Language of Flowers Class - This Saturday!

Hi all!

Language of Flowers participant (and friend!) Diane Brewer came in to visit me in store this week with her completed project in tow. She did a fab job!

The book itself is wrapped in a cover of lace and burnt felt. Diane added her own touch of net and flowers. Check out what's inside...

Embellished cover of the book itself.

Lots of beeswax, flowers and images.

and altered photo techniques.

We use heaps of vintage image photographs, wax, dies, gels and washes. You end up with having tried lots of mediums and techniques and a tactile book full of surprises.

Our next class is actually tomorrow (Saturday 5th July, 10am - 3.30/4pm $60 including materials and an additional follow up afternoon) ... I do have two spaces left which can be booked 09 912 0665. If you missed this class and would like to have a go next time round, feel free to ring the shop to be put on our request list.

Have a great weekend! Thanks for sharing your book with us Diane!

Saturday Highlights!

Hi all,
Hope you had a great weekend! There is always something happening here at NZ Scrapbook and Saturday was no exception. Like a good scrapbooker I had my camera in my pinny pocket ready to shoot the action!

My daughter celebrated her 7th Birthday this week and since she loves to scrap we decided to have one of our Kids Birthday Parties for her ($19.50 per Child, minimum 6 kids to have a party - and we host, entertain, help create, feed and clean up!)

Playing a game of Pin the booger on Shrek...now there's a sentence I never thought I'd say on this blog!

Hannah adding the final touches to her page.

This is my son Oliver. A King's crown huh? I'm TOTALLY saving this pic for his 21st birthday. heheh

Straight into the Parent & Child Class. This week Mum takes the participants through a shaker photo technique and they stenciled texture paste on another layout.

Kayla you chose a perfect photo for the shaker technique!

Fenn has a great bunch for the Kids Class. We have some exciting changes planned for the Kids Classes. More info on that in a later post.

Kid's Class participants making the all important paper decisions.

The Language of Flowers Class spent the afternoon putting the final touches on their projects.

Stephanie on my beloved sewing machine. I'm not sure this well used tool has actually SEEN an item of clothing under its needle.

Meanwhile, downstairs was also a hive of activity... sometimes creativity is TANGIBLE!

After all this was an evening of Altered Book Club. I must have been pooped by this stage cos I have NO PHOTOS. But I DO have art!

Yay for another enjoyable Saturday! There is always something you can be involved in... we invite you to join in the fun!

Hope to see you in store soon :)
