Mar 5 & 6 Wildflower Makerie - (Ahem) Wildflower Crop

Deb and I have this discussion every time she creates a weekend Crop. I always refer to it as a "Makerie". Friends gather together to share their passion for all things handmade. For me it's paper crafting & origami but if you're a jewellery artisan, a knitter, a card maker or a scrapbooker this is the place for you on March 5th & 6th at the Arts building in Gibsons.
Don't use Facebook?  Here's her email: Deb Jackson

Family Matters Scrapbooking is hosting another awesome cropping weekend, March 5th and 6th at the Arts Building in Gibsons. The fun starts on Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. and we’ll work until midnight, then back at it Sunday morning at 9:00 until 4:00. Crop with us for the two days for $150.00 or if you can only make it for one day $85.00. The price includes meals as well as a great, creative work space. For those of you who may not be familiar with a Scrapbooking Crop this is where we get together with friends and other crafty people and work on our projects in a creative, fun filled environment. Bring anything your working on, it doesn’t have to be Scrapbooking. There will be door prizes and other surprises!
Saturday as well as the crop we will be offering an All Occasion Card Class featuring Stampin Up’s Flower Patch stamp set and co-ordinating dies. Class will start at 10:00 and you will be making 12 cards. The class is great for beginners as well as our more experienced stampers. You will be learning lots of hints on double stamping as well as how to perfectly line up your stamped images with your 
coordinating dies.
Sunday we will offer a Mini Album Class using the same stamp set as well as Stampin Up’s Bohemian designer paper. This class also is a perfect start for a beginner as well as the more experienced paper crafter.

So my favourite projects for our Friday favourites:

 A simple paper airplane. Love Lia Griffith and her clever design team.

Hello Galentines!

Did you know Friday is Galentine's Day?

I was experimenting with little boxes and rose origami truffle holders a few weeks back and asked if my girlfriend would like if I sent her some for her West Coast Express commuter friends.

She makes the most lovely chocolate truffles.

Can't wait to see some pics from the West Coast Express. The little truffle box is a design by Robyn Glynn. The origami truffle rose. Sweet ..
