November meeting - 13th

Hi everyone,

Apologies for being last minute, I don't seem to find the time to get online as much as I used to and certainly haven't been crafting.  I have to admit to buying Husband's birthday cards for the first time in years!

Next week we will be making a lovely little tag book which would make a nice present or keepsake, as you could put little notes or photo's in it - how you decorate it is up to you.

Here's one I made, I went a bit OTT with embellishments and it's a bit thick really, it doesn't fold very flat, the second picture is a the basic book.





You will need one piece of double sided 12x12 paper for the book itself, and co-ordinating pieces of card/paper for the pockets and tags. I've used sentiment stamps on my tags or any small images will work.  A hole punch, a small circle punch (1") and a border and corner punch - I have these if you don't,  a piece of ribbon and a few embellishments, gems/pearls, brads, flat flowers.  You will also need scoring board and some strong quick drying glue or narrow double sided tape.

It's Tina's birthday this month so don't forget your cards, can I please also ask that any outstanding subs (£20) are paid please.

December is fast approaching, we can go for the usual meal at the Hesketh.  I will pick up a menu, it's £14.95 each, of which club can pay the £5 deposit if you are happy to pay the rest.  Or if you have an alternative suggestion put it forward next week.

Before I go and try to remember how to make the book here's a recent pic of Izzy.  She's still a role model baby, sleeping through and as happy as she looks all the time.


See you all next week

Sarah
