One Month Down

2012-01-28T09:59:00.000+09:30

Hi all well the first month of 2012 is almost gone, and we also have had our first getaway for the year. We spent 3 very enjoyable day scrapping cardmaking and of course talking, some even fitted in a spot of shopping as Target has some great specials. All the challenges were fantastic and we had so many entries in each one. We had a scrap challenge creating using scraps/recycled products. Congrats to all the winners and to all that entered all pages were stunning.

JO Class Monday the 28th

2011-11-26T22:49:00.000+09:30

Hi everyone,

Here is Monday nights class! All you'll need in particular for this
class will be your general toolkit and a piece of sandpaper.

However, if you are willing and have one (or a few) embossing folders
that you have been itching to break in, please - bring them along! (Just
be sure to put your name on them so we don't get them mixed up).

The photos used on this layout are very easy - you'll need about 5-6
photos each measuring no larger that approximately 2.5 x 2.5 inches
(about a quarter the size of a regular 6x4 inch photo). However, you
don't need them to complete the layout.

Hope to see you there!

Jo's Class - Mon 11th April - 7pm

2011-03-23T09:16:00.002+09:30

Hi everyone! This is my next class coming up on Monday the 11th of April at 7pm. Unfortunately, This will be my last class until the second half of the year, so I would love to see you there!

You'll only need a very basic toolkit for this class - although there are tools at the shop to use, its quicker when you have your own.

We'll be playing with watercolours and colour pencils, so feel free to bring along any watercolours, pencils or even Twinkling H20's or similar along. Again, there will be supplies at the shop to play with if you don't have any of your own. If you have any Jumbo Rollagraph stamps (the ones on a wheel), I would love it if you could bring them along too.

You'll be able to pick the colour scheme yourself, so the theme is very open. Each layout uses 2 4x6 photos.

Monday 21st Class

2011-03-19T13:11:00.002+09:30

Hi everyone! my apologies for being so late with this one! Just a quick note for this class - although the design of the layout won't change between now and then, there may be some extra bits by the time you see it on Monday night! :D

We are using Kylie's gorgeous trim during this class, along with some metallic pens and cut-away features!

You'll need photos to cover and area of 8 inches wide and 12 inches high, but keep in mind there is a cut 2 inches from the left side to account for the two pages.

Other than that, you will need your usual toolkit, including a black inkpad. If you have metallic inkpads and gel pens as well, bring them along too! If not, there will be some at class to use, but having your own will help you to complete on the night.

Jo's Class - Monday 28th February

2011-02-23T11:20:00.003+09:30

Hi all!

The first of my classes for this year is a school themed class. While there are three layouts, this class is designed to get class photos onto layouts. Whether you choose to make three different layouts, or the same layout three times - the choice is up to you.

One layout is designed for if you have 1 child, one layout is for if you have 2 children and one layout for three children. If you have more than three children we can make that work too!

All you need to bring along is your usual toolkit - trimmer, scissors, pencils etc - plus a black inkpad.

The photos are the standard ones from school portraits which are:
Layout One: (One child)
One 5 x 7 inch photo.

Layout Two: (Two children)
One 6 1/2 x 5 inch photo
Two 2 x 3 inch photo.

Layout Three: (Three children)
One 7 x 5 inch photo
Three 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 inch photos.

Hope to see you there!

Jo

Monday (AM & PM) Class - 5/12/10

2010-12-03T10:48:00.004+09:30

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the lateness of this - I just assumed that I had put it up on the blog already!

You will need to bring a black inkpad, and while the class can be completed without photos, it would be easier to have them.
Photo sizes:
Layout 1: two 3 x 2 ½ inches; one 5 x 3 ½ inches
Layout 2: six 2 ¾ x 2 ¾ inches.

Hope to see you there!

Jo

Fridays Class

2010-10-12T11:58:00.004+09:30

Hi everyone,

Here is friday's class! You'll need eight 4x4 inch photos. If you have some decorative scissors (mainly a scallop, a fancy small edge and a zig zag) and threading water punch, it would be great to have a few extras to help us get through the layout!

Hi all the new stock is starting to flow in again and as usual is going very quickly, the new Kaiser ranges Le Chateau and Konstrukt are on the shelf and the Kaiser Craft free workshop magazines are here. New stock should arrive again next week and its a bit of a mystery as when the computer got stolen it had all the pre orders in it so now unsure what ones have just been sent so will be very exciting next week to get them.

2010-04-13T07:54:00.001+09:30

Hi! Here's a picture of Monday's class - I apologise the photos are atrocious, but you get the idea. If you do want to see them in real life first, they'll be in the shop this afternoon. I have used two 6x8 inch photos, but this class is really flexible, so just bring aling any size photos that you think will suit. Other than that, all you'll need is your usual toolkit, including a black and brown inkpad.

See you monday!

New Challenges in the Forum

2009-06-16T15:01:00.003+09:30

It appears that over recent months the Stamp Craft forum has become very
quiet and very slow.

I have been busy making changes to the forum and have even added in some new challenges. New prompts have been added to the Book of Me also. Come and have some fun and be inspired. Who knows what you might win along the way.

Some new fun games will be happening in the upcoming weeks too. So watch this space.

So come on over the Stamp Craft forum and join in all the fun.

Here is a sneak of one of the new challenges called Colour Combos.

http://www.qbaroo.com/cosmocricket/main.cfm?categoryoid=1&productoid=29

If you could also bring along your toolkit (trimmer, scissors, craft knife, pencils, rulers), a brown inkpad (I used pinecone versacube) and your preferred distressing tool.
For adhesives, you will need regular double sided tape, some acid free glue (helmars acid free or tombow monon would be fine) and some pop dots or magic mount. Actually, quite a few of those pop dots. :)

The layout will be in the shop as of Tuesday some time, so you can go check it out then!

Holiday Class - 9th January - Animal bracelet!

2009-01-01T15:36:00.003+09:30

1st December - Home

2008-11-29T10:41:00.003+09:30

Just a smidgen late on this one - sorry!

The theme of this class is home - simple title, so really adaptable. My layout will be about the different homes we have lived in, but you could also do: the things that make your house a home, home is where the heart is, favourite things about your home, home renovations etc. etc.

You will need 4 6x4 photos - landscape orientation (wider than they are high). However, these are laid out in a block measuring 12x8 inches - so if you have more photos to fit on, ifyou make sure that they cover that area, it will still work. Another note - I completed my layout without photos, so if you don't have them with you on Monday, it can be done.

If you have a fiskars threading water punch and/or a pair of scallop scissors, could you please bring them along? If not, as usual there will be a set for class use. You will also need a small black inkpad and your usual tools - trimmer, scissors, craft knife, preferred adhesive and foam dots.

Hope to see you there!

2008-11-10T07:50:00.003+09:30

This is it! Last 3 in 30! We'll be working with bleach, so you'll need to bring a 6x4 photo that you don't mind playing with - a duplicate or a misprint would be fine. Hope to see you there!

3 in 30 - Vellum - 8th November

2008-11-03T13:56:00.003+09:30

If you have them, could you please bring along 2 complimentary colours of distress inks. You'll also need a 6x4 photo. Hope to see you there!

3 in 30 Layout class - 17th November

2008-11-03T13:44:00.002+09:30

Hi all! This is my next class - a layout using some of the techniques we've used during the 3 in thirty classes on a Saturday morning. So, if you haven't been able to make it on Saturdays now is your chance to come on a Monday night and learn a few new techniques. Or, if you have been coming every week, this is a good chance to apply some of those techniques!

Due to this class being chock ful of techniques, it is only a single layout, but there is instructions for another single layout included. You'll need to bring along a single 6x4 photo, with a landscape orientation. It's a pretty open theme; mine is a baby theme layout, but you could definitely adapt it to a birthday or celebration; or anything really. Hope to see you there!

3 in 30 - November 1st - Foam Stamps

2008-10-27T11:46:00.002+09:30

If you have a set of either:

Making Memories Foam stamps Floral Dingbat
(here: http://www.scrap-n-crop.com/webshaper/pcm/pictures/Making%20Memories/FoamStamps0001_1_n.jpg )

or

Making Memories Basic Shapes
(here: http://img.thefind.com/images/jQAlzLENwjAQAEAXrON8gqgoU9BZQkpDh17G2A7Yfv0_yiZZIVOxC5G4AW773sbVrOa6HYxnfOpdPkTvHMQkVToDLMvSzY0fWAkpMLJK51sBF9gnrHqEyEgpe4H-b4ChPwFhrgoOX7lG60JpvKf20rDYSbGQ2BElezulvZVupmh-?m=1&g=2)

could you pretty please bring them along? The more we have the faster it will go.

You will also need to bring along two complementary colours of Distress inks - I've used Broken China and Peeled Paint. Any two colours that will mix well. Bring along one or two browns as well if you have them.

Stamp Craft is taking a leap into the online world and will begin online challenges. Yep you heard right online challenges.

Kicking off on the 29 August will be Blind Scrapping. What is Blind Scrapping you ask??

Blind scrapping is giving a list of instructions but without any photos for example. You then create your layout how you interpret and you will be in the running for a fantastic prize.

Blind Scrapping is just the start of many more exciting online challenges to come. So watch this space.

Delicious Dyes

2008-08-04T15:16:00.003+09:30

Hi all! This is Jo, just sharing the next class with you! This one is on the 25th of August, three weeks from now on a Monday night. Just for a change, this class is a single layout, where we'll be playing with dye! Mostly, ayway. there's some paint, and some stamping and soem sewing too. So while it's only a single layout, there are about 5 or 6 techniques that we'll be doing! And the best part is that while my layout is blue, you can do yours in almost any colour you like - blue, green, red, yellow or pink! You need to bring with you 3 small photos - mine are 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 square. Also, if you have a brown ink pad (Amanda, I used the pinecone brown verscube ;) ) in your general toolkit, bring it along as well.

UPDATE

2008-07-28T12:04:00.002+09:30

Well what a great show day we had here 12 hour scrap 20 very enthusiastic scrappers, not all made it till midnight but it was a great day. We will be having more of these so keep your eye on the calender.

The Getaway is only 2 weeks away 30 are down so far we are close to full so if you were thinking of coming get in quick.

We have KI Memories Bloom range in and on the shelf lots of lace papers which have a lovely shimmer to them and the embellishments to go with it.

Tall and Skinny: Monday 21st July Class

2008-07-18T23:02:00.003+09:30

Finally - a picture of the class!! This is the next class that I (Jo) am doing on Monday the 21st of July. Which is next week!! So, here are the details you'll need.

This is a class with 12 layouts. Yes, 12. And now that you have picked yourself up off the floor, I will tell you they are all 6x12 inches! I thought we could have a bit of fun, and do a heap of layouts in this popular alternative size. During the class, I'll also be showing you a great way to incorporate them into your 12x12 albums. Otherwise, these would look great bound into a mini-album!

You will need to think about your theme before the class, and bring photos accordingly. As you can see in the pic, mine doesn't include photos yet, so it can also be done most of the way without. My theme is "10 Things I love about You"; but you could also have a list of any 10 things - e.g. "10 Years of You" with corresponding photos; "10 favourite things"; "10 pieces of random advice"; anything really, it just needs to be a list of 10 things.

Photos:
(number of photos) width by height

(1) 5 x 4 inches
(1) 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches
(1) 6 x 4 inches
(1) 6 x 4 inches
(1) 4 x 6 inches
(1) 6 x 4 inches
(1) 2 x 5 inches
(1) 6 x 4 inches
(3) 2 x 2 inches
(2) 2 x 5 inches
(1) 6 x 4 inches

As always, these are pretty flexible, so these measurements are only a guide!

Happy New Year

Hi all Happy New Year hope you all had a great Christmas and celebrated the New year with Family and Friends. I know i did and my throat is still trying to recover. Well here we are in 2008 and lots of exciting things in the pipeline, January is always a slow month in the shop which gives me time to plan and of course clean up. I must say a huge THANKYOU to Cindy who decided it was time to organise and clean up the shop and she has done amazing things she even got Rhonda there to help (Rhonda is much like me its easier to ignore it) but no Cindy inspired us to both get off our behinds and clean up, we managed to fill the skip bin out the back its amazing what rubbish you stash away. So thankyou to Cindy and Rhonda and Fay who happened to visit in the middle and also got roped in. We are in the middle of Kids holiday programme at the moment Fay RHonda and Myself are taking the classes we have card classes off the page projects and pages.

I am still waiting on some stock the Crafters doodling templates etc i have part paid for them so hopefully they will arrive soon, there is and embargo on freigt through fed ex which is causing the problems for all the wholesalers as the stock is stuck. Keep our fingers crossed.

Adult classes are set up to the end of February and are filling fast, we have a 12 hour coming up on Sunday 27th January the 28th is a public holiday book in early.

Well we had a great day yesterday for our Christmas Sunday Fun Day, 17 ladies and about 15 PAWA men, do we know how to do it or what. Yes we started the day with no power but we sent Tracey on the job and she came back with more than enough men to fix the job for us and they bent over backwards to fix our problem. Then Santa arrived and handed out pressies to all here i will hopefully have the photos on the blog today as well. We had so much food we had to all be rolled out the door at 5pm. Alissa came for the day and it was great to see her looking so well. I would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year lets hope next year doesnt go as quick as this year has.
