Next Week ... 27 June 2011

Brrrrr...... Oh how I have wanted to have the heater turned up during the day this week!!!   But, being at home by myself I just put on another jumper....hope you have all been keeping warm :-)

Finally, finally, finally, the core-dinations cardstock is back in stock at Print Blocks, so I have put in an order to fill those empty slots in the scrap room... and yes there will be some black.... yaahhhoooooooo!!!!!  Shall let you know when it arrives at my place - especially for those of you who have been waiting patiently ... Lisa :-)

Next weeks workshop is ...
Faux Pergamano   $18
Monday 7-9pm, Wednesday 12.30-2.30pm and Thursday 9.30-11.30am
 (Sorry the photo keeps turning on it's side...!)

Pergamano is  a very old parchment craft that uses parchment and a range of tools to make holes and emboss the parchment.  In this layout we are going to cheat a bit and use vellum and a needle to create a sweet effect on flowers or stars and cardstock.  You will need 2 landscape photos @ 4x6”.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, needle and a title (I used vellum and cardstock to cut out my title on the cuttlebug).

I finally have some photos of the Gatefold Mini Album to whet your appetite! And yes, we will be making these cute 3d roses that are on the front cover!! There are only 3 spots left for this Saturday Fun Crop Day, 2nd July, 9.30am - 5pm.  $35



ALL DAY WORKSHOP     
FULL KIT INCLUDED

This gorgeous Gatefold Mini Album uses some stunning KandCo papers and coordinating embellishments.  We will be making our own ‘paper bags’ from double sided papers, along with the pockets, tags galore, this will be a wonderful mini album to keep or give as a gift.
Full printed instructions will be given on the day so you can recreate this album again.

You will need your basic tool kit, inks, a stylus or scoring board, a border punch or two (I used the same border punch throughout, but you can use different ones on each pocket), a corner rounder (I used a plain and decorative one) and a heat gun/glue sticks (if you have one).

Bring some lunch to share (just a small amount), I will provide the morning and afternoon tea, tea, coffee and cool drinks.

PLACES LIMITED

BOOKINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.


It's that time again, where I start scrapping madly for the next calendar instalment of workshops!  Now is the time to let me know if there are any techniques you would like to learn so I can incorporate them into a layout for you.  So.....drop me an email or leave a comment on here on the blog.

You know the new etzcetera magazine I was telling you about?  Well, the first issue is free - so head on over to Kim's site and register your email.  The first issue is due for release on the 1st July.


Is anyone interested in a Lowepro Fastpack 100 Camera Bag?  The bottom half is the camera bag, padded with repositionable padded dividers, while the top half is backpack for your wallet, keys, etc.  As Gavin bought me a bigger one for my birthday, to house my extra lenses and flash unit, this one is no longer needed.  It is only 16 months old, like new with no marks or wearing.  It is red and black. $75

Well that's all for this week,
Keep warm and
Happy Scrapping,
Mandy :-)
