Long awaited classes...

Has it really been that long since I posted? Scary.... we've had an eventful couple of weeks, but that is what you get in life sometimes!!! Never a dull moment, that is for sure.

First up - some new classes for the next little while - those of you keen on my Beginners Scrapping Class, I think it is time for adding to that. Some of you at the last one are keen to come again, and we will build on what we did last time. If you missed it, I am sure you will be able to catch up, and I can give you the notes I handed out last time. This time, we will be using the Stampin' Up! simply scrapping kits to make a 12x12 page for $10. This includes all materials. It will be Thursday night 5th June at 7:30pm - let me know if you can come at cherylandrews@optusnet.com.au and I will book you in. Bring some photos, but I recommend you bring black and white to make sure your shots don't clash with the kits I have on hand. More than one photo is fine for a 12x12 page.

Second up - a Stamp-a-Stack Class, where we will make 6 cards for $12 - 2 designs, 3 of each- or 10 cards for $20 - 2 designs, 5 of each. For you budget concious people out there, yes, the price has gone up, but the price per card is only 33c extra, and we are making extra cards for your stash.... Book in now for Wednesday 11th June, 7:30pm, at cherylandrews@optusnet.com.au. Let me know how many cards you want to make when you book in....

Now for a pretty picture... or 2!

This is one of the projects we made at the Idea Book and Catalogue launch on the 2nd May. It is a square notebook mounted inside a really cute cover made with the new In-Colour range - in particular, Purely Pomegranate card stock, ink and double stitched ribbon, Groovy Guava card stock and double stitched ribbon, and river rock ink and double stitched ribbon. The stamp set is Baroque Motifs, and the Baroque Border standard wheel is rolled in the background. A pewter brad from the Hodgepodge Hardware kit, and a pewter Jumbo Eyelet set with the new Crop-o-dile tool complete the project, along with a hinged ring bought from a newsagency to tie the 3 colours of ribbon onto. The Scalloped circle punch and one and three eighths inch circle punch were used to embellish the bottom right corner.

This cute gift bag is made from a Whisper White C6 envelope. It isstamped with another of the new in-colours - Soft Sky - using the Baroque motifs set again. The Scalloped Circle punch, one and three eighths inch, one and a quarter inch and three quarter inch circle punches in Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Whisper White and Soft Sky again respectively create the monogrammed centrepiece, with the glittered 'C' stamped in Chocolate Chip with the Short Order Alphabet set. The topper is Chocolate Chip cardstock, set with eyelets and tied shut with Chocolate Chip Tafetta ribbon.
