Children's School Holiday Classes

Just to let you know a little about my children's classes

Please note: I can supplement all of the following for boy colours if anybody is interested in booking their boys in. Preferable ages for the classes 7rys & up.

We have a lifestyle property out at Puketaha Rd not far from the corner of Gordonton Rd so we are very close to Rototuna. The children do not need to bring anything to the classes apart from the required photo depending on the project. You just need to drop your child off and pick up later, no need to stay. The children love the classes and enjoy being creative and meeting other kids. I have been teaching children's classes in Auckland where we also hold children's birthday parties in our Auckland store. I have a lot of patience and I love helping kids get creative.

I can only take cash, cheque or credit card, sorry eftpos not available yet.

To book in to one of the following classes please ph: Lisa on 07 8553273 or email me on scrapbookstudio@xtra.co.nz and I will reply with confirmation and directions.

We are using a variety of different quote stamps throughout the page, the theme is very versatile so should fit with any photos you want.

I have been away for the weekend down to Taupo to the Autumn Escape Convention. I feel refreshed, inspired and motivated!

I have two class samples that I will be posting sneak peeks very soon. One is using some gorgeous new papers from GCD Studios and the other from some fabulous new Webster's Pages. They are both single layouts but one is very special and put together in a way where you can display a few photos and journaling without the bulk.

The first LO from GCD Studios us using a mix of papers from the Homespun Chic Collection and the Artsy Urban Collection. Here are the papers I selected:

The next LO is made up from the gorgeous range of Webster's Pages using the Garden Gala range. Here are the papers from the collection from which some will be used on the Box Top Layout!

An exciting new blog!

Hello everybody and welcome to our new Scrapbook Studio blog. This is a place where we will feature classes and crops held in Hamilton. As some of you may know, my family and I have relocated in Hamilton. We have brought a lifestyle property on the outskirts of Hamilton near Huntington/Rototuna area very close to all amenities.

Having this property has given us the space we needed for our large family, my craft needs and also to hold classes. So you the customer will benefit not only Aucklanders who can still shop at Scrapbook Studio and attend classes but also Hamilton customers who can attend my classes for Adults and Children plus a small range of products will be available. Any other products can still be ordered as I head to Auckland a couple of times a week and can collect anything for you.

The classes I will be holding are going to range from beginners scrapbooking to intermediate, other 'one off' Adult technique classes plus children's classes over the holidays. I will also hold regular card classes plus I am also going to hold basic patchwork beginners classes and other small sewing projects from time to time.

Our store not only stocks the latest products in Scrapbooking, Pergamano & Rubberstamping but we also stock a large range of beautiful designer fabrics for patchwork & sewing. Most of the fabrics are designs you may not see in other local patchwork stores in Hamilton as a lot of our range is specialized for the younger more modern sewer.

This is going to be the place where you will check regularly for any upcoming classes held here in Hamilton. We are set in a private peaceful setting in Puketaha Rd. During classes you will have access to Cricut machines, Cuttlebug machines, Sewing machines plus loads of accessories if needed. Once set up I aim to hold monthly crops, depending on popularity we may hold them in a different Hamilton location, more information will follow.

This is an exciting venture and I hope you will enjoy participating in the classes I will have on offer over the next year!
