April 2009 Retreaters…
If you’re coming along on our April 2009 retreat, then just to let you know we will be releasing the class list over the weekend, as well as opening bookings on the website. We will email / post the info to you as well, but just thought we’d give you a heads up! There’s some fab classes to do over the weekend. We’ve spent ages looking for perfect ideas, and products for you, so we hope you’re as pleased with them as we are.
More info coming soon……
If you’re a June retreater, sorry, it’s not your classes….. yet!

Customer LO
‘Jump’ by Sonja Wright (wrightboysmum to UKS’ers)
This gorgeous LO was created by Sonja using our Cream of Mushroom kit for the ‘Mousetrap’ class during the recent UKS Cybercrop. I absolutely love how the kit can work for boys, and darker colours than just the bright greens and oranges which are in most of the papers. Thanks for sharing Sonja!!!

Pancake day!
So I know it’s not technically a craft, but who’s making pancakes, and practising their pancake tossing tonight? I’ve offered to make some for the in-laws, so I’m sure there will be disasters whilst I try to impress them.
Bet there are some weird Derby traditions of what they have on them… I think they said orange juice????? Lemon, yeah, totally, but orange?
Saying that, my friend used to have lemon juice sugar and brown sauce on hers, and I’m sorry to say that that is my favourite now!!
Anyone else got any ‘interesting’ toppings to share?

Got 5 minutes spare? Want the chance to win some goodies?
If you’ve got 5 minutes to spare and don’t mind helping us out, we’re after some friendly crafters to fill in a market research questionnaire for us.
All returned questionnaires will be entered into a prize draw to win either a set of Jillibean Soup Cream of Mushroom papers, or an embellishment pack.
If you fancy helping us out, please email us at customerservice@indigomill.co.uk with ‘research’ in your subject line
JBS White Bean Kit (don’t look Nicola)
Firstly, if you’re Nicola, turn back now and don’t look!!! LOL
Here’s a LO I created with our White Bean Soup kit. When I saw the frogs on the cold water paper I just had to use them to scrap the ‘frog incident’ from Indigo Mill’s October retreat!
Thanks to – Claire for the lilypad shape (my mind completely blanked as to what they look like!) and to Christina for the pun title!! lol
I started it at Dabblers Friday before last, but was too busy chattering and catching up to finish it, so finished it on the bed in the hotel at the NEC! LOL Not the easiest place Ive ever scrapped… but I’m sure it won’t be the last time.
(Sorry nicola, had to do it!)

More customer LO’s!
Tonight we have some more layouts created by our very talented customers to share with you…….
‘Joj’ by Ann Evans
This is the reason I love scrapbooking, because of the stories behind the pictures that you wouldn’t know from just a photo, Ann’s title comes from her littlies not being able to pronounce their grandad’s name, and so calling him ‘joj’ instead of George….
Also shows that no matter what the overall colour of a kit (After Eights being primarily blue) you can soon turn it to any picture and make it look any colour!
‘There is so much to love about him’ by Claire Fader
Again, shows how a kit can differ depending who uses it!! I always worried this kit was too green and orange, but looks fantastic in Claires layout. I love the dimension thats been created with the embellishments….
Well done ladies!
If you have produced anything with our kits that you’d like to share, please email us a picture to designteam@indigomill.co.uk
Need a giggle?
Claire has posted some piccies from the weekend on her blog…. some are not the most flattering, but there’s a striking resemblance of one man to Laurence Llewellyn Bowen!!!
Check them out here
Upcoming product sneaks
Here’s a couple of sneaks of some Black Market Society paper’s we ordered on Monday….
Scrapbook subjects
I know it isn’t a shop / scrap related topic, but I had to share with you this fabby piccie I took today, we took a drive across to Lincolnshire to spend the day with DT member Elaine and her two gorgeous kids.
Managed to get the monsters to all stand still for 2 seconds to quickly snap this piccie before the huge aeroplane flying over distracted them all!!
Whats your favourite scrapping subject?
We also noticed that you can always tell a scrappers child, as soon as the camera’s produced, they smile and say cheese. Or do it with their own kidtuff cameras!! lol
