Next Week ... 16th April 2012

Hello, hello everyone :-)  

I trust you all had a wonderful Easter break!  We headed down to Meningie, on the shores of Lake Albert, for 6 days and had a wonderfully relaxing time. Here you can see the girls decorating Easter boxes for the Easter Bunny.  Plus having fun with Duct Tape and Beach Towels in a 40knot wind!!! 

Got some really great shots over the weekend - can't wait to scrap them!  I taught the kids how to light paint with their torches...they had soooooo much fun! 

 

This Saturday, 14th April, is the Easter Scrap'n'Roast!!!  There are still plenty of spots available as only 3 are booked in.  A great opportunity to catch up on your unfinished pages!  CLICK HERE TO BOOK NOW  

(This Scrap'n'Roast may be cancelled due to insufficient numbers...so book before it's too late!)

INTRODUCTION TO COPIC MARKERS is open for bookings!  This workshop will be run twice, so you don't miss out :-)  

5th or 26th May 2012,  

1-3:30pm.  $40

The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of other things… If you have been interested in Copic Markers but have never seen them in action, this is the workshop for you!!!  You will get to play, learn some basic blending techniques and make a card with your coloured image.  Workshop includes 3 Ciao markers to begin your collection, images printed onto X-press Blending Card (enough to make 6 cards), 6 pack of cards, printed paper (for card), Copic hand colour chart (printed on X-press Blending Card) and a small stamp set.  You will need to bring your basic tool kit, inks and foam mounting tape.

Bookings essential. Deposit of $10 at time of booking with the balance to be paid in full 7 days before the workshop.

Next Week's Workshop is ...
