December is upon us!!

Well, December is upon us and hasn't 2012 flown by!!! Escape the stress, by joining me for a class. I'm only doing papercraft classes this month as there is so much to do with Christmas upon us!! Here's the timetable for December, and you can get more information by clicking on the 'home classes' tab up the top.

Our '25 Days of Christmas' mini album class series started last night, and we had so much fun!! We have a lovely bunch of ladies working on this album, and there is still enough supplies for 1 more person, if you'd still like to join us - i can arrange a separate class to catch you up on what you have missed :D I've been busy working on next week's class today and it's looking fab - i'm so excited!!

I've added a new class to the calendar this month, and i think it's going to excite you!!! Stampin' Up! have a fabulous range of scrapbooking kits called 'Simply Scrappin' Kits' (pages 167-8 in the catalogue) and i'd love to walk you through them!! I'll be selecting 1 kit each month and creating lovely layouts based on these kits!!! I couldn't resist starting with the "Pinwheels on Parade" kit this month as it's just such a lovely kit, with elements such as pinwheels, banners and artisan tags, which are just a few of my favourite things in scrapbooking right now!! 

You can choose from the 'budget' kit, which is $20 and is a half kit, or the 'spare no expense' kit, which is the whole kit and $40 for the class - i will be teaching both classes at the same time and there will be enough to create what i show you in class from both kits, but the 'spare no expense' kit will give you more leftovers to play with when you get home :D

If you'd like to join me for this class (Monday 17th Dec 7:30-10pm) you'll need to let me know by 10th Dec AT THE LATEST so that i can order enough for the class!!

Enjoy perusing the timetable and deciding which class you want to do - or book in for all of them!!

25 Days of Christmas Mini Album Classes

Hello to my lovely crafty friends!!

Have you ever wanted to do a '25 days of Christmas' mini album and just didn't know where to start, or have you started one and not finished it, so therefore you don't want to start another?

This year i'm going to be running a series of workshops to put together a '25 days of Christmas' mini album. I've done one the last 2 years, and it's a fabulous keepsake, especially capturing all the little things that the kids say and do and traditions that you are developing in your family.

The workshops would be in my Springfield home at the same time once a week from the last week in November to the first week in January (excluding the week of Christmas), so we can start the album early and put the finishing touches on it in Jan!! I'm thinking a weeknight might be good.

The total cost is $100, and a $50 deposit would be required to book so i can go ahead and order some things straight away. I'm going to do it, regardless of how many people i get interested, but the more people i have, the better the class will be. So, if you're keen get some friends along too - that way you'll get more split between you all to play with!! All materials will be provided for this price and it will be over 5 classes. If you miss a class, or can't make it to the classes at all - even if you're interstate - i can send you the class instructions weekly via email :D You'll just have to pay about $10 extra for postage.

I'll be using the new Sn@p! albums which you can choose the colour of - Brown, Green or Orange. I'll have to order them pretty soon to make sure i have them all for the workshops though. I think Brown will work best with what i have in mind, so that's what i'll be ordering for myself :D

You can see an example of my album from last year in this online album, but this years one will be a bit different, with the divided pocket pages - and the album it comes in will make it much more finished too :D

I really hope to get this one going, and i'd like to order the albums this week if possible. I'll also set up a private facebook page for the members of the class so we can keep contact with each other and i can give you extra little hints as we go along!!

If you are keen for this class, drop me a line at kylie.smith@me.com and i'll get you started with this awesome and very exciting project!!!
