May Workshop thanks and finished layouts!

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to our May Workshop at the Whitehall Parish Centre, Dublin last Thursday 26th May.  It was another full house and everyone’s completed layouts were absolutely stunning. 

This month we created two layouts using the new Pink Paislee Hometown Summer Collection of papers, chipboard and alphabets.  We chose to use photos of Summertime in the garden with the kids  for the demo layout, but on the night everyone chose their own theme and title.  Here are photos of the completed layouts:

Our next outing in Whitehall is on Thursday June 23rd from 7pm to 10pm and we’re staying on the Pink Paislee trip!  We’ll be creating another two layouts using the new Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden Collection.  Why not join us for an evening of crafty fun, chat and home baking?  You can book your place by emailing workshops@thescrapbookstore.ie or telephoning/texting 086-2065346.

Hope to see you there,

May 26th Workshop–Sneak Peeks!

Counting down to our monthly Workshop in Whitehall Parish Centre, Dublin 9 this Thursday May 26th 2011.  This month we’re creating two beautiful 12” x 12” layouts using the fantastic new Pink Paislee Hometown Summer Collection.  It’s a bumper €15.00 worth of kit this month with Bazzill Cardstock, five sheets of Pink Paislee Hometown Summer double sided paper, a pack of Hometown Summer Chipboard Pops stickers and a pack of Pink Paislee Lemon Cushies.

Here’s a few sneak peeks:

To take part in the Workshop you'll need to bring

• a scissors,

• adhesive for sticking paper,
• and black or brown ink (I used Antique Linen Distress Ink).  

For the first layout you'll need:

• One 4" x 6" photo and one 3" x 4" photo, printed with white borders, both portrait format. 
• For the 2nd layout you'll need: two 4" x 6" portrait format photos and one 4" x 6" landscape format photo. 

As always, the photos can be added later if you don't have suitable ones on the night.

The colours are bright reds, greens and yellows and will suit a Summer or Summer Holiday theme.  The layouts are open themed as you'll have a sheet of alphabet Cushies stickers to decide on your own title on the night.

Workshop places cost €25.00 and include a kit, tuition, homebaking, tea & coffee.  Crop spaces cost €10.00 if you would like to attend and work on your own projects.  You can book a workshop place or a crop space by emailing workshops@thescrapbookstore.ie, by texting 086-2065346.

Sneak Peeks of our April Workshop!

If you’re interested in taking part in our April Workshop, here’s what you need to know ……

We’ll be creating an open themed scrapbook layout using papers and embellishments from the new Basic Grey Curio Collection. The Workshop costs €25.00, is suitable for papercrafters of all levels and all materials are supplied. While the papers are beautifully detailed with a vintage feel, they are also suitable for modern photos. So bring along a few of your favourite photos and get scrappin’!

Our monthly Workshops are stand-alone modules so you can just come along any month you choose and take part. Mark the date in your diary, Whitehall Parish Centre, Dublin 9, Thursday 28th April 2011 from 7pm to 10pm.

Here’s what you’ll need to bring:

Essentials

• A paper trimmer and scissors
• Adhesive for sticking paper to paper
• Strong double-sided tape for making the box flower
• Photographs: We used two 4” x 6” portrait format photos with white borders but you could use two 4” x 6” landscape format photos or alternatively a larger photo, not exceeding 8” x 6” ,portrait style. Photos can be colour (if they match the papers) or black and white, they can be modern or vintage as the theme of the layout is open.

Bring these also if you have them (we will have some to share on the day):

• A decorative border/edger punch e.g. Martha Stewart Doily Lace or Martha Stewart Deep Edge Flower but any decorative border/edger punch will do
• A scalloped circle punch (3” or 2.5”) and a plain circle punch (2.5” or 2”)
• A paper piercer or needle to make a hole for the brad
• You may like to ink the edges of the paper, if so, bring along some Ranger Distress Ink in Walnut Stain.

Hope you can make it and if you have any questions just email Annamarie at workshops@thescrapbookstore.ie

Looking forward to meeting you this month!
