Clever paper idea

Victoria with her paper and costume

How's this for a cool idea: Crop goer Victoria was recently scrapbooking some photos wearing a leopard print costume. Hmm. actually she wasn't wearing the costume while scrapbooking.. the photos had the costume in them! Anyways, finding a good paper match was harder than you would think.

Enter our super cool colour copier machine... costume on the glass and ta da - perfectly matching paper. Nice one!


Speaking of the colour coping maching. Did you know it can print full 12" x 12"? Before you send those much loved pages overseas this Christmas. Come in and we will copy them for you. A 12"x12" sized copy is just $2.50 (cheapest around by the way) or if you want it on cardstock just $3.50. Linda is our colour copying whiz :)

School Holiday Fun!

So much fun ahead in our TWO full weeks of school holiday action.


We have a brilliant set up for the kids in our large upstairs class room area. Each day we make a special project (or two if there's time) and children are encouraged to express their creativity in colour and their own design using patterned papers, tools and embellishments laid out for them to enjoy.



Each session includes all materials and a yummy morning tea. No hidden costs! Come along to one, two or as many sessions as you wish . New kid crafters welcome.


For the first week of the School Holiday Program we are pleased to have teacher aid Leanne Ward leading the children through their projects.
