Hi there

Here is the page Belinda Basson teaching on Saturday 10 November from 9am to 12pm.  It costs R150 and if you have girls you can order the pink kit.

Here is the BLUE version (the paper will be a bit different as I could not get stock of what I used in this one...)

Here is the same layout with different photos to show you how versatile it is!

Please phone the shop on 021 705 2451 to book your spot!

Card Class 9 November

We will be running our first card class this coming Friday 9 November from 9am to 12pm for R100.  These are the cards we will be making using: stamps, punches, sticky backed foil,die cuts and stencils.

you will need to bring your own glue and glossy accents, the rest will be provided for you or in your kit.

There are 3 Christmas Cards and 3 others, one of which is a man's card.

We have a new direct line: 021 7052451 which you can call to book you place.

New Stock

Lazer cut Chipboard is now in stock.  These are fabulous when coloured with Distress Inks or acrylic paints and really pop when you add glossy accents over the top.

These Nesting dies are what I used to make the Christmas card samples in the shop.

Ticket strips with wording for cards and some cut outs of Happy Birthday and Thanks wording have also been delivered.

Stencils are fabulous for doing backgrounds on pages or cards and Distress Inks or Colour Wash sprays work brilliantly with these.

Pop in when you have a moment to come see what else has arrived.

It's Back to Christmas we go!

I have just been reminded that it is 65 days to go to Christmas!  For those of you who are card makers or are planning to make gifts...here is a bit of inspiration for you.

I used lots of Tim Holtz dies and products here because they are so versatile and easy to use.

The techniques I have used on this layout can be used on their own or grouped together with a few of the others.

All the products used in this example are available in store right now, but you better hurry if you want any of them as things have been flying off our shelves!

I will be placing this together with all the products I used on the table at the back of the store to make your guess work a little easier...

Thanks for the visit and see you in store soon.

Belinda.

First Day of Trade

A BIG thank you to all the people who made the effort to brave the weather to visit our store on its first day of trading.  We really appreciate it.  This is a view from my demo desk at the back of the store.

The signage went up yesterday and the last price tags went onto stock this morning and we opened our doors at 9am!

We had tea and cupcakes on offer to those shoppers who wanted to stay a while too.

It was really interesting to see the cross section of products that people bought.

We are still going to be getting stock in for the shop both on the Craft and Scrapbooking side, so if you pop in and don't see what you are looking for, please leave your name, number and product details for us to see if we can obtain it for you.

So it's official,we are up and running!

Thanks for the visit!

Lets start with CHRISTMAS!

Welcome to the Craft and Scrapbook Centres Blog where we will keep you posted about our latest projects, have some lucky draws and do some Tutorials.

We officially open our shop this coming Friday 19 October 2012 and are in full swing with packing shelves and getting ready for the big reveal!

In the mean time, here is a project we did using some of our stock to give you some inspiration.

We used the Tim Holtz Holly and Pine cone Dies as well as a Spellbinder die to create the embellishments on this page.  The Title and Wish list are by Acorn Crafts.

We have pre-cut and packaged a whole lot for you to use on your pages too!

We hope you will pop in and say HI if you live close enough!

We will be open from 9 - 5
