We have a couple of Card of the Month kits still available.
Each kit comes with full instruction to make 8 cards (as shown in the image) but there are plenty of left overs! You can easily create at least another 10 cards or even a layout or 2!
Give me a call (0408 913684) or e-mail me (marijke@wholesalebrads.com) if you would like a kit.
Wishing everyone a super day!!

This week I have been looking for some ideas for our new house. I will actually have a room for all my crafty items! As the room is smallish I have looked for ways that can store a lot with out looking cluttered.
What do you think of a desk like this? So easy to make with 2 book cases and a table top! Even I could make this!!

Wishing everyone an awesome week ahead!!
This week has really flown by again! We had canvas classes, scrapbooking classes as well as card making and a kids class. My little boy turned 6 on Friday, there was a sports carnival at school, today the kids went to a party this morning, I worked, then in the afternoon Elisa and I met up with some Arty Farty People (click here to join that FB group 🙂 – you won’t regret it!!) and now I should be getting ready for my little man’s birthday party we are holding at the park in Strathalbyn tomorrow (after soccer in the morning!).
What have you been up to this week?
The kids where face painted at the party this morning. Unfortunately it looks like little Alex will be staying slightly green as even with scrubbing I couldn’t remove the rest!! Doesn’t help that his skin is allergic to lots of things I could have possibly used to help remove it (like baby oil!)

Our re-stock of the following VERY popular stamps arrived this week and are back on the shelf… Only $4 each!! They are not online – so if you are not in Geraldton and am interested in them please give me a call on 0408 913684 to order.
Just a quick update from me… (Yes Finally!!)
For the past 2 weeks we have held a Project Life styled scrapbooking Class. We created 10 pages + the front cover and have scrapped close to 50 photos.
Everyone loved it so much we are continuing our Thursday night.
You can choose to buy the kit and learn something new every week, or just do your own thing. Either way, it promises to be a great night with great ladies and some scrapping done.
The kits will always be around the $20 mark which will include the plastic inserts, papers and embellishments that you need to complete it. Or you can pay $5 to do your own thing.
There are 2 places remaining in tomorrow nights class so give me a ring if you would like to join us.
For those opting to do the kit:
We will be creating a 2 page spread using papers from Prima Marketing, rhinestones, mulberry flowers and butterflies, washi tape as well as stamping using the awesome new stamps from Kaisercraft.
WASHI TAPE UPDATE
We have received a big box full of washi tape. All the latest designs!
We will be using a couple of different stencils, stamps and plenty of layering.
Date: Tuesday 3rd September
Time: 9.30 – 12.00pm
Cost: $35
Please just bring your basic tool kit.
not able to attend the workshop but would love to have the kit? Pre-order now. (won’t be available till after the class)
This is the canvas we will be making in Week 1 |
Dates: Tuesday 13th August, 20th August and 27th August.
Hope you are enjoying this sunny weather as much as I am!
I would just like to introduce to you some new kits we have in store. They have been made with the modular (project life) scrapper in mind. But you can also use it to embellish your traditional pages as well making cards.
Each kit comes with everything in the image.
Each kit costs $12.50 with more being added weekly.
Even though Becky Higgins has been around for a while, the scrapbooking world seems to have gone mad about the Project Life style of scrapbooking. (A.k.a. modular scrapbooking)
What do I think?
Its great for all those people who have always believed they do not have time to scrapbook. Its also perfect to scrap a whole holiday where you literally have hundreds of photos to document a week or 2 in your life.
I don’t agree with documenting every single week….but hey – if you do that’s great! I just don’t need the added stress of making sure I have every week logged. But everyone’s life is different, and everyone manages their time differently (and I don’t really manage mine that well!!). I just know if I started with the intension of scrapping every week it will not happen after the 2nd week – and I really don’t need another thing to feel guilty about! lol
So how will I incorporate modular scrapbooking in my albums? I will be mixing it up. Have pages with traditional layouts, pages with lots of layers and then have pocket pages mixed in with it. I have a sample in the shop if you would like to see it.
What do you think of this style? Would you like to try it out?
Join us on Thursday where we will make 10 pages using the beautiful new Take Note Collection from Kaisercraft.
This is a class designed by Melissa Kennedy. When I was in melbourne for the retailer day they gave us 1 hour to complete this…. we have decided to make it 2 x 2 hour classes.
All you need to bring is 40 – 45 photos. (6×4″ both portrait and landscape) but if you don’t have the photos the first week bring them for the 2nd class, your favourite brown ink pad, pair of scissors, paper trimmer and your favourite adhesive.
Class costs $45 which covers both weeks, all plastic inserts needed, stickers, papers, collectables, wood flourishes etc.
Then we also have another class on Monday evening. (only if min. number have booked). This will be to create a full Holiday album.
We will be using both traditional layouts and pocket pages.
Kit includes:
18 x double sided patterned papers
1 x printed acetate
1 x 12″ sticker sheet
5 sheets of 12″ cardstock
1 matching album.
Don’t you just LOVE the colours?
Above image is the album cover. |

My last post (which is still in drafts) was written when I was travelling to Melbourne for 2 days of retailer training. Boy that seems so long ago!! Better get that one finished this weekend and I have a lot more to share with you too!
But firstly I would like to apologise for my absence a bit for the past 4 months and for the delay in posting orders etc.
In March my Dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer and our family went through the whole upheaval as you do when a family member is seriously ill. He had major surgery to remove the tumour and as you can imagine a 70 year old doesn’t just spring back.
There where a number of complications after the surgery which resulted in more surgery… what it comes down to for the past 4 months there have been a lot of appointments (specialist, Doctors, cancer specialists, blood tests, MRI’s, CT scans etc etc etc). There has also been a LOT of waiting for results, lots of stress for all involved.
While dad was recovering my mum got sick as well and had 5 hour surgery 2 weeks ago. (supposed to be a 1 hour surgery but it seems my parents like to add a bit off drama and stress in!!)
So now the best news? My dad has no secondary cancer and Geoff Menezes is such a wonderful surgeon that he removed the original tumour so perfectly that there is none left. He is very fortunate to not even need chemo now. Things always happen for a reason, and if he hadn’t had those major complications after surgery he would have started Chemo 3 months ago….and it turns out its not even needed. And my mum is fine now too (just recovering still from the operation).
Now the big catch up has started and all those projects that have been on the waiting list are now getting started…
I would just like to say a quick thanks to my friends who knew what was going on and helped me. Thank you for asking how my dad was all the time, thank you for all your prayers and just Thank you for doing my work when I had slacked off!
That’s it for a personal post from me 🙂 I only posted all this to let you all know why I have seemed a bit (ok VERY!) absent for the past 4 months.
