Next Week ... 31 January 2011

Hi everyone,

Almost back to school time.....huge sigh of relief!!!!  Although poor kids are going back in nearly 40 degree heat, but I will be fine in the comfort of an air-conditioned shopping centre, retail therapy with no children in tow - now that is bliss ;-P

Next week's workshop is - 

ATTACK YOUR STASH   $10

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

Time to dig into your stash again!  You will need eight photos - two portrait photos @ 4x6”, four portrait photos @ 3x4” and two landscape photos @ 4x3”.  From your stash you will need background - two 12x12 patterned paper, contrast 1 - two sheets double sided patterned paper and contrast 2 - one 12x12 double sided patterned paper or two 6x12” of different patterned papers, two flourishes (about 8½x1” can be a stamp, chipboard, sticker or rubons).  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, 1¼” circle punch and any other embellishments you might like to use on your page.

The last Scrap'n'Roast before I zoom off to Vietnam is on the 5th February starting at 4pm - midnight.   $16 for the evening and as it is sooooo close to Chinese New Year (Year of the Rabbit), I thought we would have that as our theme for the evening!!!  Other themes  for this release are Purple for Epilepsy and Easter! Bookings are open NOW, remember scrap'n'roast evenings book out really quickly!  Check  out the dates in the new newsletter.

Single sided patterned papers are on sale - 75cents each!!  Stock up while you can!

Doubled sided 6mm x-press tape is back in stock.  Still a bargain at $2.50 a roll!  I am keeping the price the same for each roll, but the 5 for ten dollars special has finished.

There are a few laybys still in the cupboard (all overdue) and I would appreciate it if they were finalised before the 10th February.   


See you all soon,
Happy Scrapping,
Mandy :-)

Next Week ... 17 January 2011

Hi Girls,

Back from a lovely few days at Victor with the 'new' caravan.  Beautiful weather, bike rides, beach walks and lots of relaxing in our new easy chairs!  Sebastian was the hit of the weekend, riding around in my bike basket 'cause he couldn't walk any more!!  Here he is doing a bit of surfing...look at that form....he's just so  darn cute!

Well onto next week's class!

Page Maps  $21

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

You have a bit of a choice with your photos for this page map!  I found the page map and thought perfect, unfortunately it didn’t fit with my photos.  So… I did pretty much the same page map design but just changed the direction of the small photos and it worked quite well.  Now all you have to do is look through your photos and choose which version suits them best.  Version 1 - one landscape @ 4x6” and nine portrait @ 3x4” OR Version 2 - one landscape @ 4x6” and ten landscape @ 3x4”.  You must choose one or the other, you can’t have a mixture!!  The layout on show has Version 2 photos.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, title, zigzag ruler, embroidery needle and a paper piercer.

Kids Workshop   $20   

Tuesday 18th 10:00am - 12:00pm

Want something to do with the kids?  Come along and help them scrap their own page!  All they need to bring are five portrait orientation photos.  Everything is supplied.  They will learn how to use a trimmer to measure and cut their papers.  We will also be inking and using the cuttlebug to cut out our title and some other embellishments.

Bookings are essential.

Parent/Carer must stay with the child/ren they have booked in - no exceptions.

Scrap'n'Roast  $16  **FULL**

Saturday 22nd January 2pm - midnight

Come along on a Saturday afternoon & evening for 8 hours of scrapping fun!  Bring your photos & tools then crop the night away.  A roast hot from the Weber & salad will be served for dinner.  Softies in the fridge and the kettle is always handy for a cuppa!  There are always nibbles on the table ...and yes - you might get some scrapping done!!! 

Cost includes dinner, drink & nibbles – a great deal! 

**Workshop loyalty card is not signed & no free classes valid for Saturday Scrap Nights.**

That's all for now!

Happy Scrapping,

Next Week ... 10 January 2011

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas and New Year celebrations!  Christmas was very quite here, for a change and New Year was full with friends and family laughing, eating and swimming!

Next week's class already!

Border Punch Madness!!!

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

 

Yes, you read it correctly, I went mad with border punches on this layout!!  Muhahahaha! The effect is absolutely amazing and worth the effort.  I have used 5 different border punches on this layout - don’t worry if you don’t have that many, as there will be some for you to borrow during the workshop. You can also use decorative edge scissors, or even a combination of both!  You will need six portrait photos @ 4x6” for this layout. (Or 4 landscape photos @ 4x6") You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, border punches or decorative scissors and a title - letters no more than ¾” high as they are going onto bunting (flags on a ribbon!).

The first Scrap'n'Roast for the year is tomorrow!  I have been busy fossicking through some 1970's and 1980's photos that my mum sent over with Christmas gifts.  As with most photos from that time, they are predominantly brown!!!  Thank goodness the photo processing today is much more colourful and stays that way! There are no spots available for tomorrow's Scrap'n'Roast or for the next one on the 22nd January.  Stay tuned for the new newsletter with dates for more Scrap'n'Roasts!

Girls who ordered the Cricut's are going to be in cricutty cutting heaven next Wednesday!!!  I can't wait to see what sort of creations they come up with.

Core-dinations has been all stocked up - not many holes in the racks now!  Only a few bits of stock came in, mostly new papers....

SALE SALE SALE SALE SALE

For the month of January all the single sided patterned papers will be on sale for 75 cents a sheet!!  That's right $0.75 each!!!!  We need to make room for some more paper racks to hole all the new double sided patterned papers that are coming in to the shop.  Great time to stock up for your Scrap'n'Roasts page kits and those Attack Your Stash Workshops, not to mention for when you are scrapping at home or with friends. Come in and SAVE!

Remember - Kid's Workshop is on the 18th January.
