Next Week ... 24th September 2012

Hi everyone!  

Happy School Holidays :-)  Nice weather to begin with, I'm hoping the kids can amuse themselves in the pool!!

Well ... I'm in full swing with rehearsals for both Forbidden Broadway and Copacabana - makes for very busy life right now! Sewing and altering costumes, always on the lookout for just the right bits and pieces while I'm out.  The music from both shows plays on a continuous loop in my head and it's very hard to switch it off! Especially hard when rehearsals are on the same night!!! Luckily they are only 5 minutes from each other, so I can go to Forbidden first then zoom around to Copa ... I know ... sucker for punishment!

Next week's workshop is ...

PAGE MAPS SEPTEMBER   $20

Monday 7-9pm and Thursday 9.30-11.30am

You’re going to love this Page Map.  It has 6 photos, a nice large area for journaling and lots of little fun touches.  You are going to need 6 photos, 1 landscape @ 8x5½”, 4 landscape @ 4x3” (or you could have 2 portrait @ 6x4”) and 1 portrait @ 2½x3½”.  You will also need your basic tool kit, a border punch, a title, your inks, circle punches (½”, ¾” and 1”), strong adhesive - like X-PressIt Gel or Pritt, paper piercer and an embroidery needle.

Kim will be teaching the Monday night workshop :-D THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU KIM! This is so I can attend a full costume run of Forbidden Broadway, so Ben and I can see if we need to change anything, further alterations, etc...

Hi everyone :-)

Done it again!!!  Busy beaver here - how about you?  Have booked a weekend away and I am looking forward to a nice rest... but have to wait a few weeks! 

Next Week's Workshop is ...

Tag You're It!   $18

Monday 7-9pm and Thursday 9.30-11.30am

I pulled out all my tag templates and punches and set to work cutting out all different shapes and sizes of tags to create wonderful eclectic journal and decorative spots on this page. Not only that, the page has an amazing 8 photos on it as well.  Sounds all a bit squishy squashy, but it has quite a clean symmetry to the whole design.  You will need 8 photos for this layout, 1 landscape @ 6x4”, 6 landscape @ 2¼x2¾” and 1 landscape @ 6x2¼”.  You will also need your basic tool kit, craft knife, paper piercer, embroidery needle, a title and your inks.

Don't forget to book your tickets to Forbidden Broadway - http://www.trybooking.com/Booking/BookingEventSummary.aspx?eid=30636 If you'd like an evening of fun parody and comedy, come along!  Season starts 5th October - 13th October, details on booking page link above.
In this long-running Off-Broadway hit musical revue, Broadway's greatest musical legends meet Broadway's greatest satirist in this hilarious, loving, and endlessly entertaining tribute to some of the theatre's greatest stars and songwriters.

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!!! 

$10 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking.  Cancellations made 48 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.**

Mini Album Workshop I have had some interest from two ladies who missed out and would love to do the album.  I need a minimum of 4 to run the workshop again, so .... if you are interested, let me know so we can make a date and make the album!!  This would probably be during the week, but the date is to be decided if we can find a few more that are interested.

My shows are fast approaching, they are going to be so much fun!   Unfortunately, I have to cancel a couple of Monday night workshops to fit in with the rehearsal schedule :-(  So on Monday the 24th September and Monday 1st October there will be no workshops.  There is room in the Thursday workshops if you'd like to come along then.  

More photos to edit, print, collate and deliver!  See you all next week.  Stay out of that bone chilling wind if you can!

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
