Next Week ... 24th March 2014

Hello :-)

Bet you thought I had forgotten to update the blog!!!  Well, you'd be right!  Oopsie!

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend, refreshed and ready to go forward into the new week ahead. 

Next Week's Workshop is ...

IT'S A BLING THING   $24

Monday 7-9pm and Thursday 1-3pm

Gotta love some bling and it’s fun on everything, even scrap layouts!!  We are going to be using sequins and glitter varnish to create our subtle bling for this layout.  As part of the class, a bottle of glitter varnish is included, once you’ve used it you’ll use it again and again ;-)  You will need one 3x3 photo for this fun layout.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, corner rounder, a paintbrush, a border punch and strong adhesive like xpress clear gel or pritt liquid to attach the sequins. 

**This is the last Monday evening workshop for a while.  They will start again when I have a minimum of 4 people in the class. So, if you know someone who wants to come scrapping on a Monday night...let me know :-)

ART JOURNALING   $22 

Friday 28th 1-3pm and 7-9pm

We are going back to high school chem class and I am going to show you how to make your own fluid acrylic paints!  This type of paint is, as the name suggest, very fluid and move around the page as well as blending beautifully, but they are very expensive.  Soooo….. we are going to make our own using our everyday acrylic paints and some other magic ingredients ;-)  You will need to bring your acrylic paints, watercolour crayons/pencils, white gel pen/paint pen, gesso, background stamps (like text and random all over pattern), stazon ink, acrylic block, punchinella or a similar small circle stencil, a pencil and a flourish type stamp. Included in this workshop are the extra magic ingredients so you can make lots and lots of colours of fluid acrylic paints at home :-)

As you can see in the pic, I haven't added my two word quote/inspiration... There is a space for it, but I want you to find your own two word quote to stamp onto the page during the workshop!!  I know, mean, mean, mean!!!  Here's a few to get you thinking...

• Seek Clarity
• Tiny Changes
• Dream Big
• Clear Clutter
• Free Yourself
• Live Now
• Think Positive
• Let Go

Okey dokey, off to get the washing off the line.
Happy Scrapping,
Mandy :-)
