SCRAPBOOKING WITH FABRIC with Tania Willis
Sept 7 – Sept 24

6 lessons posted on Mondays and Thursdays over 3 weeks

Get the warmth and texture of textiles onto your scrapbook pages. You’ll learn a diverse range of techniques as you add fabric to your projects in both big and small ways. As always, Tania will have you pushing the boundaries of your creativity while encouraging you to reduce, reuse, and recycle castoff fabrics so they’re useful once again.

Anyone who has taken a class with Tania knows that her lessons are BIG and full of original and inspiring ideas. Past students also know that Tania spends a substantial amount of time in the class forums. In addition to chatting and answering questions, Tania regularly posts additional tips, resources, and even challenges that come with great prizes. One past student emailed us this weekend saying, “I always feel like I get extra bang for my buck with Tania’s classes.”

6 lessons cover the following topics.

* In Raw Form
focusing on the basics of fabric shopping, appropriate adhesives, and incorporation of fabric onto your pages in raw form--without any extra fuss.

* Perfectly Polished
focusing on a variety of ways to stabilize fabric, substitute it for paper, and give it a a polished look that brings it center stage.

* Embellish It!
focusing on embellishing with fabric, making fabric embellishments, and recycling clothing.

*Ink it Up
focusing on ways to alter your fabric with ink, stamps, glitter and more, including tips on printing photos on fabric.

*Once Upon A Time
focusing on ideas for incorporating meaningful fabrics as memorabilia on your layouts and recycling appliqués and embroidery segments from clothing.

* How Do You Do?
focusing on ideas for creating fabric greeting cards and envelopes that are suitable for mailing.

Splash.Splosh.Splat Crop.arty ... postponed

..

So sorry ladies!!! I know, I know, we've not had an { open } Crop.arty for eons!!! And I thought: why not have some fun since we'll have loads of photos and memories to scrap from the summer and school holiday breaks? why not have some BIG messy splash.splosh.splat
fun with canvas, fabric, paint, gesso, moulding paste, distressing ink, dimensional pearls, golden acrylic paints, gel mediums and bla.. bla.. blah...

yes! the point is to get down-and-dirty with the
splash.splosh.splat
this 22nd August 2009

with inspiration from Donna Downey (attended her class this year, if some of you recall).
And so I thought, I'll share some fun techniques I've learned {and additional ones experimented with some of the gals that came around recently to use the Tools Centre and Crop.Room.
.
but
errr... now I've got this @#$% appointment with the dentist and it looks like my tooth is gonna need more than moulding paste. :(

..

So, it appears we'll have to PUSH the 22nd August 2009 date BACK and perhaps do this in September 2009 instead.

Martha Stewart On Demand in Scrap-n-Crop.com

.
.

I’ve long been inspired by this iconic lady - Martha Stewart - and have been admittedly stalking the new Martha Stewart Crafts site for a little while now, waiting for it to sold beyond the shores of America.

.

So, you can imagine my delight when I received confirmation that Scrap-n-Crop.com can carry the Martha Stewart line of scrapbooking items in Malaysia.
.
.

I’m so excited to see that the paper items and craft projects on the Martha Stewart Crafts site retain the understated elegance that for which Martha Stewart is known and that we are able to offer Martha Stewart Crafts line online soon.
.
The craft projects, gift wrap, and tissue paper pom poms are tops on my list, though I’m sure I’d take one of everything if I could, and throw in the elegant punches, patterned papers and heaps of embellishments we all so love.
.

.

So, ladies, drool and dream no more! Scrap-n-Crop.com's Scrap.Abode will soon be looking like this - yeah, judging from my shopaholic tendencies and buying track records!!! :)

Hugs,

Val
