Next Week ... 16th December 2013

Good morning everyone :-)

Oh my goodness!!!!  Only 11 sleeps until Christmas and this is the last week of scrapping for the year!  This year has flown by at ultrasonic speed for me...so much to do, so little time!

Scrap'n'Pizza

Sunday 15th December 12pm-12am

As the bookings were not enough to keep the Christmas Scrap'n'Roast going, I have decided that I still wanted to spend the day scrapping :-)  So, this is the new plan...  Starting at 12 pm, bring a small plate of lunch to share, then we can start scrapping the day and night away.  When we get hungry we will order pizza's and split the cost between us.  Bring along your drink of choice and a bag of lollies or chips. Oh  and don't forget all your scrapping gear, lol!  Still time to book in if you'd like to join us.

Next Week's Workshop (and last for the year) is ...

Page Maps   $23

Monday 7-9pm and Thursday 9.30-11.30am

 
A double layout page map this month.  I’ve added a few extra elements to the map, so you can see that you don’t have to stick rigidly to the page map, but just use it as a guide.  There are lots of places on the internet that bring out free ones - I love www.pagemaps.com, if you search for page maps scrapbooking or scrapbooking sketches, you will find lots of web pages out there with heaps of page map ideas for you to begin with.

You will need 3 photos, 2 landscape @ 6x4” and 1 landscape @ 5x4”.  You will also need your basic tool kit, inks, a title, 2 different border punches (not deep ones), a stapler and a circle cutting system (to cut a circle about 7” in diameter).

We will be back scrapping in January, the week beginning the 6th, so keep an eye out for your email update with the new calendar.  Don't forget the Thursday workshop time change for next year to 1-3pm.

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and hopes for a fabulous 2014.

Happy Scrapping,
Mandy :-)

Next Week ... 9th December 2013

Good morning :-)

My goodness, isn't December racing by at lightning speed!!!  So much to do....so little time!

I had lots of fun making my Christmas banner with you all this week, I hope you did too!  I would love to see photos of them hanging up adding to your Christmas cheer :-)

Next Week's Workshop is ...

Sweet and Simple   $19

Thursday 9.30-11.30am

This cute one page layout is simple but oh so sweet!  With nice classic lines coupled with a little whimsy, rick rack and some machine stitching, you are going to love it. 

You will need 3 portrait photos @ 3x5”, you basic tool kit, inks, a title and a 1” circle punch.

Christmas Scrap'n'Roast   $30

15th December 12pm - midnight 

Come along on Sunday afternoon & evening for 12 hours of scrapping fun!  Don’t forget to wear your Christmas adornments!! We will start the day with a sausage sizzle @ 12 then get our Christmas scrapping hats on :-) Bring your photos & tools then crop the night away.  Included in this fun afternoon will be a mini workshop, the kit is included!  A roast hot from the Weber & salad will be served for dinner.  Softies are in the fridge and the kettle is always handy for a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate!  There are always nibbles on the table … and yes ... you might even get some scrapping done!!! 

So far bookings for the Christmas Scrap'n'Roast are not very going well and this yearly event is likely to be cancelled for the first time in 10 years :-( Such a shame that I have had to cancel previous Scrap'n'Roast's as well this year. Coupled with the cut down of workshops from 3 a week to 3 a fortnight because of dropping numbers, things are not looking so good for Made by Mandy Scrapbooking.  

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
