Next Week...26th October 2009

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all well. I am quickly sending this off to while the children are in the pool!!! Yes, the first swim of the season - have to go out & take some photos.

Thanks to all the girls who came to the 1st Slice Girls club last night. Hope you learnt a bit about your little wonder machines & will use them to their fullest capabilities! Don't be scared to use them. I have sent off the order for the mats & cards this morning, so should be here in 2 weeks.

Next Week - Weaving magic

Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12-2pm & Thursday 9.30-11.30am

Weaving - it is one of the oldest art forms using materials to make all manner of items. We are going to use paper strips to create a stunning woven corner to highlight our photos with the title of Remember Moments - which can cover any event! You will need 1 landscape photo @ 4x6”, 2 landscape photos @ 2x3”, your basic tool kit, title, inks, 2” & 1½” circle punch/cutting system. *Slice girls - Words & Expressions has words galore to choose for your title.

Next weekend, Saturday 31st, is going to be busy, busy, busy!!!

Michelle is holding her Fiskars Last Minute Christmas Ideas from 10am - 4pm. This is fully booked. Those of you booked in, please bring your basic tool kit and lunch to share. Tea & coffee facilities are available, just bring your water bottle or any other drinks you would like.

Scrap'n'Roast follows the Fiskars workshop from 4.30 - midnight! This session is fully booked. First one in a while after my theatre stint!!

Friday 6th November, 7-9pm, is the first of the Photoshop workshops. $10 for the evening. In this workshop we will be doing some navigation around Photoshop & basic photo cropping using a clipping mask - you will absolutely love it! No more headaches when I ask for funny sized photos with this handy application. Spaces still available. If you have a laptop, bring it along as you can work along with me. Don't worry if you haven't as I will have my laptop hooked up to a projector screen, so you will be able to see exactly what is happening. Please let me know if you are bring a laptop, so I can prepare a disk for you in advance - this kind of workshop is much easier if we are all working on the same pictures.

Saturday 7th November, 4pm - midnight, I will be having a impromptu Scrap'n'Roast, $15. The only person booked into this evening so far is me!!! So ring or email me back to book in & scrap the night away. First in, best dressed (scrapper that is!)

I have put in an order for some of the new EK success border punches & also have some of the latest machines coming called i-top from Imaginese. They allow you to create your own brads - go here & have a look at the videos & see how easy it is to make your own customised brads for your projects. http://www.imaginisce.com/Videos.aspx So keep your eyes peeled in the shop for new papers, tools & well......you'll just have to wait & see!!

That's all for now. Off to put dinner on & take pics of the children. Then taking Jennifer to see Fame (on stage, not the movie). Have friends on stage & in the pit. Looking forward to being in the audience for a change!
See you all soon,

Mandy
