Shop is open 10am to 2pm tomorrow, Saturday, 31 October. Announcing a new class option….. I'm excited to now offer a Saturday class for those who can't make it during the week!
Spaces are limited, so be sure to book your place.

This week it has been Mixed Media Week – With a Touch of Christmas Magic!
Join me as we create a gorgeous Christmas candle setting, followed by a beautiful white-on-white Christmas card. What a lovely gift this would make for someone special, or perhaps a little treat for yourself!
We will be attaching gorgeous little resin houses to a glass jar to create our candle setting. I've already made the houses using resin moulds, but I'll explain how it's done so you can have a go yourself.
For our Christmas card, we'll be keeping things elegant and simple, using embossing folders and stamps to create a beautiful white-on-white finish.
Cost: $20.00 – includes the glass jar and materials for both projects.
Come along, enjoy some creativity, a little Christmas inspiration and, of course, plenty of chatter and laughter along the way!
Look forward to seeing you at The Creative Craft Room!

It's Scrapbook Week next week!

Come along and join me as we create this lovely double-page scrapbook layout!

This week we're going to have a little fun using some of those tools we already have in our crafting stash, but in a different way!

We often reach for our dies and punches when making cards, but they're just as wonderful for scrapbooking. So we're keeping things simple, getting creative and making the most of what we already have, including those embellishments tucked away in our stash!

You'll be able to choose your own colour combination from the selection attached. Each layout will follow the same theme, using gingham, dots and plain cardstock.

And the best part? I'll have your chosen colours all ready for you when you arrive!

Class Times
Tuesday: 9am – 12.30pm
Wednesday: 5pm – 7.30pm
Thursday: 1pm – 5pm

Cost: $19.00 for the double-page layout.

Just let me know which colour you'd like and which class you'll be joining.

Looking forward to another lovely week of creating, sharing ideas and, of course, plenty of chatting and laughter!

See you soon!

CREATE & CHAT – IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

Goodness me, where is this year going? It's flying by, and here we are with another Create & Chat day just around the corner!

So gather up those unfinished projects (we all have a few of those hiding away! 😂), or bring along something new you've been wanting to start, and come and join us for a day of creativity, chatter and plenty of laughter.

Bring your own craft and your lunch, and I'll provide the usual treats to keep us going throughout the day.

As always, I'll be here to offer a helping hand, a little encouragement, some creative inspiration and, most importantly, a good laugh or two!

I'll be here from 9am onwards, so come along and enjoy some creative time together.

The shop will be open too, so you can always find that little something you didn't know you needed!

Just let me know if you're coming so I can make sure there's a space for you.

Looking forward to another lovely day of creating, chatting and laughing together!
