A Layout by One of My Students

 Just thought I would share a layout one of my students, Jenny Graham did in class last Friday. I think she has done such a great job I thought it would be nice to show everyone. Jenny has used one of the 

"Dusty Attic" doors that I spoke about the other week. We stock these & other similar ones at our shop at The Entrance. Jenny has given it a great woodgrain effect as well as doing a lot of gorgeous NEW techniques, she learnt in the class, to create her fabulous  background. Jenny has used a great little 

2 Crafty chipboard Word & Mini Frame as well as lots of beautiful Green Tara flowers.

Great job Jenny. Thanks for sharing.

 Until next time. Cheers Di xo

"Page of the Month" Due In &Stock Update

"PAGE OF THE MONTH"

Hello everyone, hope you have all had a great week. I just wanted to remind you all that our "Page of the Month" entries were due in this week, but we are still waiting on a few stragglers!!! Nothing changes hey. I have to say that this month is without a doubt, the absolute BEST entries we have ever had. Next week I will photograph them all, individually, & post them all on the blog. Wait until you see what the girls have done, they all look really incredible!! Fabulous work. So if you want to be in the voting & eligible for the $25 prize I will extend the deadline to Tuesday, but then I will post them on the blog & start the voting, so come on girls, make that extra effort to get them in.

"STOCK UPDATE"

This week we received another big order of 2 Crafty chipboard. Lots of top ups of all our favourites as well as some NEW things.

I had it all laid out on the carpet to unpack & price it all & I took this photo. It looks like it goes on forever!!! It seemed like forever to get it all unpacked & priced etc. We got several beautiful NEW  flourishes, some great Kid pieces, loads of great Words & Phrases  as well as some more Miniatures in chip for both Cards & ATC's. I think I told you last week that          2 Crafty does a fabulous range of chipboard especially for cards etc. They are all little mini pieces that are just perfect for both Cards & ATC's.

Sorry these pics are not the best, but it is really hard not to get reflection on the cellophane packs!!

This week we also got a top up order from our favourite Green Tara who make the most delicious flowers, ribbons & laces. This is just a sampling.

 

Well that is about all for today, so until next time, have a great weekend.

Cheers Di  xo

Class Layout & Stock Update

Hello everyone. Today I thought I would show you all yet another layout one of our students did in class the other day. She has done a fabulous job with such a stunning photo. She has used some of the NEW Bo Bunny "Little Girl" range, which hit our shelves last week. Thanks for sharing this with us Ann.

STOCK UPDATE

Just a few pics of some of the NEW paper ranges to arrive in store last week. This is one of the NEW Bo Bunny ranges. The same one Ann has used in the above layout. It is gorgeous.

Another NEW range from  My Minds Eye.

Some more from My Minds Eye.

We also got some NEW KRAFT Cardstock in some varying shades of Kraft colours as well as another "Hand Made" Kraft card. I love Kraft Cardstock but I think it is nice to have the choice of exactly what shade, don't  you think?  Also this paper is another My Minds Eye one that goes beautifully with the Kraft as do  these Green Tara mesh ribbons.

Lastly here is some more NEW papers from Basic Grey.

Well thats all for today, sorry I have neglected the blog a bit over the past few weeks but I have been very busy chasing my tail!!

Stay tuned later in the week as I have some big orders due in from 2 Crafty Chipboard, Dusty Attic Chipboard & Green Tara, more yummy flowers & ribbons.

Thanks for calling by. Until next time.

Classes at Di's

Today I thought I would share a couple of pages with you that some of students have done in some of our classes recently. Firstly this beautiful layout called "Reflections" was done by one our our students, Diana Byrne. This was a gorgeous pic of her Grandchildren. Such a fantastic job Diana. Thanks for sharing with us.

Next up we have a couple of Vintage layouts to share with you. We have been doing loads on Vintage lately. It seems so many of  our students have some amazing Vintage photos & it is such a shame to keep them hidden away in a drawer, much better to get them onto a layout for all to admire. This layout was done by another of our students, Ann Nguyen. Ann has done some stunning Vintage layouts with us. She has so many gorgeous Vintage photos. 

Here is another Vintage layout that Ann did at yet another class recently. This one is reminiscent of the War years with some great old family photos. Ann is very lucky to have such great pics. Thanks so much girls for sharing these with our followers.

If you have some old photos that you would like to scrap but are not sure exactly where to start, come & see us & perhaps book into a class & let us help you.

We do a class every day of the week, Monday to Saturday, at 10.30am.

 Cost is $12 class fee plus product.

Ring the shop to book in on 43344451

See you in class

Cheers Di  xo.
