This Week ... 3rd February 2014

Hello everyone!  

How did you survive our latest installment of the heatwave?  I don't know about you, but I have been finding it extremely difficult to focus and get any 'real' work done!!!  Thank goodness we live so close to the beach and of course having a pool in the backyard was bliss and it was very well utilized by friends and family all week :-)  Enjoy this brief respite as we will be back into by the end of the week!

This week's workshop is ...

MIRROR IMAGE   $23

Thursday 1.00pm - 3.00pm

You all know how much I love using page maps and layout sketches, but sometimes I just can't find a good double pager.  For this page I have found a single page layout that I liked and have simply flipped it over to create a mirror image and consequently a double layout!  You will see how easy it is to extend those layout sketches you have, adding a few extra touches here and there to make it look perfect for your lovely photos.

You will need 5 photos for this layout.  2 landscape @ 3.5x2.5"; 2 landscape @ 2.5x2" and 1 square @ 2.5x2.5".  I know what you're thinking - if this is a mirror image page, how come there's 5 photos??  Well, I changed the journaling spot on one side into an extra photo spot instead!

You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, 2 different border punches, paper piercer, embroidery needle, decorative scissors and some circle punches -@ 1.5" & 2".

Such a busy, busy and hot, hot, hot month, there will be no Scrap'n'Roast for February...so much to do, so little time, just can't fit everything in :-(

We haven't done much Copic colouring lately, so the Copic Club will reconvene on Friday 21st February @ 7.00pm - 9.00pm.  I am going to show you a fun technique called No Line Colouring.  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!  Cost is $20 and bookings are essential.  

The next Art Journaling workshops will be held on Friday 28th February @ 1.00pm & 7.00pm. Stay tuned for more details.

Keep cool! Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
