lots of people who I'd not seen for ages.  We also made a 'bag in a box' which was really very easy to make and is just the ticket for putting a present in.   I know I am a bit quick in sending out information for Spondon Dabblers but I thought I'd do it whilst I had a bit of time
It's our Spondon Dabblers get together in just under 2 weeks  and below are all the usual details.

Date and Times:

• Friday October 21st  at 18:30 - 21:30 
• Venue: Spondon Village Hall
• Cost  £3.00 per adult  (which includes tea, coffee & biscuits)

If you need directions, please let me know.

Theme for the night
The theme for this month is Autumn colours. As usual, you don't have to follow the theme,  you can bring along your own project to start or finish. Don't 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.

Demonstration
Yet to be deceided upon - if you have any ideas please e -mail me

Badges, drinks and mugs
There may be one or two new people joining us again so it would help if we can all try to remember to wear a badge with our name on
and don't forget  to bring your own mug for your drinks, but if you forget your mug  there is a limited supply in the cupboard.
If the parent/responsible adults of the teenagers let me know what the youngsters would like to drink, I can make sure that we have something
available.
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.

here are  my efforts of making a bag in a box

Looking forward to hearing from you

DERBY DABBLERS 7th OCTOBER

Dont the first Fridays of the month come round quickly. Its hard to believe that its nearly October.

We are meeting up again on 7th October at St. Martin's Church Hall, Flint St, Derby. The theme for the evening will be halloween so that means bats, witches, brooms and everything else associated with it for both card makers and scrapbookers. As usual, you dont have to follow the theme, just bring your current projects along to finish or maybe start something that you have been holding back on for a while.

There will be a demonstration on how to make a bag in a box. The demonstration will start at 7.15p.m. To make the bag in a box (something I have wanted to have a go at for ages), you will need the following items:

Cardstock for the base 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
A scorer (scorepal or hugie) or a ruler and an embossing tool
Bone Folder (if you dont have one I am sure you can borrow one on the night)
Strong sticky tape - preferably the red one but I dont think that wet glue will be easy to use on this project
patterned paper 5 1/2" x 11"
card that matches patterned paper 11" x 1"
A border punch (I will bring mine if you dont have one)
Bits to decorate your bag
Ribbon to tie it up with
Tab punch if you have one and some card to make tabs, preferably the same as your 11"x1" (I shall bring my punch with me).

The price, as usual, is £3.00 per person and £2.00 for teenages. Dont forget your mugs, badges and anything you have made recently to show everyone.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please get in touch.

Everyone welcome and hopefully, some ladies that I met at the papermax show last Sunday will be joining us.

Speaking of the papermax show, here are a few photos for you





Looking forward to seeing you there

Spondon Roadworks

Ladies, if you are coming to Spondon on Friday I just wanted to make you aware that there are overnight roadworks in the village that start at 7pm and may present a small problem, I have been assured we will be able to get out when we are done, we may have to go the long way round though and getting in won't be a problem. I hope this hasn't put you off! See you then x

Three of a Kind

 

Well Friday at Dabblers was a great night.  I made 3 cards and had a wonderful time using a brayer for the very 1st time.  I never done it before but I’m certainly going to buy myself a brayer & do more & since Friday I keep taking a peek at U tube looking a brayer demo’s – think I must be hooked!!!!

   I was very lucky as Tracey lent me hers for the evening.  Brenda gave us a demo using a brayer and Liz was really positive when I thought what I’d done was rubbish – she showed me that is wasn’t.  So thank you Liz for being so positive.

I haven’t made the brayer card into cards yet but we will do soon and then post them on the blog.  But in the interim here are the cards I made on the night.

Well hope you have all had a great weekend.  I’m off to ice a birthday cake for Cameron’s party today.  This is my 3rd of the week

The theme for this month is red, to suite the weather we are having.   As usual, you dont have to follow the theme, you can bring along your own project to start or 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.

Cakerers
Denise has offered to be the cakerer for the evening but is there someone else who would also bring in something?  Please let me know if you can. Unfortunately I shall be going to the airport to take my daughter to catch her flight so I wont have time to bake.

Demonstration
Brenda has offered to give us a demo this month using the brayer, ink and some shadow stamps.
If you would like to join in please bring with you
Some matt card
Brayer

of these classes , I can bring the details along.
Stampin' Up! card making classes

there is one space available on Tuesday 9th August and 2 spaces on Thursday 11th. Just drop me an email to let me know if you are interested.

available.
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, if we can get into the room
Looking forward to hearing from you
Tracey
