Next Week ... 26th March 2012

Hi everyone,

Another busy week flown by!! I had a wonderful time colouring with Copics in Melbourne over the weekend - can't wait to put some workshops together for you to start playing too :-)

Here is an awesome art journal page done by the very talented Mandi Klinger from CopicAustralia.  All Copic products - except the bling string!!  I had a wonderful time looking through some of her art journals and cards, just amazing what can be done with these markers!

Don't forget to check out the recipe and specials pages to see what's new!!!   This week is the yummy Vietnamese Chicken Wings recipe and 50% off all things Alphabet.

Feedback I've received says that you are all receiving your emails regularly (if you have signed up with the new emailer).  If you aren't receiving the weekly emails you can click here and you will be taken to the sign up page.

Thank you to everyone who are pushing and sharing my posts and links on facebook.  I have noticed an increase in traffic and hopefully that will lead to more workshop participants and shoppers.  It doesn't take long, but makes a big difference!  Thanks for helping promote Made by Mandy Scrapbooking in an effort to keep me open and running great workshops :-)

Tomorrow (24/3) is the Mini Album Envelope Workshop - yeah!  10am until 4pm.  $50  
BOOKED OUT
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.  

Tomorrow (24/3) is also a Scrap'n'Roast.  4pm - midnight.  $16 for 8 hours of scrapping fun with dinner!!!  Still a few spots left if you message, email, facebook, ring me today :-)

Next week's workshop is ... Attack Your Stash - Little Boxes   $10
Another really fun attack.  I started from a page sketch with lots of boxes and I started singing that old song ’little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky, little boxes… well, you know the rest. I’m sure you’re singing now in your head!!  I used up so many trinkets and bits that have been in my stash for ages - I was very pleased with myself!  You will need 2 cardstock for your background, 2 sheets of patterned papers for contrast 1, 1 sheet of double sided patterned paper for the little boxes and 2 sheets of cardstock for photo matting.  You will also need a heap of embellishments to fill your boxes in keeping with your theme.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, a title, edge distressor, foam mounting tape and 10 photos.  Two @ 5¼”x5¼”; 8 @
2 3/8”x2 3/8”.  You probably won’t get all your boxes filled with ticky tacky during the workshop, but you will have the basics of the layout done and you can embellish to your hearts content later on at home...quiet time in front of the tele :-)

Have a great weekend,
Happy Scrapping,
Mandy :-)
