About this Event
Creative Club IRL (in real life) meet-up! ❤
Come along and join my journaling, scrapbooking & creative hobby hangout! Bring your journal, scrapbooking supplies or any crafty project/ hobby you’d like to work on and let’s have some creative time together as a little community!
Our May 2026 theme is:
𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅ Kawaii ‧₊˚ ⋅𐙚
Our Creative Club IRL theme for May is ‧ ₊ kawaii ₊ ‧ ('cute' in Japanese) because I am going to Japan, so this is a great excuse for me to buy you all cute little treats like japanese stickers to include in your kawaii bundles!! So excited!!
For this session our only goal is to having fun using our cutest supplies, revelling in the cuteness and childlike charm of tiny adorable characters and happily covering everything in stickers :3
What to bring:
Want to bring along your junk journal supplies for a scrap and yap? Perfect, that’s what I’ll be doing too! Got a handmade card you’d like to make? Got an embroidery or crochet project you’re currently working on? Bring it along! This is open to anyone who would like to get creative alongside a community of other likeminded people, so please bring along any supplies with you for what you personally would like to create.
You can choose to follow our monthly theme (above) as inspiration, but you don't have to - make whatever you like!

Collaborative activities:
𐙚 Kawaii friends: draw or doodle a cute character and bring it with you to add to our cute collaborative page!

🞷 About the venue 🞷
In a grand old building at the heart of Birmingham’s historic centre is the flagship Boston Tea Party cafe. Just a stones-throw from Birmingham New Street Station (approx 10 minute walk) you can grab coffee, breakfast, ‘the best brunch in Birmingham’, lunch, tea, or cake (despite the name, Boston Tea Party is not just a tea and coffee shop!)
