Happy New Year everyone...we hope you had a great time over the Christmas / New Year break with family and friends and that you are all refreshed and ready to be creatively inspired by us...
We are excited to be bringing you some new monthly classes this year...The first is our fabulous travel album. Join us on the first Wednesday night of each month at 7.30pm at the Riverstone Neighbourhood Centre and before you know it you will have travel layouts completed and the tips and tricks that we will share with you along the way will help you create wonderful albums each time you take a holiday!
Here is a sneak peek:
As we have so many photos to scrapbook when we travel it can be confusing as to where to start and how exactly to display your wonderful photos and the memorabilia that you have collected along the journey. This is where we come in...we will show you various ways to present your photos including single and double page layouts, slip in pocket pages and even the 4 and 6 page layouts using the flip out protectors.For memorabilia we will include various ways to show off brochures, tickets, maps etc.
A title and an informative itinerary start the basics of our album and we will work on these on our first night - Wednesday 2nd February.
There are many ways to set out a travel album including consecutive by each day or place travelled, randomly or even by themes ie: dining experiences, poolside adventure etc.
We will look at different papers to use and various embellishments that you can included on your pages.
Quite often you will find themed papers for travel and they can present a challenge to use as you don't want to cover up the pattern or title that they have on them...bring these papers along and we will explore the endless possibilities.
Do you love recipes...We do!!
Start collecting your recipes now for our fun reciepe album class coming in April.
If you have a favourite receipe from Grandma or Uncle Harry or even Joan down the road why not get them to handwrite it (where possible) and then take a photo of them to include on the layout. The handwriting is something to treasure as the years go by...who knows in the future we may only be using computers or texting and handwriting might become a little known skill??
Kylie's husband's Nonna makes the best spaghetti sauce you have ever tasted but coming form Italy her English isn't the best and forget getting the receipe handwritten so a fabulous photo with Lauren and Madi and their great Nonna will accompany the receipe in her album.
She also has a handwritten receipe from her Mum (who passed away when Kylie was 16) but no photo to accompany this one so it will be a special "no photo" layout. Funny thing is the receipe is for a dish that Kylie despised when she was a kid but the handwriting holds the key to special childhood memories of her mother.
There is plenty of time to organise yourself and start collecting what you need to put together a layout each month!
