International Talent
Good Evening!
There are many international designers who offer to come to local scrapbook stores and teach if you book and pay in advance. You may (or may not) have seen on a couple of blogs last night that 3 international designers have cancelled their trip to Perth due to a store in Perth not following through with their agreement.
An opportunity then presented itself that 2 that I spoke to would be able to come to Geraldton if I would like to book them. BUT there would be a minimum for classes and there are flights etc that need to be paid. So my question to you is, would you pay around $120 to be taught by an international artist? The classes would be fuller than normal so you may not get as much help and assistance that you are used to, so personally I don’t think it would suit a beginner. One of the designers is absolutely brilliant in mixed media, and the other offers classes from Prima, Authentique and Pink Paisley.
Please e-mail me if you would be interested. Need to move fast as kits would need to be arranged and they would be leaving their home countries in a matter of weeks.
SHEart – Make your own canvas!
You can now buy Christy’s SHE art papers and rub ons through Pink Paisley. I just love the colours and I love Christy’s style.
Would anyone like to join us for a 2 hour workshop on Friday afternoon (20th April). Costs $35 which includes the full kit, use of tools and adhesives and 2 hours of tuition. At the end of the class you will have completed a canvas – and its a perfect gift for your mum on Mother’s day which is less than a month away!
Bring a heat gun with you if you have one.
You can book for the class in store, via e-mail or give me a call. Full payment is required when booking to secure your place.
Wishing everyone a great Sunday tomorrow.

New in Store – Washi Tape
Today our shipment of washi tape arrived.
What is washi tape?
Quite simply its a high quality printed masking tape made from Japanese Rice paper (Washi), The adhesive is a low tack which makes it extremely easy to use and re-use!
You can:
* Tear It
* Stick it
* Reposition it
* write on it + more!
Have a look over at Pinterest for some great ideas! Click here.
UNIQUE IDEA: When Jodie popped in to the shop today she bought a couple of rolls to use as band aids! Her 2 year old often has boo boos without any blood….so a bit of pretty masking tape does the trick and a lot cheaper than a pack of barbie bandaids!
Hope you have a great evening!

Each week you will Learn how to use all of those products you may have seen in the shop, or that you may have bought before, but never really knew what to do with. You may be surprised to find out how many products actually have more than one use!
You will learn some new techniques and also brush up on some old, but good techniques that don’t date. Each week will be relaxed, fun-filled and technique-based. All classes will be hands-on and you will get to play and practise. It is the best way to learn!
You will finish the ten-week workshop by putting all of your-new found knowledge together and creating your very own art piece.

Inspiration for Card Makers….
Where has March gone? Can’t believe we are already in the last 1/3 of the month. It will be Easter before long. (and we have a couple of great easter card classes planned too – details available later this week).
For today I would like to share with you cards made with the new Kaiser April releases. I know, its not April yet but kaiser made them available earlier as there are a few Easter themed papers in the collection.
Firstly introducing Charlotte’s Dream.
This collection is a whimsical dream of soft pastels and florals. Light turquoise, coral and brown make up the colour palette which go perfectly with any femine or friendship themed project you have in mind!
Fine and Sunny on the other hand is fun and bright. It’s perfect for scrapping your Easter photos. Its extremely versatile and can definitely be used for any children’s project that is sure to turn out ever-so-cute with this collection!
Which is your favourite collection?
