JUNE CLASSES

June is nearly upon us and I don't know where the other months have gone.
We are now having scrapbooking classes every Tuesday fortnight, to accomodate those who can't make it on a weekend.
Here are June's classes.....
Want to put a little bit of fun into your layouts? Come to this class and sam will help you create a fun layout that combines patterned papers with book paper. You'll also be making some 3D embellishments using stamps.
You'll be required to bring 1, 6x8 portrait photo.
Love learning new techniques to add some wow factors to your layouts? Well this is the class for you. Sam will take you on a journey teaching you how to make gorgeous paper roses to match your papers. Once you start you'll never stop.
Make sure to bring along your photos.
For all those card makers who have nowhere to put there cards, why not take this class and make a hard covered book to not only hold your cards, but will also have monthly pockets for birthday/anniversary reminders etc. Desleigh will show you how to use the Zutter machine and Binder to make this classic book that will also make a beautiful gift for someone who is hard to buy for. Just fill it up with your handmade cards, that's if you can part with it.

Please make sure you book into all classes as spots are limited.
We also have another MIDNIGHT CROP on Friday 25th from 7pm. It's a fun night with alot of laughter so if you missed out on the last one, make sure you get in early for this one.
BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL....

KEY RING HOLDER

I love making "off the page" items, and of course KaiserCraft have the best items around.
Always one for throwing my keys on the bakers stand and then rushing around every morning trying to find them, I decided to make myself a gorgeous birdhouse key ring holder.

Yes I was naughty and I didn't use kaisercraft papers. I used my second favourite papers by Basic Grey...they are bright and vibrant which I felt reflected my personality.
To adhere the papers in place I used pritt powergel glue stick. I am not one for tracing around each peice, cutting it out and then sticking it in place. I glue all over then place the paper over the top then cut around the edge with my knife. Of course I have inked all the edges with jumbo java brown ink. I think I'm going through a brown stage as I am inking everything with brown.
But in the end, the result is just beautiful. I enjoy hanging my keys up when I walk through the door and even more so when I can find them in the mornings.
Happy scrapping.....
