New Stock

We have some great new stock coming in at the moment. We have a little range of the new cardstock Core dinations. We have some great 'rub on tape border runners' from Daisy d & the three ring binder albums have arrived. They are great value at just $19.90.

We've got more and more every day. If there's anything that you would like but can't find it in store, let me know and I will order it in for you.

More busy beavers in the class room


Vicki has been hosting quite a few happy

campers in the workshop area of late.

We have been producing some great

work. Anita completed her double

Trouble page in Thursdays -Boys, Boys, Boys
workshop. Our next Thursday,
May 1st will be a crumple & sand page.

Because the classes have been so popular, Vicki will be here Thursday morning and Thursday nights in May. Book in now to avoid disappointment.





Finally, A man who was happy to be in a scrapbooking store!!


This gentleman was on holidays with his wife and daughter, from New Zealand. You can just imagine how many scrapbooking stores he's been dragged to. Ours was his favourite. He found my sons x-box and had to be dragged from the store when his wife and daughter had finished shopping.

Ribbon Club


Wednesday morning we held our first 'Ribbon Club' which after a shaky start went off with a bang. I have a photo of a layout Erica did following the layout of the Craft Queen design team member who created for the ribbon club this month. It turned out beautifully, don't you think?

We hold Ribbon Club one night and one morning a month with the next one being next Wednesday 23rd. If you would like to join in the class then just phone me to book in. Hope to see you there.


Thursday morning with Vicki

Thursday morning with Vicki is going great guns. Yesterday we did ribbon weaving and used the sewing machine. We had two new scrappers that were amazed with the many and varied techniques scrappers use to create their beautiful family treasures. If you would like to give scrapping a go, or you know someone who does, then let me recommend a Thursday morning with Vicki. Vicki is a long time teacher and often published scrapper herself, so she knows what she's talking about and she can answer any scrapbooking question you might have. I forgot to take any photos of last Thursday though the layouts looked gorgeous.

Teach Petrina just teach

Our workshops have all been great this month and getting busier every week. Here is a photo of some of the ladies that attended Wednesday nights class. Thanks Petrina, everyone had a great time and we all learnt some great ideas. Hope you can come back soon.

Here is a couple of layouts from Petrinas class. Thanks ladies for allowing me to show the world your work.

Congratulations has to go to Petrina who has just had a layout published on the cover, no less, of Scrapbook Creations and to Thea for being such a willing model.


If you would like to be taught some great scrapbooking techniques by an often published scrapbooker then watch this space and make sure you book in when we get Petrina back in to do another workshop.

If coming in to do a workshop is something that you've been thinking of doing, now is the time. Bring a friend, have some fun and maybe learn a new technique.

Thanks Vicki.

Everyone had heaps of fun and took home a beautiful bag and brooch each. We will definately be having more kids classes next holidays so don't forget to check out the workshop timetables closer to the date.
