A message from the Vic Masters and an announcement

It has been such an amazing time getting around in our towns and teaching to all the lovely ladies that came along and had lots of fun with us.  We had locals, regulars, interstaters and some that may as well have been from interstate!  All brought together by the desire to learn some of our techniques and we are ever so grateful for you all!

We want to also take some time again to thank our wonderful sponsors:

Kaisercraft
Scrappy Chat Designs
Twiddleybitz
2Crafty Chipboard
A Piece of Cake Designs

Click on the links above to be taken to their websites for more inspiration and to see what they are all about.

So with all that said, there are many that would have LOVED to come along, so we thought we would make up some extra kits for those that weren't able to, of which we have limited numbers for sale.

Kits are $35 each or $100 for all three + postage (at cost) for the kits.  If you want to purchase more than one, we are getting together at the Manor House Retreat 4-6th October and can bring them there to give to you or we will get them together then and post out the week following.  E-mail any of us to puchase them - addresses on the left side bar.

Here are the layouts you too can have fun creating!

We would also love to she some of the pics from the tour - we had a blast and hope you all did too!

This wont be the end of this blog either, we will use it to keep you updated as to what we are up to with regard to events and teaching.  Also don't forget to follow our blogs for more inspiration (there are links on our names above our layouts that will take you straight there) and happenings :)

First Tour Stop Success

Hello scrappy friends! :)

Well let me tell you about what a great day we had last Saturday.

It was the first stop in our Victorian Masters Tour at

Kaisercraft Geelong Outlet.

It really was a lot of fun sharing and teaching with a great group of ladies. 

On behalf of Beck, Heather and myself thank you to each and everyone.

Many of you mentioned you had learnt heaps of new techniques and tips

and we couldn't be happier with that.

Here are some pictures of how the day went.

Who doesn't love a give away?!

Big thanks to 

A Piece of Cake Designs

Twiddleybitz

Kaisercraft 

Scrappy Chat Designs

2Crafty Chipboard

Quite a few of the ladies mentioned some of the things 

they learnt were quite different from their usual style of scrapbooking

and had definitely been pushed to experiment with new techniques.

We hope you all continue to explore new things and 

enjoy the creative process.

Our next event is on the 24th of August at 

The Imagination Factory in Ballarat.

Please message any one of us if you're interested in attended any of

our classes we'd love to hear from you.

Hello Ladies!

Guess What?!

IT’S GIVEAWAY TIME!

We’re giving away free stuff! Yep, free. But there’s a catch.

As you know Saturday is the first day of our Victorian Masters Tour and it’s at Geelong. We still have a few spots left so if you can help us fill those spots you will be rewarded with a bag of goodies. If you get one person to go you get one bag of goodies. If you get three people to go you get three bags of goodies.

So help spread the word! Share this info on your blog or facebook or just call or text your friends. When they book, tell them to say you sent them and we’ll get the goodie bags to you. 

Quick! 

There’s not much time!

Everything is organised and Saturday is going to be a great day

of teaching, scrapbooking and fun! 

There will be a giveaway during each class with some lovely goodies donated by our sponsors,

and a BBQ lunch is provided for those staying the whole day.

Just so you get an idea of what you will be creating with, we decided to 

share some pictures of each Class' kit.
