<br />
Good Morning, <br />
<br />
The yummy WRMK punch board will feature in my next workshop at Samuel Talyor's in Leeds this Saturday. <br />
We will be making 2 projects, the first is using the fab punch board to make a mini tag book, with hidden pockets, lots of journaling space, and areas to store precious photos. <br />
Incorporating the beautiful new paper range from Teresa Collins "Daily Stories" alongside my new favourite dies from Sizziz and Tim Holtz's Alterations Line. <br />
<br />
There are just a handful of places left, if you would like to come along for a fun day of crafting and shopping then reserve your place by phoning 0113 2480044. <br />
<br />
Hope to see you soon, <br />

I'm also convinced there is a great opportunity now for direct action from you to bring about an even better result – so please read on! Here's the headline:<a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966645" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966645">Princes</a>, the largest tinned tuna supplier in the UK, have <a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966646" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966646">committed to making a dramatic change</a> in the way they source their tuna. They have just announced that they will stop relying on purse seine fishing on fish aggregation devices (FADs). As we highlighted in the Fish Fight series earlier in the year, this fishing method is responsible for huge amounts of bycatch including sharks, rays and other fish, and even some turtles.<br /><br /><a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966647" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966647">Joining forces with Greenpeace</a>, we directly challenged Princes to either change the way they catch tuna, or to remove the misleading environmental statements they were making on their tins.We're delighted to say they've chosen the former option!<a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966648" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966648">Princes have pledged</a> that by the end of 2014 all their tinned tuna will be caught by either pole and line or FAD-free purse seine nets.This is tremendous news.This latest result brings the company in line with Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose, whose tinned tuna is all FAD free. Let's not also forget<a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966649" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966649"> Tesco</a>, who made <a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966650" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966650">a fantastic commitment</a> to go 100% pole and line back in January, just before our programmes went out. We've also just heard that Asda have committed to match Princes's strategy to remove all FADs from their supply chains.So what is next? That leaves just two companies - John West and Morrisons - which are refusing to stop buying tuna caught by purse seine fishing on FADs. We now have a massive opportunity to make these companies improve their practices, starting with John West. I'd like to ask you to help take this campaign one step further by emailing John West to urge them to change their tuna sourcing, by dropping FADs and/or sourcing from pole and line fisheries. You can find all the details on how to do this on <a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966651" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966651">Greenpeace's website</a>. It will only take a few minutes to do but I'm absolutely convinced that direct pressure from you could rapidly bring about this vital change.<a title="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=" tid="5966652" href="http://fishfightnews.net/_act/link.php?mId=P889740385640295742114544278&tId=5966652">Email John West now!</a>The rest of the Fish Fight campaign continues full steam ahead!

The class will concentrate more on techniques than finished cards, but this mini project will let you have something nice to have on your craft room wall to remind you of some hints and tips.<br />The second half of the class is using another of Tim's New stamp sets, Papillon CMS106, wowzers these are just fab!
