New stock for January

Just arrived in today we have more of the gorgeous new dew drop inks in the yummiest colours ranging from soft gelati style colours such as key lime and pixie pink to warm autumn tones such as cosmic copper and spiced pumpkin. There are also a restock of some of the best selling colors including white, silver and gold. Also after a long wait we finally have the coluzzle starter kits and templates in circles and ovals. One of my favourite items that arrived is the {CREATE} wall words, perfect for your little corner of the world (your scrappin space), these can be decorated in so many ways from being covered in patterned paper, painted, stamped on or even just left plain white and dressed up with a few ribons and flowers, a great way to lay claim to your spot and they are only $15.00 a kit. Our shop one will be up soon so I'll post some pictures. Another great arrival is the chatterbox courtyard kit (lovely, contains enough ribbon, flowers papers, sticker, bling and embellishment for several pages or a small album all for only $20.70). We also have some of the doodle genies from Chatterbox (will be used in an upcoming class so keep your eyes out for that one.) and restocks of the making memories foam stamps in many styles and the new philladelphia set.

January's card class

Two 'just for you' cards (this message can be changed to suit the occasion) 1valentine card and 1 thank you card using various stamping techniques including masking and selective coloring.

Under the sun

O.K. We're back from our enjoyable Christmas break and ready to get back into the swing of things. We hope you enjoyed your Christmas and New year. The first class for the year is 'Under the sun', using the newest papers from ScrapbookingAustralia, chipboard and stamping.

Chatterbox

Wednesday nights class using the gorgeous chatterbox papers.

Photo tip for November...

Read your manual. It may not the most thrilling of reads but you can only take better photos knowing all the functions of your camera. It will tell you exactly what your camera is and isn't capable of and you might find yourself really surprised at just what it can do. Even the most basic digital point and shoot usually has a lot of functions such as white balance control that will alter how your photos look. You will also find out things such as your cameras focal length ( how far or close you have to be to an object to get a clear photo) So grab yourself a cuppa and sit down and read all you can.

Altered monograms

We will be creating this page using the gorgeous chatterbox range of papers and two different monograms. We will be using the monograms U and R but the other stamped words are your own choice. The photo size is 5"X7"

Magnetic memories

This Wednesday nights magnetic memories class. Four mini layouts to display on your fridge. These would make a lovely gift for someone this Christmas or to decorate your own fridge with.

We're excited...

To be one of the first stores in Australia to stock the new range of 'Under the sun' papers from Scrapbooking Australia. Tanya and Sue (me) had a quick trip to Adelaide yesterday to attend a retailers workshop and an exclusive preview of the products, and let me say they are gorgeous. So bright and fresh, very summery.
The following are a few samples and sample layouts from the line, the colors don't look as good on the web but take our word for it they are lovely, so come in and have a look.

The three of us...

It's always nice to put a face to a name so here we are Donna(left), Tanya and Sue.
And yes the photo is a little out of focus, that' what you get when you and the photographer

get the giggles.
