CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

WANDERVILLE

WanderVille is somewhere you can come on a Wednesday afternoon to Create. Join your friends, make new ones, or just enjoy the space to get those lingering projects finished. You can shop, and Janet is happy to offer assistance should you need a hand. No bookings required.

CROPVILLE
CropVille is set out as a time to come in and join your friends, make new ones, or just enjoy the space to Crop. Bring along your tool kit and adhesives to Scrap, Make Cards or work on your Off The Page projects. There are 8 places available, and the night is a very motivational and inspiring experience, with ideas & techniques being passed around the table. The shop will be open and you can also use the Cricut (with your own mat). Coffee & Tea will be provided.

BLIND CROPVILLE

“Cropping Blind”. This class is a kitted class run with Step x Step instructions, the only difference is that you are to interpret the instructions given. This simply means that you will make your own decision based on the instruction, about where and how to place your “bits”. Each attendee will be given a Requirements List, which will include the type/size of photo and theme (if any), and any extra products/tools that you may be instructed to use (such as sanding/inking/distressing/stitching). The shop will be open for you to purchase any additional requirements prior to and after class, and a 10% discount is applicable to all Class Specific Technique Products.

At the end of the night the Master Layout will be revealed for everyone to see. This is a very fun filled night, and Coffee/Tea will also be provided.

COPIC CLUB

The Scrapvile Copic Club runs for a period of 4x monthly classes, with an optional 5^th Advanced Class. During these classes Members will learn about how versatile these markers are, and discover how to obtain the best results by learning their techniques. Each Copic Club Class will include a Kit with markers and your monthly notes. Other products will also be added, depending on the class being run. Members will be given product discounts, and also offered an optional “Add On” each class. This “Add On” includes discounted Copic products and accessories only exclusive to Copic Club Members. Coffee/Tea will be provided.

2013 CALENDAR LAYOUTS

The aim for this class is to create a 12x12 layout to go on your annual 2013 calendar. Working throughout the year at a monthly class to create each new page, you will have your special calendar ready for the new 2013 year, or ready for gifting to that special person at Christmas. The creation of your calendar will include a variety of techniques, and pages that are designed by the Instructor and the Creative Team girls. Coffee/Tea will be provided.

OFF THE PAGE

SCRAP STASH BOX - ALTERED DESKTOP BOX

Now who can’t use a bit more storage at their fingertips that’s created by you, and blends in with the colours and style of your scrapping space? If not, what a great gift idea for that crafty/scrappy person. Come along and create an off the page object using several different techniques.

for these two classes are the use of stamping, the different types of inks/stamp pads, how to emboss on a card or layout, and the use of embossing folders, cutting dies, quilling and gate folds. The class will outline what each method is, and how it is used. You will come away from this class with something new and exciting. Coffee/Tea will be provided.

FLOWER TECH CLASSES

The Flower Tech classes are run over 4 weeks, with an optional 5^th Advanced Flower Technique Class at the end. Each week you will learn to make a variety of handmade flowers, putting each one onto a handmade card to take home. Your flowers will be more advanced each class, trying new techniques and methods. You will be given instructions at each class with your class kit.

Any further requirements will be advised prior to the class. Coffee/Tea will be provided.

BRING YOUR CRICUT

This is a hands on demonstration night that will walk you through the full use of your Cricut Machine and all it’s functions. You will take part in each process as it is demonstrated. You will need to bring your own Cricut Machine, Mat, scrap paper and a full length 6x4 photo of someone (to CUT). (A cartridge with fonts is also advisable.) Coffee/Tea will be provided.

GRUNGE LAYOUTS

These classes will run throughout the year, with different techniques and styles for each layout. Once the classes are announced a sample will be provided in-store for you to see so that you can prepare you photos. Our Grunge layouts are also labeled under “Heritage”, and the colour theme’s and styles will be similar. Any further requirements will be advised prior to the class. Coffee/Tea will be provided.

KIDSVILLE – SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLASSES

During the School Holidays we will be running KidsVille Classes. The little people will need to bring their Basic Tool Kit & Adhesives, and will produce a layout or card, as specified on the class list. A Beginner Starter Kit will also be available to purchase to help them get started, and will contain all the Basics.

There will be a free Crop after the class if time permits. Please ensure your child is of an age to follow instruction, and be competent with a trimmer, scissors and adhesive.

RULES

Scrapville reserves the right to ensure all class participants are given an enjoyable and comfortable class environment. Scrapville does not permit photos to be taken of samples or display items. Where Scrapville runs exclusive classes and Blind CropVilles, you will not be permitted to take notes during these classes. For the purpose of the Blind CropVille, any participants considered “naughty” or unable to follow instruction will be bumped for one month. Should you have any queries please speak with the Manager.

JANUARY 2012 NEWSLETTER

Hello everyone, and welcome to Scrapville's January Newsletter, and our first for 2012. We're looking forward to some changes this year, and hope that these will bring a taste of something new and exciting for you all.

CREATIVE TEAM
The first of our changes are our three new Creative Team Members. We hope you get to know Anita, Claire and Deb all a little better as you are awed and inspired by their creativity. Continuing on the Team is Sally, who will continue to take our Blind Cropville's to the limit, and inspire you all with her hands on classes and scrapping skills. Each of these ladies has wonderful talent to share with us all, and I am especially looking forward to seeing their creations each month.

SKETCH CHALLENGES
Well our December/January Sketch Challenge has only a few days to go, so the countdown to Pumpkin Time is on! Jump on board people and let's see what you have come up with for this one. We have an assortment of Sketch Challenges in so far, and I am very keen to see what else you can come up with before this one finishes. I am sure there are still a few more to come in yet! The Pumpkin is ticking girls!!!

JANUARY MONTHLY PACK
Our January Monthly Pack is up and running, and for those of you who like a bit of Kraft, you're going to love this one! We have chosen the Kraft - Fun Day range from My Minds Eye. This has an assortment of Kraft papers, along with the usual range of goodies added in. Be sure to pick yours up before you miss out.

If you want to be in the running for a Monthly Pack Challenge Prize, then pick up a Monthly Pack and start creating. You must use only the products in the pack, although you may use techniques such as inking, painting, stitching, punching, Glimmer Misting etc, and be sure to have your Layout in by Midnight on 31st January.

PACK SUBSCRIPTIONS
If you would like to Subscribe to our Monthly Packs, please call into the store or email Janet for details. The Subscription options are for either a 6 month or 12 month period. P&H is applicable for those that are not able to pick up their Monthly Subscription from the Wodonga store.

BLIND CROPVILLE
Woo Hoo it's back!! Our first BCV is running this month, and I'm sure you will be in for more surprises this year. We have made some changes to the classes, so take note of the following:
At Scrapville our first class will commence at 2pm, the second class will commence at 7pm. Both classes will run for two and a half hours and start with a coffee or tea.
Bookings are essential, and a list of your photos and requirements will be emailed to you prior to the weekend before the classes.
Our next BCV will be on Saturday, 21st January, and then from February they will run the second Saturday of every month. Please ensure you book in and pay your deposit.

WANDERVILLE
Regular Wednesday afternoons are still set aside for WanderVille at Scrapville. Here you can "Wander on in" to Scrapville and scrap, make your cards, finish off those special projects or look for a bit of inspiration for that next creation. You can also use the time to do a catch-up class, so long as prior arrangements have been made. WanderVille starts at 1pm, and finishes up at 4pm.
I really hope you might ........

CLASSES
The January to April Class lists are being uploaded to the Newsletter Blog. Make sure you go and have a look so that you can check out the class times and dates. We have a variety of new classes, with more to be added as we firm up details. Please note all classes require a booking and deposit.

COPIC CLUB
The Scrapville Copic Club is set to commence once again in February 2012. The Club runs for a period of 4x monthly classes, with an optional 5th Advanced Class. During these classes Members will learn about how versatile these markers are, and discover how to obtain the best results by learning their techniques. Each Copic Club Class includes a Kit with markers and monthly notes. Other products will also be added, and are dependant on the class techniques being run.

KIDSVILLE HOLIDAY CLASSES
Anyone interested in signing the Little People up for classes over the holidays, please contact Janet. If you have an enthusiastic young group of 4 or more, you can enquire about a group booking. All Little People attending classes are required to have a Basic Tool Kit. Please contact Janet to make other arrangements if they don't have one, as sharing between 2 or 3 can be too time consuming during classes.

CREATIVE TOOTS!
I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Claire Apostoloff on being published in the Masters Edition of Australian Scrapbooking Memories, and for also receiving an Honorable Mention. Well done, great work.

I would also like to congratulate local scrapper Anthea English for also being published in the Masters Edition of Australian Scrapbooking Memories. Anthea was also a Guest on the Scrapville Creative Team, and we are pleased that her wonderful work is being acknowledged.
Congratulations and well done girls.
