I will teach a Glimmer Mist Trinket box class- $30 (sorry no photo yet, I'm going to CHA summer and I am going to design with only the latest greatest newest colours that Tattered Angels comes out with!!!!)Come and play with the amazing colours of glimmer mist & fun screens out there. We will decorate a box, create our own flower colours and more fun stuff. Lot's of techniques. you will leave with a few fun projects.
We have a huge goal that we have been working towards with the support of so many. We want EVERY child in the hospital at Christmas to receive a ready made scrapbook album. We are going to give them albums that are made with so much love & kindness. All they have to do is add their own photos & journaling. We are also going to throw in stickers and fun stuff as well. If you would love to help in this adventure, we are looking for 8x8 or 6x6 pages. They can be very generic or themed if you like. Any amount is welcome.
Now down to the goodness...
will there be prizes??? of course!!!!! And this year since we are raising money for the children albums, we thought why not have a mini album theme??? Sounds like fun hey? So here's how it goes,
Mini Album Contest- share with us your favourite mini album, we will put them on display for people to peruse.
Layout contest- bring a colour photocopy of your favourite layout to share.
Card Contest- we thought that we would make children's get well cards this time. They will be given to the recipients of our album, and any extras will be given to the hospital to give the children as they see fit. (THESE CARDS WILL NOT BE RETURNED)
And once again we will have fun fun fun prizes to purchase raffle tickets for. We've been gathering some fun amazing things. But of course we would love to hear what you want to see! We aim to please. As well, we haven't decided on the theme for a table decoration this year. We are looking for ideas, if you have any share!
So registration begins on June 15th. I will have links from this site as well as the saskatchewan scraps site.
Nothing will be available till that date, sorry!
