Introducing a new class from Yvette

Friday 15th August, 2008

It's with great pleasure I introduce Yvette's first class here with us @Home called USE YOUR STASH. We have had a great response already - even though we are only just starting to advertise the class. Thank you!!



Join Yvette as she shows you how to create TWO quick and easy layouts using up all those scrapbook supplies you have accumulated. Book into the USE YOUR STASH workshop here.

Hurry! Registrations closing soon.

Wednesday 13th August, 2008

With the Tarisota kits shipping from today and our @Home with Tarisota class officially kicking off in just one week, your time is running out to secure your place in this brand new workshop. Here @Home we have teamed up with Tarisota, Australia's leading scrapbook kit supplier to bring you a fun, fresh class called SHEER INSPIRATIONS.

Our project focuses on the Maya Road sheer scroll album BUT you don't need to purchase the Tarisota kit OR the Maya Road sheer album to complete this class. Only ONE of our Support Team girls had access to the Tarisota kit. The others all used a variety of products and supplies to complete their projects - and with amazing results. We can't wait to show off our mini books!!! PLUS we welcome Mel Goodsell, representing Tarisota and joining our team as a guest designer for this workshop - wait until you see her sample! It's gorgeous.

Places are limited so hurry. Registrations close midnight 19 August 2008 and the class will officially open on 20 August.

Have you seen Kim's first video demo?

Friday 4th July, 2008

In celebration of Helen's wonderful Fresh Vintage style layouts, I created my own version of a fresh vintage layout. And what's more, I have turned it into my first video tutorial.

Here's my layout below and my step by step video tutorial

Fresh Vintage 2 - NEW workshop

Friday 4th July, 2008

After the runaway success of Helen Karanfilovski's very first FRESH VINTAGE scrapbooking class here on the @Home site, we are thrilled to announce she has prepared a Fresh Vintage sequel to share with us all.

FRESH VINTAGE 2 is here!

And it's another delicious sample packed with vintage goodness and lots of interactive bits and pieces. Check out Helen's fabulous Try This workshop here.



 

Behind the Scenes

Friday 4th July, 2008

We've been busy working hard behind the scenes to bring you BEHIND THE SCENES - a fresh new Try This workshop. In this workshop you will get not one, not two but THREE layout projects!!

 

One of my fave things is to create scrapbook pages with interactive bits..like hidden journaling and flippy, flappy pieces that can lift up or open out to reveal lots of stuff underneath!! I know..not so practical when slotted into an album as you have to pull the entire layout out to check it all out. BUT I LIKE THAT IDEA!! I like exploring pages with lots of hidden things and this class is all about hidden journaling!!

There's TWO step by step layouts in the classroom PLUS as an added bonus I am thrilled to be able to offer you the project in PDF format from my recent face to face class for Scrap Direct here in Newcastle, Australia. And there's loads of samples to share from the Support Team girls too. BOOK IN HERE.

What's in the Box?

Thursday 5th June, 2008

What's inside each of our beautifully wrapped and presented gift boxes?? Come along and find out.

This workshop is jam packed with ideas, projects, gift wrap goodness and a scrapbooking layout project. PLUS we've assembled a group of GUEST DESIGNERS who have been busily creating lots of greeting cards and tags to share in our What's in the Box  showcase.

Unwrapping from 10 June 2008. Book in here.

NEW TRY THIS WORKSHOP!!

Friday 30th May, 2008

Join Helen Karanfilovski as she explores creative ways of adding Fresh Vintage goodness to your scrapbook pages.

 

Using a collection of eclectic finds such as vintage lace, book paper, masking tape, paint and other findings, Helen will show you step by step how to create your own Fresh Vintage masterpiece.

And the Support Team girls have been working hard to create additonal samples to share with you. Plus we take a peek at several of Helen's latest Fresh Vintage layouts.

Fresh Vintage is all about sourcing eclectic and unusual bits and pieces for your layouts and we've done the hard work for you and sourced and assembled a number of Fresh Vintage kits. The kits contain an assortment of goodies including fabric strips, lace, braid, ribbon, tags, bookpaper, buttons etc. 

While these strictly limited edition kits would make the perfect partner for Helen's class they do not contain the items Helen has used in her sample and weren't designed specifically for Helen's project. They were designed as an introduction to using Fresh Vintage supplies.

The kits will be listed over this coming weekend so keep you eye on the shop area for updates.
