Children's Craft Classes

A huge thank you to Wellington Point Traders Association and Buzz Creation Event Coordination for organising such a fabulous children's holiday program it is a shame the wet weather put a stop to the outdoor activities. To all the children who attended my craft classes last week I thank you all for being so lovely and what a busy but wonderful time we had despite the wet weather. A special Thank You to Mr Cold Rock Cold Rock Wellington Point for the special delivery of waffles and icecream to our classroom.

Scrapbooking Retreat - Cleveland 20 - 22 July 2012



Wouldn't you just love to get away on a wonderful weekend scrapbooking with your friends and making new acquaintances, sharing your love of scrapbooking and papercrafts, learning new techniques and taking home some special moments and gorgeous scrapbooking layouts and projects?

There just doesn't seem to be enough time during the day with families and work for you to enjoy scrapping when you want to, so we would love you to come along and join us on a two or three day weekend and just scrap. Why not spoil yourself with some "me time" and perhaps indulge in some pampering as well with a massage/reflexology session.
Fantastic fun, lots of laughs and inspiration galore is what you will experience at one of our Retreats. A shop is available on site for you to purchase your staple supplies, and there are lots of challenges and prizes to be won. You will definitely go home with lots of ideas and enthusiasm to continue your creativity at home and count down the days when you can come along to our next Retreat.

Queensland Scrapbooking Retreats organises events which are held within the South East Queensland area, usually no more than about two hours travel by car from Brisbane.

There are still places available ...I am teaching a class at the retreat and would love to see you there

For more Information on the July retreat click HERE


ETA - This retreat has been cancelled due to lack of attendees ...bookings for Noosa are being taken

Mini Album - Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo

Firstly i would like to thank everyone who did my class over the weekend you were all so lovely and i do hope you enjoyed creating your mini album and that you have selected your photos to fill your album with.


As promised here are the photos and quick instructions











Materials
Teresa Collins; Sweet Afternoon Papers, Die Cuts and Brads
Couture Creations; Adalyn Flowers, Glitzin Glamour Glitter Glue
Country Blessings; Paper Flowers, Pearl and Feather Sprig, Jewel Sprig, Tulle, Seam Binding Ribbon
Martha Stewart; Daisy Fan Punch, Doily Lace Punch
We R Memory Keepers; Crop-a-dile

Instructions

  1. Cover - cut patterned paper 2 x  10.5" x 6"  (26.5cm x 15cm) then cut a triangle to make your pennant shape (this should be no more than 4" (10cm) deep from corner to middle otherwise your inside pages will stick out.)
  2. Inside Pocket Page -  cut patterned paper 12" x 6" (30cm x 15cm) fold in half and cut a half circle on the top front of pocket only then tape to close.
  3. Inside Pages - cut remaining patterned paper 7.5" x 6" (18.5cm x 15cm)
  4. Arrange your 6 inside pages + pocket  how you would like them in your album and using a crop-a-dile punch your holes and attach your binder rings.
  5. attach tab die cuts to all 6 single pages - stagger these down i adhered them to the back of the pages.
  6. Decorate your front cover using a 1" (2.5cm) strip of patterned paper adhere it to bottom, adhere the die cut border using foam tape, twist your pearl and feather sprigs together and cut the stem down to size and adhere to cover , cut stems of three lg pink flowers and cut a flower out of a piece of tulle make a cluster with them and adhere to cover, place a brad through a die cut tag and attach putting the brad through the tag only do not punch a hole through the cover.
  7. Using your die cuts, brads, pattern papers off cuts, punches and tulle and ribbon you can decorate your pages as you like or you can copy my pages.
  8. Finish off by tying seam binding ribbon and tulle to the middle ring of the album and apply glitter glue to accent your flowers and embellishments.
Tips -
Cut the jewel sprigs into three instead of using as one sprig.
Cut down your small flowers so they are not as bulky in your album being careful not to cut them down too much that they fall apart.
Pull the center from the white flower and add a brad instead.
Create a tulle ruffle by placing a strip of doublesided tape on a page and just pleat the tulle as you place it along.
Make your own pennants from your patterned paper off cuts

Mini Albums are great for special occasion photos or to give as gifts to friends and family with special photos in them.

Scrapbook Creations have limited kits available so if you would like to purchase a $20 kit (they have approx $40 retail worth of product in them) contact Cheryl
