Next Week ... 25 March 2012

Good morning all :-)

My goodness, the end of March already!  Hasn't that just flown past at lightning speed?  Must mean I'm keeping busy and not up to any mischief!!! 

6"x12" canvases have just arrived, for those who were after them.  Limited stock, so you'll have to be quick.  Also in, white Molotow paint markers and a restock of Tripletac.

Having fun with my art journal - remember the first page we all did and I demonstrated the technique in a different colour combo?  Well, I thought you like to see my work in progress using one of those backgrounds...

Now to think of some wording, hmmmmm....  

Next Two Weeks Workshop are ...

PAGE MAPS   $19

Monday 25th March 7-9pm; Thursday 4th April 9.30-11.30am

**No workshop Thursday 28th March or Monday 1st April due to Easter

This excellent page map uses 7 photos plus three sheets of double sided papers to their best potential! You will need three portrait photos @ 4”x6” and four landscape photos @ 4”x3”. (**If you don’t have enough photos, you can change the four smaller photos to two portrait @ 4”x6”.) You will also need a border punch - not too deep, your inks, foam mounting tape, a title (I used letter stickers) and either a journal pen for faux stitching or a sew stamper works well too. 

Have a happy and safe Easter,

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-) 

Next Week ... 18th March 2013

Good morning everyone!

Wasn't that coolish change just lovely?  I hope you have all slept a little better the past few nights!  I know I have been like a zombie, forgetting everything, lol!

Thank goodness the airconditioning was working quite nicely last Thursday at Paper Flourish!  I spent the day and evening with Finnabair, aka Anna from Poland - you can find her here - tworzysko.blogspot.com.au  Such fun creating in a new way!!!

ATTACK YOUR STASH - FRAMED!   $10

Tags - for journaling & embellishing (I used a photo with writing cut down.)

I also used some bling strips to decorate some strips.

Hope you have a great weekend,

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)

 

 

 

Next Week ... 4th March 2013

Hello my arty friends!

The end of the week already!  What a funny and busy week it's been, all four seasons have graced us, my sweet little girl turned 13, I have gifted my first canvas... what have you been up to?

Today is Art Journal time, yay!! 

12.30-2.30pm and 7-9pm  $12

Some great techniques in this months art journal page, be prepared to get messy - we are going to be using our fingers!  We are going to have fun with watering down our paints, charcoal, stamping, texture paste and stencils.

You will need to bring your art journal, your page needs to be prepped with gesso.  Plus you will need paints, paintbrushes, a couple of the spare pages you have ripped out of your book, scissors, tripletac and your heat gun (if you have one).

Next Week's Workshop is ...
Pass the Serviettes Please   $24

Monday 7-9pm, NO WORKSHOP THURSDAY (This will be on Thursday 14th)

Fun, fun, fun!  You are going to love this effect :-)  We are going to be using serviettes, among other things, to create this wonderful background for our page.  You will need 2 photos, mine are those square early 80’s photos, so we can flexible here.  You will also need your basic tool kit, around the page border punch set, inks and a title (I used some metal numbers).

FREE TAG SWAP WORKSHOP

Friday 8th March 

12.30-2.30pm, 7-9pm  

This fun FREE workshop is in the attack your stash format.  Each class will have a theme and you will make as many tags as there are people in the class. You will basically make the same tag, although some elements may differ, depending what you’ve got hanging around in your stash.  A the end of the class we will all swap tags and you will go home with one of your own and one of everyone else's!  Fantastic for using up smaller papers and those embellishments you bought and have never used - yeah, I know you’ve got some!!  The theme for this swap will be using the sentiment ’Wish’ with the colours teal and purple.  Start thinking outside the square, ummm, I mean tag :-)

Upcoming workshops - 

Card Workshop, 13th March 12.30-2.30pm

Scrap'n'Roast is on the 16th March, $20, 4pm-midnight. 

Have a great weekend!

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
