I hope your enjoying watching what we get up to here at NZ Scrapbook. There has been alot happening and even if you can't make it to our events, following along at home makes me feel like you're part of the fun.
Monday night was Product Preview: Masterpiece Studios & Jessie James Buttons “Theme-tastic Fun!” I knows I'm a little obsessed about formating our titles for the Product Previews the same way every time... don't worry the shop.gurls (heh I'm obsessed about calling them that too) tease me about it too. It is a mouthful! The photos really tell it all... we had a blast and everyone left with finished projects and an arm load of goodies - yay for a fun night!
Paula chose Soccer Girl theme from the Masterpiece Studios Paper and Jessie James Buttons:
Mum chose Under the Sea from Jessie James Buttons:
And I chose Tool Time from Jessie James Buttons:
All up we spell a little bit of crazy!
Some of our lovely participants also got into the theme-tastic spirit including...
an Angelic Ann (Happy Birthday Ann!)
Is that Grey's Anatomy music I can hear in the background? Looking awesome Elizabeth & Helen.
Tracy's a bigtime Jessie James fan. Check out these cool mini quilts she attached to her jacket for the evening:
We gave away three New Zealand Scrapbook gift vouchers to dressed up participants
Congrats to:
Donna Herbert looking snazzy in white
Wilma ready to jump on a Broadway stage
and Helen and Elizabeth who kept offering to operate on my 'squashed' finger!
Anyways, enough with the dilly dalliying! hey, that means you Mum & Dad downstairs...!
First project for the night - This wedding layout using the beautiful foiled papers by Masterpiece Studios, Bazzill bling cardstock, shimmer papers and Peelcraft Stickers.
Second project was a Meandering Mini-book. The inner pages kinda spiral open - super cute.
This book features Masterpiece Studios paper from which we cut the paisleys which we then embellished with micro-beads.
Every participant gets a kit, photo and instructions. This means whatever your level everyone knows exactly where they are up too.
Using the micro beads was good fun. For many of our participants this was their first time trying this product. We love introducing something new to you!
Speaking of new - Wendy shares a very clever book binders technique for dividing up your page.
Time for door prizes!
Congrats to Amanda and Toni who won Jessie James Buttons
and Nerys and Marie who won Masterpiece Studios paper assortment.
With our evening coming to an end, my Mum shares her weakness for Marshmellow
Yes, Product Preview: Masterpiece Studios & Jessie James Buttons “Theme-tastic Fun!” was a good lot of laughs... and has our friendly security firm who checks on us during the night further scratching their heads about what exactly we do here at NZ Scrapbook!
Until next time, byes for now!

hehehee... so my brother lent me the vest, helmet and also his fancy tool belt (not worn - opted for Dads old one). Lets just say, he's in for a wee floral surprise next time he's on the work site and reaches for his tools. All his tool and vest pockets are full of silk flower rose petals (heheheh!)... cos you know thats just the kind of sister I am ;)
