An Introduction to Scrapbooking

Hello! Starting on Monday 31st october we will be holding an Introduction to Scrapbooking class. This runs for 6 weeks and will cost $20 per week or $90 if you book and pay for the whole 6 weeks. Classes start promptly at 6.30pm and run for 2 hours.

For the $90 you will receive:

1.  A great Teacher - Jenny
2. All products needed to complete the class. The only exception is the colour matching class as you will need to choose papers to match your photo. That week you will receive a $10 credit for the store.
3. Use of all tools. After the first week you will need to bring your own adhesive.

See below a sneak peek of the classes - full layouts can be viewed in the shop.

At the end of the 6 weeks you will be able to:

• Feel confident to make your own embellishments
• Know about various adhesives and tools
• Make beautiful flowers
• Use brads 
• Faux stitch
• make bunting
• colour wood with ink
• ink edges
• distress papers
• match photos to papers
• use rub ons

If you live outside of Geraldton but would like to follow these classes - it is possible as a take away class. And you are welcome to join us even if you have scrapped before.

New: Prima Sampler Kits

Sometimes (actually quite often!) a customer will come and in and have a very hard time choosing between collection especially as most of us need to stick to a budget. So I decided to split up 4 of the new Prima Paper Pads and flowers and made the sampler packs. The Romantique, Alla Prima and Londonerry are $5.25 each and the North Country one is $6.99 (this one includes a couple of the new Ceramic tiles as well). I have only made a limited amount of each so you need to be quick if you would like one.

Each pack contains 16 sheets of 6x6" patterned paper (single sided) and 1/3 pack of flowers.

Christmas is just around the corner!

Hi it's Jen here, I hope I didn't shock you with that comment, but with November fast approaching, it really is just around the corner.  That means if you make your own Christmas cards and haven't done so yet, it is time to get  moving!

I have made all of the beautiful cards below (34) in total, all from one kaiser  6 1/2" paper pad. These pads are great for card making as all pages are colour matched and they also come with die cut shapes and pages that can be used for embellishments. They are sold in store for only $10.99. The collection I have used is called  "the silly season" and it is gorgeous. The only extras  I have used are white card, one  piece of paper also from the same collection called "milk and cookies" and essentials such as double sided tape, a stamp, mounting foam and ink! 

Everything can be bought in store. Using the paper pad makes handmade cards very affordable. Once you have finished your cards we would love to see what you have come up with, so post a pic on our FB page and show us how creative you are ;)   And don't stop at Christmas cards, we have oodles of paper pads to choose from, you are only limited by your imagination, let it soar!

Have you seen the beautiful new collection Alla Prima?
prima describes it as "A painterly anthology of flowers expressed in a refreshing mix of summer hues." and I couldn't agree with them more! This collection might be one of my new favourites....
