Saturday 7 November - Workshop Day

@Home|Away Weekend retreat - Workshop Day 8.30am - 4.30pm

Saturday is our WORKSHOP DAY.

We wanted the retreat to be flexible in that you could participate as much or as little as you wanted to over the weekend. While there's certainly plenty to do over the weekend with the included Workshops and Make & Take Mini Class, we are thrilled to announce THREE EXTRA WORKSHOPS for those of you keen to attend some extra classes, learn some new techniques and skills and create some beautiful projects.

Each workshop will run for TWO HOURS in our separate CLASSROOM commencing at 8.30am and concluding around 4.30pm. You can book into one, two or all three workshops.

We also know that not everyone wants to do all of the workshops which is why we have made them OPTIONAL EXTRAS. For those not attending the extra workshops, you will have plenty of relaxing scrapping time in the main Scrapping Room throughout Saturday. The Make Takes will continue to run over Saturday for those not attending the extra classes. 

As with all of the workshops and typical of any @Home class, you will be guided step by step and your tutor will be there with you every step of the way.

You will experiment with gel medium, acrylic paint, stamping, stitching and inking on pages of canvas, transparency, fabric, corrugated cardstock and more! Each page will be an introduction to a different type of texture. This class is brimming with ideas that are not only fun but will leave you eager to explore and apply the techniques to your own scrapbook layouts and projects once you get home.

Scrap Of Your Life

COMPANY NAME: Scrap of Your Life
RUN BY:    Julie Hyde
WEBSITE: www.scrapofyourlife.com.au

Scrap Of Your Life is an online scrapbooking store, supplying a range of scrapbooking products including papers, chipboard elements, clear elements and specialising in brads and ribbons. 

Owner, Julie Hyde says, "I  am always on the look out  for interesting brads and just love the versatility of  ribbons.  Scrap Of your Life also stocks  kits for every occasion. We can also make up kits on request. Our monthly kits are very popular."

Julie adds, " I have been scrapbooking for a number of years now and for me, part of this passion is the art of photography.  Photos speak a language of their own. They capture the smallest and the biggest moments of our lives.   Scrapbooking  and  photography go hand  in hand and allows us to preserve our memories for not only ourselves but future generations. And of course it allows our own individual creativity to flourish.

What started out as a hobby for me has blossomed into a wonderful passion and this is how Scrap Of Your Life came about."
