Next week...2August 2010

Hi Girls!

Another week has zoomed by - but I got a lot done this week, how about you? I still have 3 ballet tutus to do, but they will be all done by the weekend.   I picked up a really cute pattern for a messenger bag that is patch-worked, so I want to make one (out of all that material I have!).  I am itching to clean up my scrap space & get some crafting happening, especially want to have a play with my cricut... we shall see how we go! 

Next week's workshop is -

Attack Your Stash August  - Rip & Roll! $10

Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12.30-2.30pm and Thursday 9.30-11.30am

Okay -  this is a huge, HUGE, attack your stash!!!  Once you see the layout, you will be itching to do this workshop! We are going to rip and roll our way through your paper stash with this one! You will need 4 photos - 2@4x6” Landscape, 1@ 4x5½” Landscape and 1@4x4¾” Landscape.  From your stash you will  need 2 cardstock for your background, 2 double sided patterned papers for contrast 1, 1 patterned paper (photo mats & title), 10” piece of lace, bookplate, two brads (for the bookplate), 1 metre of wire or stiff cord (I used thin leather book binding cord), ½ metre 2cm wide ribbon, 1 large 1” brad or button, book paper (about 8x11”) and any other embellishments you might like to use (I used a tassel).  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, paper piecer and a title (I cut mine from the leftover photo mat paper).

Next Week ... 26 July 2010

Hi there everyone, hope you've all had a great week!  Kids back at school, life back to normal routine, aaahhhh...enjoying the peace!

I am still frantically scrapping the last of the workshops for the next calendar as well as being surrounded by white tulle....making ballet tutu's! 
 
Next week's workshop is -
Page Maps July   $17.50
Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12.30-2.30pm & Thursday 9.30-11.30am
I changed this page map a little bit, I know...how unusual! The layout can now accommodate 10 photos!!!!  You will need 3 portrait photos @ 4x6”; 6 square photos @ 3x3” & 1 landscape photo @ 4x6”.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, edge distressor, a title, stapler, pencil, ruler & scalpel to cut out lots of squares (to resemble film negative strip) or if you are lucky to have a square punch about 1cm square you could use that (I did mine the hard way!)   As my page is of Jennifer’s sports day I used some cut-outs of girls running - so look through your stash to see what bits you can find for your page.

SCRAP'N'ROAST this Saturday, 24th, from 4 - midnight.  $16.  Fully Booked

This Week....19 July 2010

Hi Girls!

What a lovely day today!!!!  One kiddle back at school & the other back tomorrow.....big sigh of contentment!! (Notice the sun is shining - reflecting the love of mothers who's children have gone back to school today!!)  I love being on holidays - but it's good for them (& me) to go back.  Didn't get any scrapping done - as soon as I would try, kids wanted to do it to...so I left it alone.  Hope you got some done!  
 

I did manage to knit some little jumpers to send to the African Aids Orphans.  A great way to use up all those little bits and pieces of fancy yarn.  If you are interested, let me know & I will email you the pattern.  My cousin-in-law has a friend who collects them and sends them over.

This weeks workshop is...Using Laser Cut Papers   $21

Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12.30-2.30pm and Thursday 9.30-11.30am

There are some stunning laser cut papers on the market today, apart from being pricey, you look at them & think...how will I use that??  We will be using one on our layout so it blends nicely to the page without detracting from the photos.  You will need 1 photo @ 4x6” landscape & 1 photo @ 4x3” portrait, your inks, a title, a border punch and any other embellishments you might like to suit your page ( I have used my slice to cut flourishes & the title, a fancy metal heart & stickles).

Scrap'n'Roast   $16   Saturday 24th July  4pm - midnight  **Booked Out**

During the holidays I received an order of some new glimmermist colours & for those of you have been waiting .... the edge distressors are finally here, yeah!!

Have a great day, hope to see you soon.

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy
