SEPTEMBER MONTHLY PACK
This month we have deferred our Monthly Pack due to a bit of Scrapville illness and preparations for the upcoming Scrapville Retreat. Apologies to those that will miss out this month, and we look forward to bringing you something exciting for the October Pack.
BLIND CROPVILLE
A little earlier than expected we have this month's Blind CropVille. Brought forward so as not to clash with RetreatVille, this class used lovely co-ordinated summery colours to tie in with a Father's Day theme. Lots of white space, which was challenging for some, a bit of bunting added in, some "light sewing", a bit of embossing with the Sizzix Texture Boutique and the Epic 6, and a fair bit of mounting up and inking.
My Dad by Sally Clark (CT)
Blind CropVille can be a little daunting for some, but the fact is you will get to try a few new techniques (and even a few older ones you'd forgotten about), and that just adds to the excitement. When you do a class where your interpretation is the key to each instruction given, this is what makes the layout more individual. We do not expect the layouts to be exact replica's of the Master Layout at the end, we just want you to enjoy the class and be happy with what you've accomplished.
EXTRA CLASSES
The next Blind CropVille in Myrtleford will be held on Thursday 20th October, at Ruby's Patchwork commencing 7pm. A deposit will be required when booking, and this can be paid at Scrapville, or to Carolyn at Ruby's. Your requirements list will be emailed out the Thursday prior to your BCV, giving you the weekend to get organized. Being privy to a sneak peek, you really don't want to miss this one girls!
WANDERVILLE
It's exactly what it says... wander on in! We have a regular Wednesday afternoon set aside for WanderVille, where you can come into the workshop at Scrapville and scrap, make your cards or look for inspiration. You can also use the time to do a catch-up class, so long as prior arrangements have been made. If you would like to tackle a challenge or two, pick up some ideas or get a little help making a start on that special project, we at Scrapville are happy to assist you when requested. And of course you can also enjoy a coffee or tea in the meantime, and find everything else you need to get it all done.
Wednesday, 14th September will be the LAST WANDERVILE for SEPTEMBER, after that, I'm still hoping you might......
CLASSES
We are just about winding up the Classes for the August & September Class Lists. The 4 Flower Technique Classes were very successful, and the girls are currently working on an advanced 5th Class.
Anyone wanting to do MakeUp Classes will be able to find these on the NEXT Class List.
Any NEW or Repeat Classes will be on the NEXT Class List, and also uploaded to the Newsletter Blog.
The Monthly Copic Club is going well, and the girls are producing some beautiful cards. We are coming up to our 3rd Month, and the girls are building on their Marker Stash and Techniques. I will be sharing some Show and Tell from the girls shortly.
The next Copic Club Class will be held out at RetreatVille, with the Class incorporating a Girls Night In Fundraiser for the Cancer Council, with Copic sponsoring some giveaway prizes. There will be other giveaways and games, so I hope those of you attending will get on-board this very worthy cause. KIDSVILLE CLASSES
