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 :)

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.
