Christmas card sending time is literally only weeks away now.  

This class uses a Kaisercraft paper.  The vellum window is a great technique for creating focus on a busy or bright background paper.  The finishing touches come from pearls, the luxurious Maya Road scalloped velvet ribbon and Tim Holtz's Rock Candy.   This is the first time we have used this technique in class.  You will also find out another use for cotton buds!

This card will be held on Tuesday 10th November.  6.30pm - 8.30pm.  Bookings can be taken in store, by emailing info@chandoncraft.com.au or calling the shop on 5223 2003.  Knock over another special card in this class as well as taking home another piece of knowlege.  Cost $23.95.

October is a great time for.....

making your 2010 calendars.  Whether they are to keep for yourself at home or the office, or whether they are made as gifts, nothing is such an all year gift than a calendar personalised by you and your family.

There are several different choices that can made with Calendars and here are a couple of our favorites at Chandon Craft:

The 2010 Basic Grey Calendar.
 
This 8x8" Calendar comes complete with all the embellishments you need to make a fabulous calendar.  The designs in the pack are from the thirteen most popular Basic Grey ranges.  Kelly Goree designed pages for each month (samples of each month come with the pack).  Here is April sans photo.
 

If you only scrap traditional 12x12" layout the Karen Foster Blank Calendar could be the one for you. 
 
Just design your page layouts and add to the top of the corresponding month. Fill in dates using numerical stickers.  Use for an year.  You can especially make pages for each month, or adhere exisiting 12x12 layouts to create the calendar.
