Workshop - Waterfall Flip Tag Album
Today I held a workshop at my place for the “Waterfall Flip Tag Album”. Its easy to make - and once you know the trick to getting the mechanics of it right - its a very impressive little brag book! First - here’s the cover…….
The cover of the Waterfall Flip Tag Album
……… it features papers and bazzil from the “Blossom” assortment.
And then when you open it up………….
The album opened
…………. on the left hand side is a family photo and a vellum embellishment. On the right hand side is a series of six overlapping mini pages - each with a photo. On the far right is a tab with ribbon embellishment. When you pull on the tab ……………
The waterfall effect
………. the six mini pages cascade like a waterfall. It is not as hard as it looks and very satisfying to make.
It can be a brag book or part of a scrapbook 12×12 layout. You could also make it so it is part of a layout - but removable!
Keep an eye on my website for when I’ll be offering this workshop again - probably in September 2008. Or contact me to organise the workshop at your place for yourself and up to five of your friends. www.leoniescraftcorner.com
The Clear Mini Album
Here’s a photo of my work in progress. Its the clear mini album - and I’m pleased with how its looking so far.

The next step will be to attach the photos, SB paper and vellum. Then comes the journalling and embellishing.
I am running this workshop at my place on Saturday 30th August. For details see my website www.leoniescraftcorner.com - or contact me if you want to gather some friends and hold it at your place (or mine) at a time to suit you.
A FREE Make and Take Demonstration…..
……………..was held at my place this afternoon. The theme was Christmas and featured embossing, chalking and the two-step stamping technique.
The three cards demonstrated today.
I’ll be holding this Make and Take demo again in August or September - check my website www.leoniescraftcorner.com for details - or contact me to host your own FREE Make and Take demo. You can hold it at your house or mine, at a time and date to suit you. As the host you will receive a FREEbie or two, and there will be a lucky door prize for your guests.
Its all about having fun with your friends and unleashing your creativity!
Fun at the Workshop
J and A working with the ribbons and distressed inks
Today I ran the Christmas Cards workshop - “Traditional with a twist” at my place in Hazelbrook. There were four guests who created fabulous cards - at times giving their cards an individual look.

Christmas Card Workshop
Tomorrow (Saturday 26th at 1.30) I’ll be holding a 5PQ workshop at my place in Hazelbrook. I’ve been working this afternoon making the cards and preparing the kits and equipment. I’m very pleased with the way the cards look - I call them traditional with a twist!
Christmas Cards to be made at workshop
Each card is made with a different stamp and a different stamp pad. The techniques can be used in scrapbooking, and of course you can adapt the ideas in your card making.
Now if you like the look of the cards but can’t come along tomorrow - then you could gather 5 or more friends and host your own workshop. (Each person pays $20 for the workshop.) Or get yourself on my email list - because I’ll be running this workshop again in August/September!
Just packed an order
I’ve just had a pleasant time packing the orders for the last “Make and Take” demonstration. The best part is packing all the FREEbies for the host - and a couple of the guests got some FREEbies that are on offer this month too!
My new blog!
Welcome to my new blog. I plan to update daily - or at least a few times a week - and I’d love to read your comments especially once I start uploading photos.
So what’s my latest news? This weekend I’ll be holding two events at my place - a Christmas Card Workshop and a FREE Make and take. For details go to my website www.leoniescraftcorner.com and click on “The Events” link.
Tomorrow, I have a busy day planned. I have an order to pack, a mini transparent album to finish and five traditional Christmas cards (well, traditional with a twist) to make. A crafty day for me! In the mean time feel free to leave a comment, especially if you have a question about something I’ve writen about.
