HINT OF THE WEEK!
Making a 12x12 album can be a daunting task, but they are beautiful and make fabulous gifts! Here are a few ideas:
*Use a Lickety Slip album from Bazzil Basics - these have little pockets for 6x4 photos so you can make up the album with a combination of 12x12 layouts and 'traditional' album pages
*Give the album as a gift and make a new 12x12 layout each Christmas (great for grandparents!)
*Have several people contribute to the album!

Flower Patch

Making Memories FLOWER PATCH range is gorgeous! We've had this glitter paper in store for awhile -its a feature of several of our kits!

Now I'm making it a part of our new 'Scrapbooking Techniques' classes that will be starting soon! We'll be using Flower Patch for our double-layout class:



You can buy the glitter paper on its own, but only the die-cuts, buttons and flowers in the kits. The Monthly kit comes like this, with flowers, butterflies, journalling page, buttons and die-cuts, along with two glitter papers (so you have plenty of butterflies to cut out!!) and matching cardstock. $12 per kit (or $10 in a subscription).

CLASSES: Make Your Own Embellishments

The papercraft industry is lucrative - a whirlwind shopping spree of papers, stickers, tools, storage options, brads and so much more! With ever-changing ranges, loads of fabulous top brands and millions of 'must-haves', being a consumer in this market is mind-boggling, addictive and expensive!

But you can create fabulous cards, layouts and projects on a budget! By being resourceful, creative and clever, you can turn the ordinary into extraordinary, take rubbish and recyle it into art, and save a lot of money while doing so!!

Scrapbooking on a Budget and Make Your Own Embellishments classes are on this weekend!!! Book your seat now!!

Make Your Own embellishments ($5 per person) will show you how to make 'wow' factor accents for your pages - and save a fortune! Make flowers, animals, stickers, customised brads and more from paper, ribbon and recycled materials! You'll never buy another flower again!

Scrapbooking on a Budget is a FREE demonstration/class and shows you how to make the most of what you've got! Beat the recession and make projects that are different, special and cheap!

THESE CLASSES WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14.
9am - Make Your Own Embellishments, $5 per person
10am - Scrapbooking on a Budget, FREE

BOOKINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!!!

Scrapbooking Kits

I have put together Monthly scrapbooking kits - these are small packs with matching embellishments and papers. Often I dont sell these embellishments seperately. The kits sell for $12 and are great value - a great way to add to your stash!

If you are interested in stepping outside your comfort zone, subscribe to the Moments monthly kits! (I am happy to mail-order these kits each month if you would like to subscribe). A six-month subscription costs $60 - save $12! (Mail order costs $80)- just jot me an email barleyandserene@gmail.com for our banking details and subscription form!!

Advent Calendars

The Kaisercraft Advent Calendar is simply gorgeous!!!

Aside from counting down the days till Christmas, you'll also find this off-the-page project is perfect for reward charts for kids or to give as a gift! The boxes are a generous size for hiding money, vouhcers, chocolates, lollies and messages! The limit is only your imagination!!

We currently have the Advent Calendar in stock - but they're going FAST! Buy the calendar for $40 or buy the whole kit to make the picture below for $55 - includes bauble, bling, and papers! Just add paint and you're away!

We made this as part of the Christmas Extravaganza - but I have to warn you - this project does not lend itself to a class, as it takes a bit to put together (and since crops and classes are for chatting, you cant work and talk and achieve big projects all at the same time!).

This is the Kaisercraft team's project ABOVE, and the one they feature in the magazine - also instore!! The picture below is MY take on it - we used the luxurious and traditional Belle collection - also available now!

New Papers!

New papers have *just* arrived today - and last week I had another massive box with new albums, papers and other embellishments!!! VERY EXCITING - feels like Xmas has come early!!

With Xmas just around the corner, NOW is the time to get organised and think about making cards and gifts! If you missed our Xmas Extravaganza, dont panic as I have some big plans for the coming months!!!!

I have loads of NEW Christmas ranges - papers, matching embellishments, stickers, ribbons and flowers!!!

Glass effects/dimensional magic for that extra 'oomph!'

Flowers and buttons galore!!!

New refills - at a great price! Along with some new albums including D-ring and post-bound........

NEW!! Thickers - foam, puffy and chipboard - and VERY cool colours - perfect for summer!


The Kaisercraft ADVENT calendar - more in stock!!!

Just sooooo much stuff!! So very very exciting!! You need to come along and see for yourself - the range is expanding almost every week!!!


New kits are on their way along with new storage folders (I sold out!!)
