Next Week ... 3rd March 2014

Hello, hello, beautiful crafty ones :-)

March's newsletter is up on the blog.  You can find it here -

http://madebymandynewsletter.blogspot.com.au/  It's another month full of fun and fabulous workshops!!  Even trying the Copic Workshop again - hopefully it will go ahead this time, if not there will be no more Copic workshops in the future.  I have moved it to a Saturday afternoon, so I hope that will suit people better.

I am placing an order with X-Press Graph-X next week.  If you would like to order anything from them, please visit their website to see what products they have  -

Next Week's Workshop is ...

PAGE MAPS   $20

Monday - no workshop; Thursday 1-3pm

This cute page map reminds me of a fairground with it’s circle bunting combined with circles of all different sizes in the background - bring on the fairy floss! There are 6 photos on this wonderful layout, 3 portrait @ 4x6” and 3 square @ 3x3”. You will need your basic tool kit, inks, title, circle cutter (about 10” circle), ¾” (or 1”) circle punch, a border punch and a journal pen (to draw in your ‘string’). I also used an extra photo to silhouette the image which became my embellishment - so if you have an extra photo, you could do the same :-)

COPIC WORKSHOP   $20

Saturday 22nd March 1 - 3 pm

We haven't done much Copic colouring lately and February’s workshop was cancelled, hopefully this workshop will go ahead! I am going to show you a fun technique called No Line Colouring. There is still a line, but it's not as bold as we would normally use. Included in your workshop is a Memento ink pad which is a requirement for this technique. This fun technique has become popular lately due to the effective illustration style it results in, and the personal colouring challenge it presents. I think you are going to love the difference to your stamped images! You will need to bring along your Copic markers and your glasses ;-P 

Blending card, Memento Ink Pad and stamped image supplied.

SCRAP'N'ROAST   $20

Saturday 22nd March 4pm - midnight

The next Scrap'n'Roast evening is scheduled for the 22nd, so start pulling out those projects you want to finish or maybe something new that you can work on for 8 hours!!!  

Please remember to book into all workshops so I can prepare for you.  Deposits for the Scrap'n'Roast are required to secure your booking.

Enjoy this wonderful weather and take lots of pictures.

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
