Scrapbooking Stamping 'N Stuff - Home Delivered

Ooops

sorry girls, I put the wrong phone number for booking into the Diva class.

You need to ring 02 63 617300.

It's about the craft

Hi girls hope you had a lovely weekend.

We had the Just Doodle It class on Saturday morning. Another great group of girls and I'm sure a relaxing and inspirational time was had by all in the class.

Now, we constantly talk about making scrapbooking meaningful, but just for tomorrow we are concentrating on the CRAFT of scrapbooking.

The Diva make n take class focuses on the craft with beautiful Delish Design papers and embellishments, although the page does include photos, they are not our focal point for this page.

We still have places left for the Diva make n take class and we'd love for you to joins us tomorrow night Tuesday 31 July between 7 and 9. Just give me a call to put your name down to attend 63 62 0771

Have a great day.

Congratulations to this month's winner, Sarah Heath, her layout featuring her daughter's portrait of her was popular with both staff and customers so we are delighted to announce that Sarah wins this months class voucher.  Her layout is pictured below.  Stay tuned for next month's challenge.

Tip of the Week...

This time the tip of the week is from Donna...

Stitching is a popular technique for adding texture and lovely details to your scrapbook pages.  I stitch by following these basic steps:

1. Lightly sketch your design with a pencil.  I freehand the design or use a template (the doodle genie is a great doodling template).

2. Use a paper piercer to put holes along the sketched pencil lines, try to keep even spacing between each hole.  Erase all the pencil markings from the page.  Because the holes have already been pierced, it's easy to see where to stitch.

Tip: Don't pierce your holes too close together.  When the holes are too close, it's easier to cause an unwanted tear in your layout.

3. Thread a large needle and stitch the design following your already pierced holes.

Tip: Thread your needle with two colours of embroidery floss for additional visual interest.

Variation: Try this technique using a rubber stamp and a watermark inkpad (we stock VersaMark).  Simply pierce the holes along the stamped image and then stitch!

Belinda/Toby is famous

Hi girls

Go to the For Keeps web site @ www.forkeepscreativescrapbooking.com.au/ and you will see Belindas layout of Toby under, "In The Forum".

You may have seen the layout in the shop, before it became famous. It is of Toby in the middle of a sunflower. Congratulations Belinda.

Tip of the Week

Duplicate your layout and use up the scraps from pages to make cards.

We are doing the same in the shop, come and have a look and see how easy it is. Below is a sample of a layout and card made using the scraps and layout design.

This particular layout will be the Stamp it UP make n take class that will be held on Tuesday 21 August.

Don't forget to check the bibs and bobs box that is on the counter. It has some great treasures that can be used on your cards or the kids cards.

Thanks Bec for this tip. And don't forget that Bec has a regular card class on the last Saturday of each month. Bec has her 'Fathers Day' card in the store now for you to have a look at.
