This month TheScrapbookStore.ie is delighted to be joined by our guest tutor, Michelle La Grue, who will be teaching a fantastic class using the new My Minds Eye, Lost and Found 2 Collection. The Workshop involves creating a stunning card and a beautiful 12" x 12" scrapbook layout.

Here are a few sneaky peeks:

The Workshop Fee is €25.00 and includes a full kit, tuition and refreshments. The kit includes four sheets of double sided paper, a cardstock diecut title, a sheet of label stickers, twine and a toothpick.

To complete the Workshop you'll also need to bring along the following items:

• One 6" x 4" portrait Black & White photograph. The title on the layout is "Dream Big" so bring along a photo to suit the colours of the papers/embellishments and the title!

• Foam Pads
• Double Sided tape
• Glue Dots
• Scissors
• Paper Trimmer
• Corner Rounder (we have one to share also)

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,
• paper trimmer,
• 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.
