How's your week been.  I hope you've had lots of positives too :-)

The Made by Mandy Scrapbooking Group has been deleted and is no more :-( But....the new Made by Mandy Scrapbooking business page is up and running :-)  You can find it here - http://www.facebook.com/MadebyMandyScrapbooking  Much easier to find, I'm sure you'll all agree!

Next Weeks Workshop is ...

More Border Punch Madness   $19

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

We are really going to go mad with border punches on this page!  I used 9 different punches and you can use as many or as little as you like to create this stunning border effect on your page.  You are going to need 6 photos for this double layout.  One portrait @ 6 ½” x 6”; 1 portrait 3”x6”; 1 portrait 3”x5” and 2 @ 2”x2”.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, border punches (remember I used 9), shape punch (I used a butterfly), journal pen (I used a white gel pen) and your title.

Scrap'n'Roast   $16   

11th February 4pm-midnight

Come along on a Saturday afternoon and evening for 8 hours of scrapping fun!  Bring your photos and tools then crop the night away.  A roast hot from the Weber and salad will be served for dinner, followed by dessert.  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!!! 

$5 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking.  Cancellations made 24 hours before and no-shows are liable to pay the balance of the evening.

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

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

Envelope Mini Album  24th March $50

ALL DAY WORKSHOP     FULL KIT INCLUDED

This really cute mini album uses the Martha Stewart Score Board to make cardstock envelopes which will become the pages of our album.  Using a fantastic (and easy) binding method to put our album together you will love this little album. Three different paper kit themes to choose from, using a 6”x6” paper pad with co-ordinating cardstock stickers, there will be a kit for everyone to love.  You will need your basic tool kit, inks, border punch (or two), strong adhesive, MS Score Board, bone folder and your hot glue gun.

We will have a shared lunch, lounging on the deck, so bring along a plate of something savoury to share and I will provide the morning and afternoon tea treats plus your drinks for the day. 

 PLACES LIMITED … BOOKINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.

Cancellations MUST be made two weeks in advance or you will be charged for the kit regardless of whether you are able to attend or not.

Well, that's all from me!!  Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you all soon. Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
