You can book in to Karen Shady's workshop on our stand also.. Here's the low down


Join Karen on a fun filled journey into mixed media, texture, and layering. In this technique focused workshop, you will learn how to use inks, embossing powders, texture paste, gesso, masks, and stamping to create beautiful and individual backgrounds you will use again and again. Then decorate your unique backgrounds using a selection of hessian, muslin, flowers, beautiful papers and more. This 12 x 12 layout would be perfect to showcase most photos, from masculine, and feminine, to heritage, wedding, holiday or outdoors. The class kit contains: a jar of Stampendous antique embossing enamel (valued at $9.00) Lots of new release Kaisercraft papers, Beautiful manor House Creations flowers, leaves, hessian, metal embellishments, muslin, and loads more. The class costs $35.00, and you can book online HERE, or you can book at the show, on the day (places permitting)..

And, now for some really exciting news...  What is a show without show bags, right?. On our stand, we will also be selling loads of incredible show bags.. We have layout, and card bags, featuring 8 to 12 papers in each, along with a huge amount of co coordinating embellishments in each pack, so all the hard work is done for you. We will also have bulk flower and chipboard packs. AND THE BEST PART OF ALL

 

All the show bags will be at wholesale prices.. that's right, not retail.... WHOLESALE !! 

You would save your Paperific entry fee on one show bag alone. So, its well worth making the trip...

 

We will also have layout and OTP kits for sale, complete with full instructions, from designers

Karen Shady and Michelle Grant..

 

We really look forward to seeing you there (stand # 31)

We have some exciting things happening here on our blog over the next few weeks. Firstly, we have decided to extend the cut off date for our EARLY BIRD SPECIALS to SEPTEMBER 30TH.. We have decided to do this for 2 reasons.. Firstly, due to the delay in our class sneak peaks (due to product delays etc) , plus, we are attending Paperific Expo in Melbourne on the last weekend in August, and would love to be able to offer those ladies who book at the show, the same great deal. Click on the link, to see the great offers available 'EARLY BIRD SPECIALS'


secondly, very soon, we will be introducing our monthly sketch competition. Our talented tutor MAGGIE ARMSTRONG has created a gorgeous sketch for you, which we will be revealing in the next few days, and you will want to play along with this, as there are some amazing prizes to be won, from a few of our sponsors (more details soon)..


We will be sharing sneak peaks of our workshops for our 2014 retreat, here very soon. Michelle, Stephanie, and Maggie are busy working their magic, and will be ready to share very soon. Please keep an eye out here and on our facebook page for the announcement.
