May Timetable is Out

You can almost smell the chocolate in the air with Easter literally just around the corner…the Easter Bunny even made a surprise visit to Sketched this morning…nothing like chocolate to help get the creative juices flowing!!

 May is our big birthday month, it’s hard to believe that we are celebrating our 6^th birthday. What’s good to know is that we at Scrapbooks etc are still as passionate about scrapbooking as the day we first opened our doors, we are still like kids at Christmas when new stock arrives in the store and almost trip over each other to use the new products first…nothing like the smell of paper as it’s first unpacked mmm!!!! We have lots of things planned for our Birthday Celebrations including free crops on Thursday May 12 and Friday May 13 so come along and join us.

Classes

Copy Cat- Unknown as yet as I am still in the OFFICE. Will let you know soon!!!

Trend Studio- ‘Eclectic and Quick’ It’s all about mastering the art of fast layouts with a creative mix of embellishments. How fast can Melissa get the mismatched to come together on your next page to create a layout that works?

Take 2- Lucky Kerryn gets to be creative with the stunning ‘Twig’ range from My Little Yellow Bicycle consisting predominately of blues and browns

Classy Cards- Michelle has snaffled the ‘Garden Party’ range from Imaginisce to use this month. Pinks, blues and teals form a winning colour combination

Sketched!- All portrait photos for May, 8 to be exact!! 2 4x6, 3 ½ size and 3 ¼ size photos are required

Product Pick- To travel or not to travel?…that is the question! The basis of this month’s kit is the ‘Destinations’ range from Simple Stories. The papers are teamed with a mask, alphabet stickers, frame and metal embellishments…will the girls use the kit for travel inspired layouts or will they think outside the square?

Inspiration 101- We’re taking a deep breath and slowing down this month, allowing more time to finalise all of the finer details and catch up on anything you may have missed. This is the perfect time for Melissa to help you with all the embellishing or have her help you plan your photos for the coming months. For the girls who have completed their homework, there will be new techniques and simple layout ideas to fill any gaps in your layout.
