April Classes 2012

I hope you are all getting into the Easter spirit by eating hot crossed buns and buying up Easter eggs for your loved ones. Make sure you take some photos over the Easter weekend so you can scrap them at our next classes!

Class #1. 14th & 21st April 9:00am - 11:00am
I have designed a double-page sketch & have teamed it with 2 interpretations of that sketch to help you create a striking layout. For this month's kit I have used some gorgeous Ruby Rockit paper that could be catered to many themes. My page is titled Nature, but there are lots of choices on the Geographically Speaking Cricut Cartridge. Teacher: Stacey

Class + kit

Class #2. 14th & 21st April 11:30am - 1:30pm
Have you ever wondered what the Cricut Gypsy can do? This class will provide you with a kit of cardstocks, patterned papers and pre-cut embellishments from the Cricut Gypsy to make two unique single pages. The page themes are Easter and Love, there is a choice between 'earthy' or 'brights' for the Easter page. Please specify when booking in. Teacher: Stacey

Class #3. 14th & 21st April 2:00pm - 4:00pm
This month we are linking in to a current scrapbooking trend and incorporating a chevron pattern onto our pages. We will make a double page layout and make a large, three layered chevron pattern to be used on both pages. I have used photos from a summer holiday as the colour scheme is bright and summery, but it would suit many themes. Teacher: Philarney

Scrap for Yaz

Philarney and I attended Scrap for Yaz today, it was nice to see some familiar faces there. We had a great time decorating journals for this special cause. All journals and adhesives were provided, there were heaps of embellishments and letters to choose from, they even fed us and gave out lucky door prizes! We will definitely be attending the next one. Here are some photos of the day...
 

Scrapbooking Camp

We can't believe already been a week and a half since our Scrapbooking Camp! What a great weekend it was, everyone scrapped their hearts out. Thanks to all the attendees who made it a success. We have decided to run a second camp this year, it will be 26th-28th October 2012. More details will be released as soon as they are confirmed. Hope you can make it :)

March Class #1

The kits for Stacey's March class have sold out. However there is still room in the class for you to come and bring your own materials. Class only is $15.

Camp

It is finally here - camp time has come around again!

Just like last time, we know it will be a relaxing weekend of scrapbooking and socialising.

We have a fun challenge planned, some great prizes and freebies organised and of course Lee's beautiful food!

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Photography tips

We all know that photos are integral to our craft. And one thing that can elevate our pages from good to great are the photographs that we add.

I am constantly trying to take that elusive perfect shot - the one that captures the atmosphere of a place, the mood of the moment or the personalities of the people I am celebrating.

If you are like me and are searching for ways to improve your photos to add some wow factor and extra interest to your pages, this article featured in the Creating Keepsakes September 2010 issue, is a great way to start inspiring you to do just that.

I hope you enjoy!

Class #1. 17th & 24th March 9:00am - 11:00am
I have designed a double-page sketch & have teamed it with 2 interpretations of that sketch to help you create a striking layout. One layout has a 'Good Times' theme which is pretty versatile & the second layout is all about the growing boy. Each layout features 2 large photos & 4 smaller shots. I have used Kaiser Craft's On the Move collection for this month's kit.

Class #2. 17th & 24th March 11:30am - 1:30pm
This layout gives you the chance to use a panoramic or series of photos. This leaves the theme open: you could use multiple landscape photos, a sequence of photos or even before & after shots. We will use stamping to update leftover letters & add a digital journaling card to the page. Also, embellishments for the page can be altered to suit whatever theme you choose.

Class #3. 17th & 24th March 2:00pm - 4:00pm
This class is focusing on using the Cricut for creating & embellishing a double-page layout. It has a large photo & title on one page for dramatic impact. ‘Celebrate’ is the title, which suits a multitude of themes & a sub-title is added to the layout to personalise your layout. Kit choices are pink & green with hearts -or- red, white, blue & stars. Please specify when booking.

18th February Classes Sold Out!

Hello!
The classes being held on 18th February are fully booked. If you are still interested in attending any of the February classes, Saturday 25th February is still available. Thanks all and see you soon.

Desktop Wallpaper

I love changing my desktop wallpaper. I usually do this once a month and I found this great link: http://www.visualswirl.com/freebies/desktop-wallpapers-calendar-february-2012/

On a Mac all you have to do is right click on the wallpaper and click on 'set as background'. Not sure if you can do that on a PC, but you can right click on the wallpaper and click on 'save image as'. Then set the wallpaper as your desktop through your control panel.

Ribbon Storage

I don't know about you, but I always wonder if I'm storing my scrapbooking supplies the best way possible. I started to look around at ribbon storage in particular and found that there are so many different storage options, here are some I found:

I use a large glass jar like the above photo, this works well for me as I have lots of 1 metre and under lengths. I have recently started buying ribbon spools and will have to make a storage decision pretty soon!
