Hello everyone, welcome to our April Newsletter.
This is turning out to be a rather busy month for Scrapville, with Easter, Anzac Day and school holidays all falling during the month. Please ensure you check all our class or crop dates, as we may have had to make some changes. Our New instructors are settling in, and being met with lots of praise and excitement. Call in and see our Class and Off The Page samples. We are excited about our latest Mixed Media classes, and will have the first couple up for display shortly. Scrapville will be introducing more new & exciting things shortly, so stay tuned.

SKETCH CHALLENGES
Janet has put up the Sketches for us all this month, with more of a masculine themed challenge in mind. As with all our Sketch Challenges, they are open to interpretation, so you CAN make them girly if you like, just ensure they are recognizable in respect to the challenge rules. All entries are due in Pumpkin Time, April 30th.

We will be running these classes Monthly, so if you're up to getting into an assortment of paints, sprays, texture pastes, masks, inks, emphera and more, then this is where you need to be!
Be prepared to get messy, just in case! - it's very hands on and the techniques are awesome.

CROPVILLE
Saturday 26th April
6.30pm to 11.30pm......ish
April is a little tricky this month, with holidays and Easter, so please check instore and the Blog for current dates. We will follow our Mixed Media Technique class on this date, so anyone choosing to stay on for the night can do so for 50% off!
CropVille's are a great way to get out for the night and find some time for you doing a bit of creating. It's a casual night with a friendly mix of girls to keep you company, and it's often a very productive time, especially when there just doesn't seem like enough hours in the day!
We can take up to 10 if you have your own group that would like to come together, I just need you to book it separately. We'd love to see you there.
CLEARANCE SALE
We have a whole section of Clearance & Sale Items we're keen to clear, so check these items out. We want to make room for more stock, so why not have a wander over in that direction! Plenty for you to browse through.
