BIG Saturday!   NEW products, FREE demos & TeresaCollins layout workshop   Teresa Collins Layout Workshop - 1pm Saturday 30th June   Hi all, We have a big day lined up for you tomorrow, Saturday 30th June.  With new products, technique demonstrations and a layout workshop its going to be a lot of crafty fun.  Come along to our warm friendly store for just a quick visit or create the day away.  All welcome!

NEW Embossing Folders Just in! New Embossing folders from EZ Cut!  These pretty embossing folders will work in all Die-cutting machines whether you have a Sissix, EZ Cut, Cuttlebug or other.  NINE new dies to choose from at just $9.99 each.  I particularly love the Hibiscus design (pictured above), how great for holiday and summer (I wish!) photos.  Available in store now and via our website.

New Teresa Collins & Layout Workshop New collection Sweet Afternoon and Layout Workshop: This new collection is a real beauty.  In pretty pastel blues, pinks and neutrals it is idea for baby, wedding or any pretty styled page or card you wish to make.  Stand out items include the high quality double-sided papers and the journal block punch out sheets with gorgeous tags, tabs, bunting and frames.  These sheets are just $2.99, a great buy so make sure you look out for those. Layout workshop pictured at the top of this page starts at 1pm and features glitter accents, the brand new Tonic geared border punch border (love!) and Slice Machine lettering (love love!).  $25 to attend which includes materials.  Please bring your basic kit, adhesives and photos.  This layout workshop will be repeated twice more in the coming week so if you can't make Saturday then you are welcome to attend Thursday 5th July at 7pm or Monday 9th July at 10am.  Phone 09 912 0665 to book.

NEW Tonic geared border punches New Tonic Border Punches: Tonic have a new range of lovely border punches that are quite unique!  With internal gearing even punching through card is a breeze.  There are a selection of punches available some of which make lace strips rather than borders ready for inking and adhering to your craft projects.  Seems these punches have had quite an interest in the UK with cake decorators.  Create your own paper tissue cake wraps and metallic lace ribbons - great idea!   By the way, we have an excellent range of Tonic products - high quality crafting tools.

FREE Technique Demonstrations all day All Day Technique Demonstrations: Have you seen rubber stamps, paper distressing tools, sewing punches and other interesting tools in store and not really known what they do and why you would even want to try them?  This Saturday you can find out why these methods are so awesome as we are getting back to basics with rubber stamping, paper distressing, Slice Machine cutting and paper stitching.  You are invited to come along during the day to watch and try these techniques.  Give it a go and learn something new.  FREE! Demonstrations change on the hour and times are as follows: 10am  Rubber stamping and basic heat embossing 11am  Distressing techniques.  How to give your projects that antique well loved look. 12noon  Slice Machine demonstrations.  HOT for lettering, image and embellishment cutting.  Paper AND Fabric.  Current must have tool! 3pm  Stitching on paper.  Covers both machine and hand stitching.

Don't forget, Mega Crop tonight! Escape the winter cold for an evening of scrapbooking and papercrafting... and soup!   6pm -Midnight.  $15, no bookings necessary. Hope to see you this weekend, either way make sure it's a goodie :) ~Kathleen, Linda and the team at NZ Scrapbook

Daily workshops & activities, something for everyone!

Hello everyone, How is your week going?  Talk about a wild week weather-wise.  I got caught in my car during one of those gusty downpours and I felt like I should hold onto my safety belt and I was parked in the car park!  Where ever you are in the country I hope you are keeping well, warm and dry. Its been a busy week here at NZ Scrapbook with lots of classes and events lined up for you to enjoy.  Before we get to that you may have noticed a snazzy new look to our email newsletter.  If you have a couple of minutes please take the time to update your details by clicking the link at the end of this email.  Our hope is to keep you informed and inspired with regular updates and with this new format a little more clarity than previously available.  Wish me luck with the techy learning curve! So without any more fluffing about let's get to the classes.  The next six days are JAM PACKED with classes and activities for you, your friends and your children to enjoy including FREE technique sessions on Saturday. Beginners Workshop Wednesday 27th June at 6.30pm If you have been thinking about trying scrapbooking or have just dabbled a little on your own and feel like you need some help getting started this is the workshop for you.  Designed with the complete newbie in mind your tutor Chantelle will lead you through creating a page.  This is the perfect time to ask questions and gain a little confidence as you step into the big wide world of scrapbooking! Beginners Workshop is just $20 for this two hour class and includes materials.  Please bring one or two photographs.  Late bookings still available phone 09 912 0665 to book. Scrapbooking Techniques with Tracy Scrapbooking Techniques with Tracy Layout for Thursday Thursday 28th June at 7pm (and repeated Monday 2nd July at 10am) Tracy's Thursday night technique workshop has been going from strength to strength in the last couple of months with high enthusiasm and record numbers.  We put it down to consistently good layouts and a great bunch of participants that make it good fun too.  This Tracy is doing something a little different this week using a pie tool template that fits A LOT of photos onto a page.  In fact this week it is a double page spread and we encourage you to bring at least ten photos that you are happy to cut, on a similar theme.  Ideas include lots of photos of one person or child, Christmas photos, holiday photos, parade photos, sports photos.  If you are not sure if you want to cut them then we can copy them for you and you can scrapbook the duplicates.  Class fee is $25 and includes the page kit.  Please bring photos, adhesives and your basic paper crafting tools.  Phone 09 912 0665 to book. Crop Night Thursday 28th June from 6pm until 10pm Ideal for working independently on your pages Crop Nights is making an appointment with yourself for uninterrupted scrapbooking time.  Using our spacious tables you can scrapbook and socialize while selecting items for purchase from the store if you choose.  $10 to attend and a great way to make new friends.  No bookings necessary. Mega Crop Night Friday 29th June from 6pm until Midnight Just like the Thursday night crops Mega Crop night is an excellent opportunity to scrapbook for the evening.  Being Friday night and a longer scrapbooking session Mega Crop night has a little more of a party atmosphere.  This week we are reintroducing the Mega Crop Make'n'Take which is a small project to create during the evening if you wish.  Also last week at one of our classes we had super toasty winter soup, it really was a bit of a treat so are including it this month at Mega Crop as well.  Since I'm (Kathleen) is the cook I'm tending towards Leek and Potato as I picked up a recipe from Simply Fresh this week and it looks super yum!  Fee for the evening is $15, please bring your current paper craft projects to work on and kit.  No bookings necessary. SATURDAY Technique Demonstrations This Saturday we are all about getting back to basics with techniques.  If you are self taught scrapbooker, cardmaker or just starting out it can be easy to fall through the cracks of basic and tool techniques.  Each technique demonstration session is FREE.  Cruise along to the technique demonstration that interests you, have your questions answered and give the technique a go.  This is not a Make'n'Take as such, more an opportunity to give something crafty new to you a try. Demonstrations change on the hour and times are as follows: 10am  Rubber stamping and basic heat embossing 11am  Distressing techniques.  How to give your projects that antique well loved look. 12noon  Slice Machine demonstrations.  HOT for lettering, image and embellishment cutting.  Current must have tool! 3pm  Stitching on paper.  Covers both machine and hand stitching.
