Hi there
Thanks for popping in. A while ago, we introduced a collection of clever layout plates, designed as an aid to composition when doing Groovi parchment work. They are brilliant! The whole idea/concept came from a design that lovely Linda Williams created for one of the Groovi Club issues…
Available HERE
I was so taken with the sample she made, I called her to find out how she had done it!
The layout had been created by moving the Nested Square Groovi plate around to build the sections. After a chat and a little creative banter, the idea/concept of the Easy Layout plates was born!
Set 1
Set 2
Take out all the elements and you have some amazing layouts that you can fill with whatever designs you like!
This is what the design team came up with:
Tina was showcasing these plates today on Create & Craft. If you missed the shows, you can watch on Catch Up. The shows were at 11am and 3pm.
I think it helps so much when you have a framework to build your art in and around. These composition plates are ideal for both beginners and seasoned parchers.
Quote for today?
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.

Mmmm. Food for thought.
Speaking of food, I just made a chicken fricassé with capers on a bed of rice. Delicious (if you like capers!). Used way too much flour when I was making the bechamel sauce though. Ended up using ALL the milk in the fridge. So Dave had to go get more milk for our tea. And rice – We’d run out! How do you plan a meal with rice, when there’s none in the cupboard?! Ahhh… but she had the capers. And the chicken. And the flour. And the milk! Almost a full house!
Honestly. My life has become unmanageable. Hang on. What am I saying? My life has ALWAYS been like this! I didn’t know what was for tea until I looked in the kitchen cupboards after work. Saw the capers and thought, “That’ll do!”. And actually, it’s ok. Most people wouldn’t know how to make a creamy bechamel sauce from scratch would they. I bet you can though. But do you use 2 pints of milk and have to strain it ?? That’s the secret!! Anyhow, Dave is a grateful eater, and fortunately he likes capers !
Love always,
