Next Week ... 26th May 2014

Good morning :-)

Our glorious weather continues, amazingly!  Isn't it lovely to get the washing dry each day.  Opening the house for fresh air and not be cold!  Does this mean when winter actually gets a hold it will be mild or viciously cold?

Unfortunately, the lovely weather hasn't stopped people getting sick.  Hope you are all feeling a lot better soon :-) 

You may have noticed that I have been changing the loyalty cards.  The old postcard size loyalty cards will no longer be used after the 31st May.  The new loyalty cards, which are business card sized and fit nicely in your wallets, once completed will give you 10% off any purchase or workshop, but not valid for any products on order or for the Scrap'n'Roast fee. Remember to get your card signed when you pay for your workshops as they will not be back-signed.  

Next Week's Workshop is ...
Perfectly Pearly   $30
NO WORKSHOP MONDAY NIGHT
Thursday 1-3pm

You are going to love this wonderful product - Perfect Pearls from Ranger!  There are so many things you can do with this magic powder and in this workshop we are going to be making a flourishy pearlescent background.  Included in this workshop is a pot of Perfect Pearls (because I know you will want to do this again!!!) and a lovely flourish stamp.
There are 4 photos on this layout - 1 portrait @ 4"x6" and 3 landscape @ 4"x6".
You will need your basic tool kit, a border punch (I used one of my deep edge ones), soft flat paintbrush or an old small makeup blush brush (clean of course:-), acrylic block for the stamp, embossing ink (I found the best one is the distress embossing ink pad - there are some available for purchase in the shop),  a title (I used very large rubons - which didn't work well over the perfect pearl background!  I would recommend stickers or a diecut title.), inks and a small water spray bottle (travel size - I got mine from cheap as chips, I also have mini ones in the shop).

SCRAP'N'ROAST   $10
Saturday 31st May 4pm - midnight
It's that time of the month again.  Yay!!  There are still some spots left for you to come along and scrap the night away.  

ART JOURNALING UPDATE
Due to lots abscences from this week's art journal workshop, we did something completely different than what was arranged!  Next month's workshop will be what was supposed to happen this month, so no-one will miss out on beginning their technique journal as well as continuing in our altered book art journals :-)  
I thought you might like to see what we did instead!  We followed a tutorial from Scrap Centrale - Mixed Media Friday.  Slightly different to adapt to what we had on hand, but lots of fun.  We learnt a new technique with tissue paper and colouring texture paste.  It was fun working along during the afternoon with the tutorial on the ipad, playing and pausing, so we could follow along!
Here are three pages.  The first is mine from the afternoon workshop, the second, which is unfinished, is from the evening workshop and the third, also unfinished, is Jennifer's.  Lots of messy fun :-D

Well, that's all for this week.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Happy Scrapping,
Mandy :-)
