Next Week ... 16 August 2010

Hi!  Another week - been very exciting and busy here, how about you?

Let's see....  Firstly, I started a Made by Mandy Scrapbooking group on Facebook!  It is open to everyone, so head on over and join the group.  You can post images of your work, list a bargain you've found somewhere, invite your scrapping friends to join.  A great way to keep up with what's happening in my store too!

Then, I was struck by inspiration and made what I think are some really gorgeous flowers.  They are ready for sale, ready for you to decorate.  I think you will love them too. (See post below)

I also went mad cutting out chipboard shapes from Tim Holtz's latest range of dies (which are to die for - pardon the pun!) and put them on eBay for sale.  You can follow the link from the facebook group to see them and buy them.  You can local pickup them from me next time you are in the store.

Lastly, I booked flights to Vietnam (sorry for the disruption during Wednesday's class ladies!) to go and visit my brother and family.  My kids are understandably super excited...

Tomorrow night's Scrap'n'Roast Pyjama Party is all set to be one fun evening!  If you thought you had missed out I have had one cancellation so that means there is 1 spot available for this great evening.  So if you want to come along, ring or email me quickly...first in, best dressed, in pyjama's of course!  
$16 4pm - midnight.

Next Week's Workshop is ...

Keep It Simple   $20

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

Sometimes, you just don’t need all the extra bits to make a stunning page, so in this workshop we will make two stunning pages, nice and simple.  

For layout 1 you will need 1@4x6” portrait; 1@5x7” portrait; 1@ 6x8” portrait; 1@4x6” landscape  **Extremely important** The 6x8” photo will be cut in two portrait wise, so ensure that you can do this without cutting through some one's face! 

 

 For layout 2 you will need one 4x6” portrait photo.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, shape punch about 1½-2” and a title for both pages or use your slice/cricut machine.  (Notice my new flowers on the layout!!)

Last week's giveaway was won by........drum roll please......Brenda!!!!!  Congratulations, Brenda.  I will give you your prize when I see Wednesday.  Yeah!
