Next Week ... 10th March 2014

Good morning crafty ones :-)

Aren't we lucky to have had such beautiful weather this long weekend?  Just lovely... sitting outside in my Adirondack chair reading, doesn't happen often! Very relaxing.  I hope you've had a wonderful long weekend too.

Stamp-It is the next wholesaler I will be ordering from.  They stock distress inks, dylusions sprays, tim holtz bits, stamps, stencils - the list is endless!  You can visit their website to see all the great products - www.stampitwholesale.com.au/view/home

Please let me know if you would like to order any products by Thursday 20th March.  

Bookings for the fun workshops listed below are being taken, but not looking very good.  Looks like this months Copic and Scrap'n'Roast are both going to be cancelled and already Monday nights workshop has been cancelled :-(

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.

Next Week's Workshop is ...

QUILTING FUN   $22

Monday - CANCELLED

Thursday - 1-3pm

 

Who doesn’t love a quilt, warm and snugly with beautiful pieces of fabric sewn together in amazing patterns?  Well, we are going to recreate a simple quilt background for our photos to rest upon with some simply cute and wonderful ‘appliqué’ to tie it all together!  You will need 4 landscape photos @ 4x6.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, title and your circle cutting system to cut circles ranging from 1 1/2 up to 3” circles.

As you can see in the photo above, I have begun to stitch around the 'quilted' triangles.  This is optional, you can leave it out or use a journal pen to draw in the stitching.   It's up to you!  We will not be sewing in the workshop.

Enjoy the last of this Adelaide Cup Long Weekend.

Happy Scrapping,
Mandy :-)
