My Scrap Space...

I just love looking at other people's scrap spaces.  I find it very interesting to see what cool ideas people have for the area they scrap in.  This is my scrap space.  YES I have taken over the dining room!!

We had this great cabinet made for our dining room.  It is a fantastic storage unit for my scrap supplies now.  One of my favourite storage ideas is the black and white fabric storage boxes from Ikea.  They are perfect for storing embossing folders, stamps and dies.

This is one of the units that we sell in the shop.  They are a great way to store my paper storage boxes (also sold in the shop).  It is amazing just how much you can fit on top of it!!

What is your scrap space like?

Moving things around...

Well the time has finally come to make more room for stock!!  We have been growing in leaps and bounds and just cannot fit anymore stock in without making some changes.

So Sunday was the day to move the counters around. We had to unpack everying from under the counters and pull them apart to move them.

In this photo you can see just how far we have moved the counter.  I have to say that it will make a huge change to not have the lovely blue pole on our side of the counter.

We then had to put it all back together and put everything back where it was supposed to go.    Now it is all back together and very very clean and tidy.

I was even lucky enough to spot the cleaning pixis. 

We have a couple of new paper shelves coming in later this week.  This should help to fill the new space we have made.  They will be ready and waiting for all the new ranges of paper I purchased at CHA.

Hi guys!

Sarah here - just popping in to tell you a little bit about my upcoming ATC Wallet class!

I can already hear you screaming "What is an ATC?!". Well, "ATC" stands for Artist Trading Card and crafters and artists alike make and swap them just as kids swap baseball or Pokemon cards etc.

In my class I will explain all about what they are, where the idea came from, and how much fun they can be! I'll also be bringing in my personal collection of ATC's from artists all over the world!

But don't worry - if I still haven't convinced you to start collecting and swapping ATC's I'll show you how to use the ones we create in class for an eye catching element on a card front. :)

In class we'll be creating 5 x ATC's as well as an expanding wallet that holds them.

Here's a sneak peek of the project:

It's going to be such a fun class! We'll be using lots of yummy stamps from Darkroom Door, and I will show you how to use the Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powders - one jar of which will be included in your kit so you'll have plenty to play with at home!

This class will run on Thursday 10th March 2011 - 10:30am - 12:30pm. $30 (includes kit).

Please call the store on 1300 664 228 to book your place!

I hope to see you there!

NEW!!! Tim Holtz Distress Stains

Our order of Tim Holtz Distress Stain is now in store and ready for purchase.  Distress Stains are fluid water-based dyes for papers and other porous surfaces. Use for quick and easy ink coverage for backgrounds and larger areas. Mist with water to lighten color and create mottled effects. Apply layers of stain to achieve more saturated colour.

The brushed nylon dabber top has a built-in spring valve. This allows for controlling the release of Distress Stains from the bottle. By pressing the dabber top down onto surface, the valve opens and fluid releases. Lift dabber away from surface to stop fluid flow. Spread Distress Stains by swiping the dabber top lightly as a brush across the surface.  

We have all the 12 colours available for purchase now for only $9.99 each.
