Happy Australia Day!!  

Hope you had a wonderful, Aussie kind of day :-) We had a scrumptious lamb roast shared with family after a luxuriously long swim in the pool. 

This weeks workshop is ... Page Kit $30

Monday 7:00-9:00pm and Thursday 1:00-3:00pm

I've got a wonderful kit for you this week!  Soft muted tones with a splash of rusty red :-) The fun part of this kit ... it has all been cut out for you with my sizzix eclips machine! Yes, you can cut everything you need for a page on your electronic cutting machine, especially if you have software for you computer so you can manipulate all your shapes.

You will need 2 portrait photos @ 4x6". You will also need your basic tool kit and inks.  You can add your title later when you get home - maybe cut it out of the leftovers using your own electronic cutting machine!

Art Journaling $17.95

Friday 1:00-3:00pm and 7:00-9:00pm

We are going to be doing two quick background page spreads in this workshop!  You can add a word or saying for homework when you get home :-)  Both pages are using stencils in different ways and to build your collection a new stencil is included for you in this workshop.  You are going to love both pages!

You will need to gesso two lots of pages (4 in total).  

Supply wise you will need - 

* paint - 2 colours + black

* glimmermist/smooch spray - 3 colours

* stencils - 4-6 different ones + new one included in workshop

* stencil brush or similiar 

* normal paint brushes

* baby wipes

* book pages x 3 ( in case we get time to add our word to the second page!)

Enjoy your holiday Monday! 

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)

This week ... 20th January 2014

Good morning all,

Hope you survived the hot weather!  The weekend was glorious with lovely sea breezes, ahhhhhh....

My computer has been out of action for over a week, thankfully I shall pick it up today :-) Because of this my planned class for this week will be delayed a week, but I sat in the scrap room yesterday and did another layout for you.

This weeks workshop is ...

SPOTS BEFORE YOUR EYES!  $19

Thursday 23rd, 1:00-3:00pm

As the name suggests, lots of circles adorn this double layout!  All with a myriad of layered circles there are a plethora of banners which all culminates in a wonderful feast for the eyes :-)

This layout will work well for both female and male with just the selection of your cardstock and papers.

You will need 3 portrait photos @ 4x6". You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, circle punches (all sizes you have), circle cutting system (we won't be cutting anything bigger than 3"), a title, embroidery thread, embroidery needle and a paper piercer.

Hope to see you soon.  Stay cool!

Happy scrapping,

Mandy :-)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you kept cool to see in the new year.  Luckily we have a pool, so new year celebrations were at our place and we all made good use of the pool and spa :-)

This weekend we will start the scrapping year with a Scrap'n'Roast on the 11th starting at 4pm.  $20 for the evening, book in now to get a head start on all those photos you took over the holiday break ;-)

Next Week's Workshop is ...

Page Maps, A Christmas Layout   $17

Monday 7-9pm and Thursday 1-3pm

We are going to start the year scrapping our Christmas photo straight away!!  You are going to need 4 photos @ 4x4" square.  If you would like to cut a photo of your Christmas tree to use as the embellishment, as I have done, you will need 1 portrait photo of your Christmas tree blown up to 8x10".  I also used a photo of a vase of roses from the Christmas table (as I had a rose theme) as the embellishment cluster on the opposite side of the layout - so put your thinking cap on and think outside the box!  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, a title, sewing needle and cotton - the normal kind for sewing not embroidery.

Next Week's is also ...

Art Journaling   $11

Friday 1-3pm and Friday 7-9pm

This cute, cute page is not as hard as it looks!  You will need to gesso your page before class.  You will need paints, glimmermist/colorshine/smooch sprays, Sharpie fine marker or paint pen, black stazon ink, a stamp to create the background with - I used a large flower and acrylic block to fit your stamp.  For your stamp you could use flowers, butterflies, flourishes, text - anything!!!!

Booking open for all workshops now!!  Ring, email or text to book :-)

Hope to see you soon.

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
