Hey Everyone in Scrappyland

Well what a weekend
away with good friends to an awesome weekend of classes with Di Garling
learning new tips and tricks - yep can definately teach an old dog new tricks
we took 3 of the 6 classes on offer and all  enjoyed every minute

So now back to reality and that reality is that SENZ is just round the corner
the classes go live on the 6th June at 5pm for the VIPs and then for the next few days after until general sale....whose coming to play?
I have created 6 different classes for this year  from mini album (not really that mini) boys layouts, girls layout, mixed media and even a special mdf project
loved making all these classes and cant wait till end of July to share and create with you

A little in the life of Robbi
Emma has had her baby boy Bentley and he is just darling growing like a little sprout and getting cheekier by the day lol
Miss P is also growing up chattering away to herself and hoping i think that we understand her every now and then words happen that we can recognise .... still not Granma tho....it will come....might have to bribe her with lollies etc
Spencer well hes just starting to crawl so is not going to be still for long once he really gets going
he has the most infectious laugh and smile with big blue eye to match

Trevor and I are away for a few days R&R then back and into the chaos that is SENZ 
but in the meantime we have another class coming up on the 16/17th June
layout and then cards all in the same day....looking forward to playing again lol

this is the layout sneaks and it is using the new release from Prima Havana

love the soft colours and Miss P has come along to help me create this beauty

6 different cards in this kit from happy Birthday to Sympathy so a good variation

If you would like to come along to class or purchase a kit they are $40 each (both is $75) and courier if required. Just email me on robbiebell123@hotmail.com to let me know

Ok Ladies well thats it for this post

Hope you all keep warm and scrap up a storm

Hey Everyone in Scrappyland.....

Welcome to my monthly ramblings for February
This month sees the new concept for classes with both Dunedin and Balclutha classes being
a combined day....so in the morning we are having a layout class from 9.30 till 12.30ish and in the afternoon from 1 till 3.30 we will be making cards.....then in April it will be reversed although the times may be tweaked a little.
If you would like to note the class dates for this year...here they are for you
(1st date is Dunedin and 2nd date is Balclutha)
17th - 18th February
14th - 15th April
16th - 17th June
18th - 19th Aug
13th - 14th Oct
1st - 2nd December

Mega scrap day in Dunedin only will be on the 4th August
and I am hoping to add a few crop days in there as well but that will be down the track

This is the classes for this month and if you would like a kit or come join us at class these might spark your interest
1st is the double layout with little folders for adding photos and journaling for each month
to record your moments for 2018 - a wonderfully fun layout but you would have to be religious in getting your monthly photos and adding them - failing that it would be a great holiday layout
with plenty of room for both the little photos and tickets along with plenty of space for journaling

this shows some of the little folders -
cost of the kit is $40 and if required to be couriered please add $7 for courier or $9 for rural post

Next is the Card kit for this month - it has 6 easy cards to make (well I think they are easy)
there is different themes however you can make them whatever you would like - Sympathy, Birthday, just a simple Hello

I have only given you a sneaky of 4 of them at the moment
cost of the kit is $40 and if required to be couriered please add $7 for courier or $9 for rural post
If you would like to join us in class then please let me know by Friday at the latest or if you would like to have the kits couriered they will be sent on Monday 19th
Combined cost for both is $75 either for class or sent (add courier fee for sending)

In amongst the mess of kitting and creating for both class and camp and SENZ there has to be a little fun time with the grandies......thought you might like an update
Master Spencer is laying down the law.....Arms folded and giving me the "look here Grandma"

 

 and Miss Penelope has decided that Pops should by her a jetski....think she can spend a little more time practising on land

Musings.....Last night I got to go to Antenatal with Emma (I was token Jayden for the night as he was a bit crook)  I must admit things have changed a lot since I had the my 3 babies
no more breathing techniques - we know how to breathe
no more lying flat on the bed to birth the baby - hands and knees or swiss ball now used
no more Doctors - they seem to be on the outer  Midwives are used for everything
But....watching the "Dads to be" faces when certain things were mentioned was worth the trip in itself
and I did enjoy the coffee and chockie bikkie at half time lol
Ok that's it for this post - lets know if you are interested in the kits above or coming to play at class
Until next time

Take Care and
Happi Scrappin

Hey Everyone in Scrappyland....

Its ME!
I'm back...feels like I've been on one of those sabbatical's but no not really just me being slack
so please do forgive me...I do intend to be better at blogging all the  goodness that is happening in my scrappy world and outside it
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got the opportunity to take copious amounts of photos so you have a good stack for the upcoming themes and collections that the Companies are all showcasing at Creativation 2018 (wouldn't you just love to be there!) some of these are absolutely mind blowing and I cant wait to see them in real life
I have been working away on the SENZ projects and I'm hoping this year you will love them as much as I am....there is OTP goodies and of course trusty ever layouts and like I said with all the new collections coming out I'm sure all the Tutors are busy beavering away
This year after a lot of thinking and more thinking I have come up with a plan to change the way I run classes down here and in Balclutha - this will hopefully be easier for Ladies to come along to class (and of course to purchase the kits) by having the classes only once every 2 months - roughly but having a full day so running 2 classes one in the morning and one in the afternoon
It hopefully might mean Ladies can find one day every 2 months rather than 1 day every month
same amount of work but am looking to increase the numbers that come along to "play"
so most classes will be a layout in morning and cards in afternoon or vice versa
the dates are as follows if you would like to pop these in your calendar - dates shown for Dunedin (Balclutha classes are the following day)
17 Feb, 14 Apr, 16 June, 18 Aug, 13 Oct, 1st Dec
along of course with the Mega Scrap day that will be run on the 4th August
and I am also hoping to run a couple of crop days and a mixed media day along the way

Ok so yesterday I turned the big ...... (well a girl never tells....aye?) on sunday we had a wonderful family dinner and got to play with these 2 little squirts...

Aren't they just gorgeous?
Miss Penelope is now 14 months and Master Spencer is now 3 months old
and of course we have Emma's new baby arriving sometime early April....many of you will know Emz from working on the stall with Sharon at SENZ or even just from some layouts that she has been showcased on.  (she's having a little Boy so Miss P still reigns supreme lol)
Yep I'm gushing...they are just so cute but of course I'm a tad biased

Ok well that's a quick "Hello" from me at the moment
watch for the emails in your inbox around the 8th or so of Feb for the 1st class for the year
as I look forward to a very busy year
Until then
Take Care and Happi Scrappin'
