Today was the last day of our school holiday program. I really enjoyed the classes for the past 4 weeks. I can’t even say which age group I liked best as all the kids were wonderful.
The most popular was definitely the Wednesday morning and afternoon classes, with most of the kids doing both. They have learnt to cut out little images, inking, faux stitching, border punching, little bit of paper tole, stamping, ripping, shrinky dinks and putting it all together to make a work of art.
Kids amaze you sometimes with their hidden talents. They can be so creative and don’t always follow the instructions step by step as their creativity is unleashed. I even learnt a thing or 2 from them. We have a couple of boys that joined us every week, and a 12 year old boy who learnt card making wasn’t for him (the shrinking of plastic is what attracted him to the class lol).
We also had a very talented young lady helping out with the classes. She was brilliant. So great with the kids. I am very honoured that she was able to work with me, and couldn’t have done it without her – hopefully with school commitments and her other job she will still be able to help out with the kids classes and parties.
We have put together a great Term 1 program for all ages. At booking just specify the age so I can tailor the kit slightly if they are younger to help them keep up with the rest of the group. Places are limited as I don’t want to over fill the class. Cost $15 per week or $62.50 if you book and pay for the term before the 1st class commences. (saving of $12.50). If Saturday afternoons don’t suit you, you can also sign up for our take away classes and you will receive the kit along with detailed instructions to take home. (Help is available if needed).
Here are a few layouts we made during the holidays. Some are still available in kits if you would like to purchase any.
Hair Clips. During the class we made sleeper clips, bobbi pins and alligator clips. |

Same class as above – ut a boy version. Even though a lot of the girls opted for this one too. |
The girl version to the “boys and their toys” layout. |
9+ age group layout class. You can’t see it on most of the layouts, but the kids definitely gave the foam mounts a good workout! |
Our Christmas layout. The kids loved using the glossy accents! |
This was the 2nd option to go with the Butterfly layout. |
I don’t have the other layouts on the computer, will try to remember to load them at a later date.
Term 1 kids classes are on display in the classroom if anyone wood like to have a look.
Feel free to ring or e-mail me with any questions regarding the workshops available.
Hope everyone has a fantastic last weekend of the school holidays 🙂
