Below are a couple of photos of the mini bookcase with 12 books which we will be making in a workshop on the 26th November. You can easily change the theme, for example “The Year That Was” so a little book on each month for a particular year, or do 1 of each member of your family…options are endless.
There are still a couple of places left. Cost $92.50 which includes everything. (papers, pack of co-ordinating embellishments, paint)
If you were making one, what theme would you choose?

Have you visited our website lately? We have lots of new products including 3 ranges from Prima Marketing as well as 3 Christmas ranges at 30% off. Click here to have a look.
Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Have you seen the wonderful new tool that WeR Memory Keepers has designed? You roll it along the paper and it makes the holes ready for you to stitch. No need to pull out the sewing machine! And the sew easy is “so easy” to take along to crops.
I have already ordered a certain amount, and not sure how long it will take to get a 2nd order as this tool is a very popular item. If you would like to be one of the first to have it – and before Christmas head over to our website and order it. I anticipate it to arrive mid to end November.
Click here to see all the different stitches.

What do you think of this new tool?

I have just changed some settings as it seems a few people couldn’t comment….please let me know if you still can’t.
Thanks

I just love the new Fancy Pants papers that have come out. But before I order, I would like to know do you prefer a collection pack or to buy everything individually? Which one would you buy? There are so many great products out there – it is very hard to pick and choose so I am leaving the decision in your hands!

The papers would be (all prices are approx. depends on postage costs) $1.65, the collection packs $39.95 and the stickers sheets $4.99.
Please comment or e-mail me if you prefer.  🙂
Thanks

Mr 3 thought it was a great idea to pluck a rhinestone from my layout and stick it up his nose…..I can see something shiny in there but can’t reach it with the tweezers! That was after getting his head stuck in his sister’s doll house! (I am such a good mother – he was crying/screaming to get out and I first go and get the camera….

Good Morning!

Thanks to everyone who came in to visit during our inaugural week. And thank you for all the kind and encouraging comments!

The school doors open again in the morning so that also means a term full of classes are about to start as well.

The class schedule has been changed a little due to some requests. (Yes I do really listen to everyone’s input – can’t always do everything but I try 🙂 )

In week 5 we have scheduled a Flower Power week! Learn to make quilled flowers on the Tuesday,  a layout class on the Wednesday (with lots and lots of flowers! ) and on Friday learn to make 8 different types of flowers. Some from paper others from fabric. These can be used in layouts as well as other crafts. The very talented Amber will be teaching this class. I am still trying to convince her to stay in Geraldton and not move to Tasmania. But before she leaves I will try and squeeze as many techniques and classes I can from her!

We have also planned in a Baby Week. Full of baby ideas and layouts, and then in week 8&9 we are having a Christmas fortnight. Lots of last minute card classes / ideas as well as table and home decorating ideas.

There are also plenty of other classes. You can drop in a collect a class schedule or send me your e-mail address and I will forward a copy to you.

Hope you all have a fantastic week!

I know, I know I haven’t kept up to date with the posting. But we did go to Europe for 3 weeks and when we came back we were working extremely hard to open our retail store.

We have now officially opened our doors, and have received some wonderful comments which has made our hard work worth it!

On the weekend I will be working overtime to try and get all the stock listed on the brand spanking new website.

Here are a couple of photos from our opening night…Christine and Joanne showing the way to the classroom. {which will be finished by next week 🙂 }
Our display table as you enter the shop. The layouts were made using the Pina Colada collection by the very talented Jandell! Very happy to have her as part of our design team.
Sam and Renae having a chat.
Tara, Fiona and Maureen checking out the display…

Shopping…You can see the back of Amber (talking to Nancy) who is also a part of our design team. Her forte is BTP items. Her work is simply stunning!Jodie and Nancy having a chat…
Becci having a look at the few flourishes we had left…they literally flew out the door. Not to worry, more flourishes are on their way across the Nullabor as I’m typing.
Doreen would like to start scrapbooking….when she gets a spare moment! And of course Elisa is also in the photo – she just wants to own my shop! 🙂

I’ll be back on the weekend…hope you all have a great Friday.

Today the courier dropped of 8 BIG boxes from Imaginisce. Beautiful leather look albums (5 different colours) and 18 different cute stamps! They will be on our shelves at the opening of our store.

Do you love the Imaginisce mini stamps?

Our design team has doubled today! As well as Amber we now also welcome Jandell onboard. Boy did I give her a lot of homework to do today!! Can’t wait to see what she comes up with.

We have also put out a design team call out. We would love to have another 2 designers onboard. Do you love KaiserCraft? Are you willing to complete 1 project a month for at least 6 months? If that sounds like you why don’t you enter by either:
* posting a link to your blog on here in the comments section
* posting photos of 3 of your layouts on our facebook page (Scrapbooking in Geraldton) or
* e-mailing the images of 3 layouts to me and I will post them on facebook.

The followers / likers on facebook will be able to vote for their favourite layouts. The best 6 will then go to the next round.

Round 2 requires you to complete a layout with a specified theme. These will also be put to the vote and the 2 with the most votes will become part of our design team.

Competition is only open to residents of Australia.

What’s in it for you?

You will receive 6 kits in total (either 1 a month or 2 every 2 months) from which you will be asked to create a layout. All we ask is for you to either let us display it in store (if you live in Geraldton) or post it on online. We may ask you to include instructions for some of them if they are going to be used for a class.

Can’t wait to see the entries! Good Luck!
