First class of January 2011

A mini book on a layout? Yes, just a little one though. Perfect for hidden journaling or a few extra pictures.There are a few Sizzix dies used on this layout, including a couple from Tim Holtz's Alterations collection. As you can see from my post below, I have a few and I am sure most will end up being used on layouts throughout this year. Papers are from Basic Grey's Curio collection.
Class is this Wednesday January 12th at 11:30 AM and on Sunday January 16TH at 1PM.
Students are asked to bring their basic tool kit including an ink blending tool and craft mat plus either a glur stick or glue for adhering paper to chipboard. Your own BigShot or Vagabond would be helpful.
Please contact Scrapalicious at 905-614-0085 to register.

Sizzix die storage in Ikea DVD/CD Shelving unit

Looking for a storage option for all you Sizzix and Alterations dies?

 Looking for a storage option for all you Sizzix and Alterations dies?

This DVD/CD unit from Ikea works great. 

Holds aproximately 100 dies (depends on what sizes you have).

Cost $40 Cdn. I also purchased a magnetic message board for all my movers & shapers. 

Hint...there are quite a few new ones being released at CHA. :-)

No, I won't tell you what they are until January 20th.

Since I have a few new organizational pieces added to my scraproom, I decided to do a major clean up and reorganization. I will post pictures soon. I still have a million little pieces of  everything to find a home for.

 I may have to edit.

It's a Steampunk sort of Christmas...

Class is today, Sunday December 12th at 1pm.

Bring your BigShot if you have one as there is a fair amount of die cutting involved.
You will need your basic tool kit and a variety of adhesives and as always, your ink blending tool and craft mat. There are still a couple of spots, store opens at noon, class starts at 1pm. Call the store or come a little earlier if you need to register.

It's a Steampunk sort of Holiday...

That is right. Steampunk inspired December layout for this Sunday December 12 at 1PM.
These are just a few of the elements that will be add to the layout. There is going to be lots to do, lots of die cutting, lots of embossing, painting, inking, cutting... And it is more than just paper as there will be AC's fantastic glitter paper, Glitz Design's patterned paper, chipboard, corrugate board, wire, Tim Holtz Ideology pieces and who know what more? I guess you will need to come back and see what else I am adding. Oh, and did I mention I have this fantastic new stamp from Harmonie that is 6x9" that we will be using. You will just have to come back and see which one it is.

Thought you might want a peek at the Letterbox Holiday Tray 

that is for this Sunday December 5th.

I am still playing with a few ideas and embellishments but this will give you the just of 

what we will be doing in this class. There is a fair amount of stamping and embossing, 

some resist techniques - some old and some new, a little alcohol ink and...

 the rest you will just need to come to the class to find out. :-)

All the embellishments you see on this tray are included except for the tin. If you want to include it you will need to stop by your local Starbucks and pick one up. There are a few flavours so pick your favourite, the colour of the tin does not matter. All the label will be sanded off. What matters is the size! 

Here is a picture of what the tin looks like before it was altered.

Class starts at 1pm and goes to 4pm but you will have until 5pm to finish and clean up.
