Scrapbooking Evening Class Starting TODAY

Hi there everybody!

It has been some time since the last post and there is a reason for it - I had a little break and visited family in Namibia. It was great to be there, meeting family I haven´t known before and spending some quality time with my little one...

...well I hope those recharged Batteries of mine will last again for a long time and off we go starting our

NEW EVENING SCRAPBOOKING CLASS TODAY

Thursday 7th May at 7pm at the shop

Directions to get there: Travel outside Hout Bay towards Constantia Nek. We are at the little Shopping Center called Oakhurst Farmpart - next to Kwikspar and Scarcrows Family Coffeeshop!

Hope to see you there!

NEW EVENING: 7pm (beginner) / 7.30pm (advanced) till 10pm with Mandy
This is a new class starting out now this week for all who cannot make it in the mornings.
Mandy will help you to get started into scrapbooking and teaches you the basics as well as supports the more advanced scrapbookers with ideas and inspiration!

Mandy will bring along a layout for the evening which can be used for all kinds of themes (mothersday - family  - children). She calls it her P.O.Box - Page.... 
As it is the very first class with her please bring some photos of your loved ones and Mandy will explain and show you the idea behind this page - I am sure you will like it!

As this class will run not during regular shop opening hours BOOKING is ESSENTIAL. Please book in the shop for this class and leave your contact details in order for us to confirm the class on the day (as we need a minimum of participants).
Costs will be R 100 for advanced and R 150 for beginners (as they will also have more time for some extra introduction).

GET CRAFTY FOR MOTHERS DAY on Saturday 10th of April

We will offer 2 workshops on this saturday - in the mornings one workshop aimed for teenager and the afternoon for adults or moms and daughters.


Teenager 10am - 12pm:
Children / Teenager  (9yrs and older) will make a "scrapped" photo holder which makes also a nice gift for Mothers Day. It is a cute project with a nice product at the end of the class.
Costs for Material R 70 plus teacher

Adults or Moms and daughters 2 pm - 4pm:

With a printers tray blank as your starting point you will make and scrap a "memory box" which makes a nice gift especially now maybe for mothersday (what to give moms who have got EVERYTHING - think handmade!)

If you want to use it for a mothers day present we recommend to bring along:

- photographs of your mother  / family
- memorabilias (small items that have a meaning for you. This could be little things like i.e. an entrance ticket, a piece of fabric, a broche, hair pin, poem or whatever will show a link between you and your mother)


In case mothers day is not your piece of cake you can alternatively make a beach scene tray. Here is some inspiration... - bring some shells, sand, cord - whatever you want to have in your personal piece of art!

Upcoming Classes...

Now with the Easter holidays I wanted to let you know about the current classes and those we plan to run!

Tuesday Morning Scrapbooking Group:

During the holidays there will be no classes on tuesday mornings as Kim is in Australia

Thursday Morning Scrapbooking Group:

Even though Kim is in Australia sourcing the latest Kaisercraft goodies for us :-) we will run the classes as normal.

Kim organised that Karen will run the classes on thursday for her.

Karen has got years of scrapbooking experience herself and she knows Kim and her style for a long time. 

I am sure she will enjoy it as much with you "regular" ladies :-) to meet all of you from 9 to 12 and create more stunning pages!!!
