Best of Blossie's 2008

 

Have you ever wanted to come to a Blossie's class but haven't found the time?  With our exciting new "Best of Blossie's 2008" disc you can have access to past classes whenever you want at the click of a button.

 

Our Blossie's teachers put a lot of time and effort into preparing classes so you get maximum inspiration. We've collated the best scrapbooking layouts, cards and projects from our 2008 classes on one disc. With clear photos including close ups of details and hints and tips, you can view or print our ideas as much as you want.

 

With several new classes being offered each month, there's plenty of inspiration!

 

We are still taking pre-orders as there will only be a limited number available. The cost will be $22.00 and the discs will be available for pickup or posting by the end of January 2009.  We hope you enjoy the very best of Blossie's classes from 2008.

 

 

Connect and Create With Blossie's

 

Over the coming months we are hoping to have online classes up and running. We're going to structure our online classes so you can download printable instructions and supply lists, communicate with the teacher to ask questions or contribute comments, share your creations and most importantly, complete the projects at your own pace, whenever YOU can find the time . . .  and in your pajamas if you want!

 

We will share more information in next month's newsletter as well as on our blog.

 

 

Point, Shoot, Play

 

Annette and Donna thought they'd never be able to master Photoshop, but thanks to the girls from Point, Shoot, Play  they now feel like Photoshop gurus.  The classes are tailored to suit paper crafters, and are so easy to follow and the instructors speak in plain language.  If digital scrapbooking isn't your thing and you don't want to put down your glue stick, you'll still massively benefit from being able to enhance your photos using Photoshop.

 

Point, Shoot, Play Photoshop classes are happening in the store as follows:

Basics 10 1- Tues 24th February 6.30pm-9.30pm

Storage Idea

 

Annette has come up with a great way to store her scraps! She's purchased a plastic tub, bit enough to fit 12" scraps in. The Cropper Hopper file dividers are perfect to fit inside the tub, one for each colour. Scraps are then simply slipped in behind the relevant divider! And best of all - she added wheels (an inexpensive pot plant stand) so it can be tucked under her desk, out of sight when it's not needed!
