Next Week ... 12 October 2009

Good morning scrappy girls!

Still busy here with Calamity Jane - two shows today! BIG sleep-in tomorrow!!!! I used my slice & the tag design card to cut out the unofficial 'Band Dressing Room' sign, all inked & attached to string, all in keeping with the theme!! Will take a photo before it comes down. Only two more sleeps & kids are back at school.....good & bad, means they are not hanging around annoying me because they are bored, but means I have to get up & out of bed early to take them to school....guess I can just go in my pj's & hop back into bed when I get home!!!! (Very unlikely, but dreams are fun!!!)

It is hay fever season & those of you who know me well, know that I am a bad sufferer. Could I please ask....very, very nicely...if everyone could please refrain from wearing perfumes in the scrap room. My eyes, nose, throat & lungs thank you very much!!!

Next weeks workshop is Storyboard $18

Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12-2pm; Thursday 9.30-11.30am

Have you got a series of photos that tell a story? Well lets put them onto a layout...storyboard style! Using a storyboard eliminates the need for journaling as you only need a title & the date as the photos tell the story for you. You will need 8 photos - 4@4x6” portrait & 4@4x6” landscape. You will also need your basic tool kit, dymo machine, title, embroidery needle & floss, dimensional magic & any embellishments you think will match your ‘story’ (I have used flowers cut from paper, buttons, silk flower & a transparency with a saying on it).

Bookings for the upcoming Scrap'n'Roasts, Slice Girls Club, Christmas Card Workshop & Photoshop Workshops are filling fast! I have attached the newsletter again to the email, as some of you didn't realize it was there & accidentally deleted it. So sit done with a coffee & let me know what you would like to book into.

See you all soon, keep on scrapping!!

Next Week...28th September

Hi Girls! What a funny week - sun, rain, hail, sun!!! Lucky it doesn't affect our scrapping, isn't it??!! LOL!
Well, I have finally finished the next newsletter so should be up on website soon - fingers crossed. Onto next week, the week first of the school holidays and the long awaited.....

Playing with Glimmermist $20
Monday 7-9pm, Wednesday 12-2pm & Thursday 9.30-11.30am
You are going to love this product from Tattered Angels! The pigment ink with a glitter suspension is just absolutely gorgeous!!!
I will show you some great ways to play with glimmer mist to make your pages unique. You will need only 1 photo, either orientation @ 4x6” for this page, your basic tool kit and inks. If you have a heat gun, bring that along so you don’t have to wait too long for drying! We will be working with the colours you can see in the above sneak peek - purple, blue & green. I did sew on this page - but it took me 4 hours....so that not be done in class, but you can do it at home at your leisure!

See you all soon - if you are coming to either Jesus Christ or Calamity Jane, I hope you really enjoy the shows. Come down to the pit & say hello (throw money or chocolate!!!)

Happy Scrapping - and to all the mum's hopefully a sane holiday break! I love that I don't have to rush in the mornings...
Mandy

Next Week...21st September

Hi Girls,

All very exciting here - new sewing machine (which I still haven't turned on....yet!) & Jesus Christ starts this week!!!! A great Scrap'n'Roast last night, the last for a month due to my theatre fun. I am working on the last of the projects for the newsletter, so you should expect that in your inbox by the end of the week, if I don't get caught up playing with my machine too much! I will try and restrain myself...

Tags, Tags, Tags $14

Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12-2pm; Thursday 9.30-11.30am

You all know I love tags - so I have turned some of my photos into tags on this page! You will love tags too when you have finished this workshop - they are so versatile and come in so many shapes and sizes!!! You will need 1 portrait orientation 4x6” photo, 1 photo that can be cropped to 4x3” landscape orientation and 3 photos that can be cropped to 4 3/8 x 2 1/8” landscape orientation for the tags. You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, mini stapler, photo corner punch, a border punch and something for your title (mine is printed onto 5 5/8 x 2 1/8” photo paper then cut into a tag shape).

Hope you all have a great week, see you soon. Happy Scrapping,

Mandy

Next Week...24th August

Hi Girls, Cold, wet & windy again this morning....that nice weather was just to lull us into a false sense of spring! Ahhh, but that won't stop us scrapping - no way!!!

Next week - the long awaited Que Sera Sera layout! $16

Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12-2pm; Wednesday 7-9pm; Thursday 9.30-11.30am

One of the latest paper ranges from K&Co is the Que Sera Sera range - and it is gorgeous!! While not in kit form, I have kept the papers aside & you will choose from them to do your layout. That way you still have a bit of choice with colours & patterns. I have used some heritage photos on my layout from 1947, so they are of an irregular size, you will be able to use normal 4x6” photos, 2 portrait orientation & 1 landscape orientation. You will need your basic tool kit, inks, distress inks, a title (mine are small metal letters), journal pen and any extra embellishments you think will enhance your page - I have used a decorative button as part of my title, a silk flower, a die cut key & homemade tassel. If you have a threading water border punch, bring it along, so you don’t have to wait!

Scrap'n'Roast this Saturday, 22nd August, 4pm - midnight, $15. There are a few spots left if you would like to come along, ring, email or drop in to book & pay your $5 deposit to secure your spot.

The first of my impromptu Scrap'n'Roasts will be held on Saturday, 29th August, 4pm - midnight, $15. This one is completely open, so that means all 9 spots are up for grabs!! Be quick to ring, email or drop in to book & pay your $5 deposit to secure your spot.

Exciting news for me - I am going to be playing Sax in the upcoming production of Jesus Christ Superstar!!!! I am soooo excited, even if I have had to rewrite all the music! If you are interested you can book at Bass - here is the direct link to the show - http://www.bass.net.au/events/database/JESUSCHRIST2009/ Tickets are $29.65/$24.65. Should be a fantastic show - if you do come, don't forget to come down & say hello to me in the pit, before, after or at interval.

Off to warm my fingers!
Happy scrapping..

Mandy

I have started scrapping for the next calendar of workshops (Oct - Jan), so if there is a special technique or subject you would really like to see - just let me know & I will see if I can work it into the calendar. Already I have Slice Club and Photoshop Workshop to incorporate. So if you see something somewhere & want to know how it's done...

Happy Scrapping until next week,
