So Tweet Scrap Class

Hello!

Sorry for being MIA for so long. My computer died last week. Well, hubby said the powerboard died...he actually said it was smoking. I must have given it a real run for its money eh?

Anyway, now I'm personal 'puter-less. I've been using hubby's machine, but none of my stuff is on it. All my site passwords were stored on the other machine. All my photos, templates, my calendar - my life (BOO HOO) etc...and besides, he is always wanting this one back at inopportune times...so I'm feeling kinda adrift, IYKWIM? On the bright side, I have read a number of books in the mean time. I'm getting to be quite the Clive Cussler fan. But I digress...

I just wanted to let you know about a Scrapbooking class that I will be holding at my place soon. Here are the details:

SO TWEET SCRAP CLASS

DATE: Saturday 20th June
TIME: 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
WHERE: Canberra (southside) - my place
WHAT: A class where we will make one 12 x 12 scrapbook page, using techniques such as: applying DSP and ink to chipboard, stitching, tearing, and paper piecing. The page will have room for one 6 x 4 (or smaller) portrait orientation photograph which you can attach after the class. There will also be space for journalling on a concealed slider panel.
COST: $16 per person covers all materials, including SNAIL adhesive and afternoon tea.

If you are interested drop me a line on navarino@yahoo.com and I'll save you a seat. The image at the top of the post is a little look at what you'll be doing.

Ok...gotta run.

Hope you are well...and staying warm.....BBBBBBBrrrrrrrrr its cold here today.

Christmas Card Class Card...

Here is one of the cards we made at my Wednesday night card class, an origami Christmas Tree card:



I first saw the instructions on how to make these origami Christmas trees on Juliann's blog Pixie Too, but I was inspired to use our Wintergreen DSP when I saw this card on Michele Force's blog.

The cardstock colours used are: Always, Artichoke, Soft Sky, and Whisper White. I have also used Wintergreen DSP; Soft Sky, Always Artichoke and Versamark inks; Stampin' Up!'s small star punch; gold brads; Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon (for the tree trunk); stamps from the Many Merry Messages and Short and Sweet stamp sets; the retired Twinkle wheel and the Linen background stamp....and that's about it (except of course for SNAIL adhesive and a whole bunch of dimensionals [I hate it when my raised layers sag.......there will be no sagging I say!]).

I love how this card turned out :-).

Thanks for dropping by...again!
Sam.

Christmas Card Class Tonight...

...Just a little reminder that I have a Christmas card class tonight (Wednesday 24th September) at my home in south Canberra.

We will be making two Christmas cards using different techniques, including paper folding and masking. The class starts at 7:30pm and costs $10 per person (refundable if you place a Stampin' Up! order of $100 or more with me on the night).

The cost includes all the materials you will need for the two cards (including envelopes and a sample sheet for your technique journal) and a light supper (which includes the chocolate cake I just pulled out of the oven ;-).

I have a couple of places free tonight (maximum group size is 6 people), so if you are interested in joining us, please send me an email at: navarino@yahoo.com and I will get back to you.

Here is a teensie pic of one of the cards we will be making tonight...just to whet your appetite.



Have a lovely day (isn't the weather in the ACT beautiful today :-)!
Sam.
