Create On Ormond

Hello everyone it's been a while since our last blog and the reason being that  we have been very busy creating and organising wonderful and varied papercraft  classes for you to do.  Scrapbooking and craft in general has a funny way of bringing people together. Last week I met Ruth, a wonderful lady from Adelaide (my home town) and after chatting for a while we discovered we went to the same school at the same time, she was even in my brothers year!  Ruth started scrapping 13 years ago and had her own shop in Adelaide for 3 years. Due to health reasons she had to give the shop up and so continued her addiction to scrapbooking from home where she continues to teach. Ruth describes her style as Shabby Chic/vintage as she  favours everything old worldly and is drawn to colours tones and textures of this look and her other love is dimension..... Many of you have commented on our Mixed Media Canvas in the shop and would love to learn how this technique is accompli...

Thank you to all of you who took part in our school holiday programs. I thought I would let you see the great artwork done by these lovely girls at the Friday canvas class. Each girl had their own idea as to how they would decorate their canvas and as you can see by the photos they really  had some fun ideas...Thanks girls for a great day...

They can be bought in A4, A5 DL or C6 package sizes and are excellent value for money...They really suit colouring of some kind, so if you are into markers inks or pencils then take a look at these stamps.....

Starting first week back of the school holidays we are running a weekly card class to suit all levels of card makers. Kerry Durston designs then creates her own unique style of card that will be sure to impress you and your card recipients..The card classes will be two hours on Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm. Designs may include 3D, mechanical and construction aspects.  Some trimming, scoring, folding, colouring and gluing all leading to a bit of 'WOW' when they are taken out of the envelope when you give them away. Here is the sample for the first class, a pull up design Kerry created.  The papers are from the new October Afternoon Cakewalk collection.  Stars optional.                                          The card classes will run for 6 weeks and you can do as many as you like....but if you do all 6 classes you will receive ...
