HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY

Classes Launch

Firstly I would like to say WELCOME TO TWENTY TEN everyone. I hope you had a fantastic time over the Christmas/ New Year break. I personally had a wonderful time. It was truly magical and the best experience for both my husband and I was having a little one to share this special time with. Here is my favourite pic from the day. Our little man venturing into his stocking (bag). Well it is FINALLY here!! The launch of my

Scrapbooking classes.

I have been busily working over the last month to set this all up and apologise to my blog followers for the lack of new posts over this time.

The following classes are the first that will commence as of next month. Kits can also be purchased of the classes once they have been run.

'Sneak Peak' of the Christmas Time layout.


In this class you will be creating this layout to display some of your new Christmas photos! It suits both a boy or girl family or couple photos. You will be using embellishment to jazz up what is an easy layout to re-create!

Class is for 2 hours and costs $ 20

Sneak Peak of the 'Off Shore' Explosion Album
In this class you will be using Kaisercraft 'Off Shore' paper range and embellishments to make a mini album approx 10cm x 10cm which, when open, is larger than a 12 x 12 layout. It is great fun putting it together and even more fun opening and closing it. The paper is well suited to water themes such as a day at the beach, pool or bath time.

Class is for 3 hours and costs $30


Sneak Peak of 'MY BOY' Layout
In this class you will be recreating this 12 x 12 layout. You will be learning about distressing using sanding; hand and machine stitching (and don't worry all you non sewers, we are starting rather simple with this one), as well as using ink to re-create a sanded look. This layout could suit both a boy or girl, as there will be both lettering options.

Class is for 2 hours and costs $15


'Twiddleybitz Easel' off the page project

In this class you will be decorating this beautiful easel from Twiddleybitz using exquisite embellishments by Prima. You have the choice of making the small easel or the large easel. The small easel will fit an 8 x 8 layout displayed, while the large easel will fit a 12 x 12 layout. In this class you will be applying layering and shown how to get the most out of Prima flowers and vines. This piece will make a great addition to your house or as a gift to someone special.


The class is for 2 hours and costs $50 (large) $30 (small)
**Layout shown in the picture is not included in the class

Full class details can be obtained by e-mailing me at beck@bceng.com.au
Class times available are: Tuesday Day & Wednesday Night, Thursday Night, and occasional Saturdays.

Crop night

I will also be holding Crop night where you can come and work on your own projects once a
month.

First Date: Friday 5th February
Time: 6pm - 11pm
Cost: $10

Spaces are limited. Bookings and payment will need to be made prior to the night.

On this night you can also view the full class pieces for that month and upcoming months (as these are completed). For those not participating in the crop, you are more than welcome to drop in between 6-8pm to view the upcoming classes in real life on this night, just e-mail me prior so we know to expect you.

I really am looking forward to meeting some new people, so please don't be afraid to come along on your own to either the crop or a class. It will be a great way meet some other Scrappers!!

Classes Classes Classes

Well I may not have been as busy doing as much scrapbooking as I would like... including making cards for Christmas, but I have been busy getting organised to teach classes from next year. I am looking to commence these as of late January next year.

So if you are looking to learn some new/different techniques or simply an excuse to get out of the house and socialise with other scrapbookers, I will be providing a place to do it!

Class details will be uploaded shortly, in the mean time if you are interested please e-mail me at beck@bceng.com.au and I will send you the details directly and add you to my mailing list for futher classes.


In the mean time, here are some cute Chrissy cards I recently made.


If I don't get to blogging again before the end of the week, have a Great Christmas everyone!!

Christmas is nearly HERE!!

Yes, it is that time of year again. Surprisingly you would think things would be stopping me from getting my scrapbooking done... but no! We have actually re-arranged the house so that I can get more done! How GREAT is that. In the midst of the reorganisation I managed to get my DT pack from Tomorrow's Memories finished. It will be sent off in the morning, so no doubt you will be able to check them out sometime next week when they arrive in Perth!

I was lucky enough to receive some more Daisy Bucket papers to work with. I had the "Merry Wishes' range which was SO easy to work with. I'm still enjoying the double stitching on my work which I started doing about a year ago when decorating my son's room... it is great because you don't have to be exact about it... which USUALLY would drive me insane not to be absolutely perfect, but I am learning to relax more and just do things more freehand...

Hope you like what I created.

Austin update

Well I am currently still working on some new stuff for Tomorrow's Memories, they are taking me longer than I would like but I am getting there and will show soon!

In the mean time I thought I would share some photos I took of my little man yesterday. They were taken of him with the toy his dad bought for him while we were in hospital and matches his room so they will be up in his room real soon. I had some real fun taking them and changed them to sepia to match in better with the colours of his room.

Paperific 2009

I was fortunate enough to go to Paperific on the weekend and it was fantastic. The Twiddleybitz stand was buzzing the whole time!! It was so great to meet a heap of lovely customers and have the opportunity teach make and takes and do a demo of the Large easel and some Christmas Santa keys. Here are some photos of my day there.

These are of the Twiddleybitz stand taken at the end of the day when I could get a chance without the swarms of people!


Bit of a closer one of the Santa keys I decorated...

This is the easel that I had the pleasure of doing displaying a layout I completed last year for SIA.

Just loved those Prima flowers and glass beads I used on this. Oh and one of Sherry's flowers - they are SOOO pretty Sherry!
Here is a couple of close up's of the work I did for the show...

This is my curly Christmas tree, I loved doing this one... covered in embossing powder, bling (hard to see in the photo) and crystals.

This is the new floating frame I completed as well, complete with my son's 12 week old footprints and hand prints (scanned and printed onto bazzil cardstock)

Sorry about the small amount of posting lately, I am sure I will get in to a rhythm real soon!!

PAPERIFIC IS HERE!!!

Sorry I have not been blogging lately. I am sure I will get back into the swing of things real soon! Austin is 6 months old on Monday and we have FINALLY finished the cold yo yo between the two of us that lasted 2 months! Of course this put me behind AGAIN... but I have been busy creating stuff for TM and Twiddleybits which I will share real soon.



BUT in the mean time if you want to see some of my recent work and work by the other girls on Twiddleybitz's design team, come check us out at Paperific this weekend. We are at booth 11. I will be doing some make and takes today and would love to see you and have a chat!

Enjoy your weekend everyone, and in the mean time I will share a new photo of my beautiful boy!

Yes he is sitting really well now and loves the new view on the world!

Have a great weekend everyone, and I will post some new stuff shortly!!

Daisy Bucket Wall at TM

Last month I sent back my DT work for Tomorrow's Memories, and they decided to make them a part of a feature wall for Daisy Bucket. I was thrilled to know this and just wish I could be there to see it in person. The girls were nice enough to send me a photo which I will share with you all. I absolutely LOVE Daisy bucket papers as they just seem to bring out the best in my scrapping!!

So if you are wanting to get some Daisy Bucket supplies and you are in Perth, head down to Tomorrow's Memories in Bassendean because as you can see by this photo they have heaps of their stock!!

First Steps in Life - Twiddleybitz 'Foot Book'

Ok so I have been really bad at keeping my blog updated. Truth is I have had a VERY busy month with a not well little man. He is finally on the mend now and as soon as I am back up to date with everything I will be back into some more scrapping!

I have managed a little scrapping in this time and it was great to reflect on Austin's life so far! He is 5 months old tomorrow so I have still to add some photos into the book to finish it (the last month, as this book is of his first 6 months) but I thought I would share it anyway.

I have used 'My Minds Eye' - Breaking free paper, which might I add I LOVE!! I think that this brand of paper is quickly becoming a favourite of mine.

Now I just need to get my hands on another one of these books to do the next six months!!

New Twiddleybitz Design Team announced!

Yes.... finally the new team has been announced and I am so pleased to be able to say that I have been given another stint! The team is filled with some wonderfully talented ladies. Links to their blogs have been updated on my side bar.

Please check out the Design team blog for a new competition to win some of these yummy chipboard pieces to use on your next scrapbooking creation!

Layout for SIA

Hope you are having a good week.

Earlier this year I was asked to submit a Layout for Twiddleybitz for the competition at SIA. I realised I had not shared this one on my blog.... so thought it about time. It is another for my wedding album that is slowly getting done. I have used some yummy twiddlybitz pieces (of course!!) and Basic Grey paper.

I struggled at the the time to get it done as I couldn't find my mojo... but it is amazing what a deadline will do... mojo was found and Layout done in a night!
