Strictly Come Scrapping!
The South Wales Crop's 12 Hour Christmas Crop is coming up and as my website is in a state of flux at the moment, I am putting all the details up here :D
The crop is full to the brim (40) with about 10 on the waiting list.
So... we shall be having a competition running throughout the day called Strictly Come Scrapping!
There will be four categories to the competition. Distressed, Heritage, Clean & Simple, and Altered.
In the first round everyone taking part will complete a Distressed Christmas Card (the card has to be created with distressed elements e.g. ripping, inking, sanding, painting, heat embossing etc.). Everybody will vote for their favourite Altered Card and by the end of Round 1, twenty-four people will remain.
In the second round, you will be asked to make an 8x8 Heritage layout. This can be any era up to the 1970s. The success of the layout will be judged on how you have captured the era by the papers you've used, and the placing and design of elements to suit the period. Voting will again be conducted by everyone and by the end of round 2, twelve people will remain.
The 12 who make it to the third round will then have to create a 12x12 Clean & Simple Graphic style layout. You will also be asked to use one of the following Christmas colour combinations:
- Red (of any shade, but not pinks) and green
- Red and turquoise
- Green and gold
- Cream and gold
- Red and gold
- Blue and silver
In the last round you will be asked to bring anything you wish to alter, but it has to look Christmassy. For example, you could alter a box, a CD case, a suitcase, or anything else you wish to use.
You can prepare all your bits and pieces for each part of the challenge (a 'kit' as it were, including a sketch of your idea to work from) but you cannot put together any part of your project before the day.
The winner will receive a plethora of lovely goodies, including an album, papers, embellishments, papers, rub-ons, papers, cardstock, and papers!
The second and third place winners will receive prizes too.
Secret Santa
We are asking everyone who's coming to the crop to bring a gift for another scrapbooker. This should consist of scrapping goodies to the value of £5 (not less than £4 please). We will be exchanging presents during the lunch.
Lunch
There will be a buffet lunch during the crop, so you needn't bring your own sandwiches this month :D
Scrapbook Bingo
Oh yes, eyes down for scrapbook bingo...our South Wales Crop favourite! Get ready to shout 'I'm A South Wales Scrapper, Get Me Out of Here' if you get 'house' :D
Classes
There will be three classes throughout the day - one layout by Jools Gauger who is our guest teacher, and one by myself. The third will be a mini-class making a Christmas necklace, by Sian Lamrick (very cute!). These layouts and project will be posted on here as soon as they're ready.
The crop will commence at 9am on Saturday, 16 December, and will finish at 9pm.
Any questions, please yell :D
