I would like to announce that I am ceasing teaching scrapbooking classes for both personal and family reasons. This will be effective immediately.
If I have collected any class money for up-coming classes, this will be returned via the shop.
I thank you for your support whilst I have been teaching. I have thoroughly enjoyed our "get-togethers". I have also loved being a part of what you, as a participant have created.
Thank you.
Christine.

Term 4 Class Schedule
It is time for class again and I have another series of classes planned.
This term I have four classes planned, rather than five, so that we finish before the silly season gets going and also to make room for some Christmas card and present classes.
Classes will be priced individually this term due to two classes incorporating some very costly materials in them. This will aim to keep the price low for all so that you can sample the lovely products without having to make a huge outlay on products to be able to complete the class. If you have feedback about this structure, good or bad, please feel free to talk to me about it.
Class One: alcohol inks and super-gloss
Thursday October 22nd 2009.
$15
This class re-visits alcohol inks as they are such a versatile product. We will be using super high gloss cardstock to produce some great effects on a layout in class.
Class Two: perfect pearls
Thursday November 5th 2009
$19.50
This class will cover a number of techniques for using the Ranger product, Perfect Pearls. We will make a layout using the techniques learned. You will also take home a mini-mister with a concoction of your own to use on future projects.
Class Three: Embossing outside the square
Thursday November 19th 2009
$18.50
This class will focus on technique for using embossing powder to create fantastic and unique embellishments. We will use the techniques learned to make tiles and then create a layout to showcase them.
Class Four: 3 hours of power
Thursday December 3rd 2009
$15
Three hours of power incorporates simple yet effective designs to create 6 layouts in 3 hours. This class is always fast paced and fun. Full class notes mean that you can complete the night's layouts at home if you don't manage to get them done on the night.
If you would like to book in, please contact myself, or Renaye at Keepsake Krafts. Payment at the time of booking is essential to reserve your place.
See you in class and happy scrapping!

Fast Album Formulas
@ Keepsake Krafts
Thursday 17th of September 2009
7.30pm - 10.30pm.
In this class you will produce an album in quick time! There will be 6 double page layouts (ie, 12 layouts in total) with a unified colour scheme and simple style. This class is ideal for scrapping travel photos or for a 12 month baby album.
You will have the choice of completing a 12" x 12" album, or adapting the layouts to 6" x 6" format for a fast mini album.
Supplies needed:
Assortment of travel or baby photos. The number of photos is flexible, but allow for at least 3 photos per double page spread, if not more ( I have used a number of standard sized, shop-printed travel photos from a beach holiday many years ago).
12 pieces of cardstock in 3 complimentary colours (I have used white, beige and grey). If you are tackling a 6" x 6" album, you will only need 3 pieces of cardstock and another/chipboard for a cover.
Assortment of patterned paper to compliment your photos (I used 4 double sided patterned papers, but you could use only 2 throughout the whole album).
Mat pack and hole piercer.
Sandpaper.
Ink and favourite stamp, if you have one.
Scraps of cardstock to journal on, or journaling pre-printed onto cardstock, ready to cut into strips.
Gel pens for fake stitching and journaling.
Paint to coordinate with your colour scheme, if you have it.
Paint brush.
Foam alphabet stamps if you have them (I used the Making Memories ones).
Assortment of buttons, brads, flowers, stars to suit your theme if desired, but these are not necessary as we will be keeping the layouts simple and uncluttered.
Techniques used:
Inking, paint stamping, stamping, distressing, simple schemes, multi-photo layouts, double page layouts, fake stitching, hand journaling.
Class specifications may change without notice.
