Scrapbooking Much?
Perhaps the beautiful summer weather we've been enjoying has caused you to set aside your scrapbooking. Here's some inspiration that just might give you that push to pull out your supplies on the next rainy day. Click HERE to link to an online class/tutorial that incorporates two of our favourite paper crafts - stamping and scrapbooking. You may not have the exact same supplies but you can use what you have and follow along with Nichol Magouirk as she shows us how to create our own custom stamped backgrounds. Not a scrapbooker? Every card needs a background so this tutorial will have something for every scrapbooker, card maker and stamper! | |

We Now Stock Oil Paints!
 We have been asked often enough for Oil Paints that we decided to try stocking them! Winton is a traditional range of oil colours, made from moderately priced pigments designed for both amateur and student artists or accomplished painters requiring large volumes of color within moderate cost limits.
 Most all of the brushes we stock are suitable for oil paints and clean up is made easy  with odorless paint thinner. We stock both an artist paper pad and a selection of canvas boards and stretch canvases all suitable for use with oils.
Try your hand with a new
paint medium this summer! | |

At long last our Basic Grey Page-of-the-Month kits finally arrived late yesterday afternoon - it seems they forgot to ship ours after they packed them!?!? Your kits will be sorted this morning and ready for pick up this afternoon. Watch your email inbox for a link to this month's instructions.
The count down has been on for quite some time now but we're in the home stretch! Our Emily's cleaning service has once again been booked at Gamma's house in preparation for the arrival of fellow crafter Aunty Di and fellow ice cream lover Uncle Terry. They will be arriving this weekend from England so we might expect some serious crafting in the next few weeks! After yesterday's rain we started practicing our puddle jumping on our family walk!
Happy Crafting!
