More Cybercropping!!


It's just so addictive!! ...and loads of fun! Best thing is I am scrapping for me inbetween scrapping for workshops. It is nice to do some layouts that are just mine! (They are usually much quicker and less involved than my workshop layouts!)
This page of Daniel as a baby is the result of a sketch challenge - that had to be distressed - from Crafting In Style. Even got my chizel-it out .... and dusted of the cobwebs to distress the edges of the patterned paper.

May, June, July Workshops!

Hi everyone!
Well I have been working hard getting the next lot of workshops ready for you....so without further ado, ta-da, here they are!!
Class times are Monday nights 7pm ~ 9pm and Thursday mornings 9.30am ~ 11.30am.
Just ring or email me to book into the workshops and don't forget the booking fee of $3 per workshop or $6 for Scrap'n'Soup Nights.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

PAGE MAPS 1 "WISH ME LUCK"
THURSDAY 3 MAY & MONDAY 23 JULY $14
Just love using a layout sketch for stunning pages. This page will come together so easily, you will want to use it again & again with a different look each time! You will need 6 photos (these will all be cropped), ink pad, journal pen, brads, alphabet stickers or rub-ons and any other embellishments you may wish to use. I have used buttons, flowers, brads, charm & some ribbon.


BIRTHDAY BOOK TIN
MONDAY 7 MAY & THURSDAY 17 MAY $25
This gorgeous little cd tin hides an accordion album to keep track of all your birthdays...it’s sooooo cute!!! A beautiful gift for that someone special - or do what I did and keep it all for yourself! We will be using the Story Time paper range from Scrapbooking Australia, with a rich almost heritage feel. Along with your basic tool kit, you will need a couple of black /brown or antique brads, dark brown ink pad, journaling pen, stapler, foam mounting squares and of course a list of birthdays (mine is in June, by the way!!!)


GOOD FRIENDS
MONDAY 14 MAY & THURSDAY 24 MAY $17
This is a gorgeous layout with a heritage feel. Use a layering technique of patterned papers and cardstock for stunning effect. You will need one 5”x7” landscape orientation photo and another to fit inside a slide mount. Please bring with you ink pads, brads or buttons & alphabet stickers or alphabet rub-ons.

Apologies for no photo on this layout! Lisa and I just haven't managed to be in the same place, together with a camera!! There should be one by the workshop - I hope!









"BELLA BALLERINA"
MONDAY 21 MAY & THURSDAY 31 MAY $18
This cute layout uses strips of patterned papers overlapped to make a gorgeous mat for the photos to sit on. I have used b&w photos, but you don’t have to. Three photos, 1-5x7 portrait orientation, 2-4x6 either orientation. You will also need a small amount of ribbon, some brads, an ink pad (I used black on my layout) and any other embellishments you think might go well with your layout and photos.

STAR ALBUM
MONDAY 28 MAY $10
Seen these in the mags and thought - too hard? Well once I show you how it’s done, you will wonder why you haven’t done it sooner! A great mini album that ties open and looks like a star. Photos need to be able to be cropped down to about 2x3. You will need to bring an ink pad, embellishments, ribbon, paper scraps and a journaling pen. These make fantastic gifts - maybe you could get a start on those Christmas gifts!






















"I CAN TIE MY LACES"

MONDAY 4 JUNE & THURSDAY 5 JULY $12
I have way too much material ~ surprise, surprise!! So, we are going to use them up on a layout - of course! I even got the pinking shears out to cut the material up and ...sit down… we are using the sewing machine to stitch it all onto the page - yes, I hear your groan!!! Think positive, it will be fun and the overall effect is fantastic.



PUT A SPOT OVER HERE!
THURSDAY 14 JUNE & MONDAY 25 JUNE $9
Lots of circles in this layout of all different sizes and patterns! If you have a circle cutter &/or circle punches, please bring them with you (will save waiting). You only need one 4x6”photo that can be cropped into a circle for this page and journaling pens - I used black and white pens. Also bring your scrap papers - you will use these for the smaller circles - about 3 to 4 different co-ordinating patterns, but if in doubt, bring them all!











ALISON ELLIS DESIGNS - NEW PAPERS
MONDAY 18 JUNE PRICE TBA


PAGE MAPS 2 "OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY"
THURSDAY 21 JUNE & MONDAY 30 JULY $14

Another great layout sketch to create a wonderful double page. You will need 6 photos (5 will be cropped down and one needs to be up to 8”x10” landscape orientation), ink pads, brads, alphabet stickers or rub-ons & anything else you may wish to embellish your page with. My example uses ink, paint, brads, ribbon & alphabet stickers.


DREAMY CIRCLES
MONDAY 2 JULY & THURSDAY 12 JULY $14
This cute page will have you wanting to float away on a cushion of bubbles - oh wouldn’t that be lovely! You will need to bring a journaling pen and two 4x6 photos (either orientation), you can see I used a photo in each orientation, the layout will work well with the photos either way, so don’t worry! Bring different sized circle punches if you have them (it will save having to wait).


TECHNIQUES REVISITED - STAMPING
MONDAY 9 JULY & THURSDAY 26 JULY $13

Flowers, flowers and more flowers!! Using flower stamps, we will reverse stamp and cut them all out to add layer upon layer of flowers to frame our photo. You will need 1 4x6 photo, either orientation, journaling pen, ink pads & brads.
















BLACK & WHITE & RED ALL OVER!
MONDAY 16 JULY & THURSDAY 26 JULY $17
This timeless colour combination always looks stunning be it fashion or on our scrap pages! Using the Black & White range from Scrapbooking Australia, we are going to have fun creating this stunning double layout. You will need 2 4x6 portrait orientation photos, a 1” circle punch (if you have one), stapler, brads or eyelets (not necessary, but will add dimension to your finished layout) and a black journaling pen.

CREATIVE CROP

THURSDAY 10 MAY & THURSDAY 7 JUNE $6

Bring your photos & tools then crop the time away! Great for finishing a layout from a previous workshop or making a dent in that every growing pile of photos. Come along crop, chat and laugh!

SCRAP'N'SOUP

SATURDAY 19 MAY, SATURDAY 30 JUNE & SATURDAY 28 JULY $12

Come along on a Saturday night for 6 hours of scrapping fun! Bring your photos & tools then crop the night away. Soup & hot bread will be served for dinner. Softies in the fridge and the kettle is always handy for a cuppa! There’s usually chocolate biscuits or some other wicked dessert lying around….always lollies on the table ...and yes - you might get some scrapping done!!! Cost includes dinner, drinks & nibbles - great deal!

NO CLASSES ARE SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY 11 JUNE & THURSDAY 19 JULY.


Happy Scrapping!!!
