Sideways hail

As I sit typing this, there is sideways hail pounding outside.  They say there is a low the size of Australia about to move onto New Zealand, which means another big old storm brewing out there.  Being the weather nerd that I am, I LOVE this kind of thing.  Being as sick of the nasty weather as I am, I hate this kind of thing.  The nerd will probably win out in the end as I watch the satellite maps and weather blogs, but c'mon.  The thrill may wear off soon.

The latest Tarisota gallery is up.  I didn't work on the collection this month, (although I wish I did, check this out!) I did, however do the Teckni Colour limited edition.  

Detail-blowup

I also have the BasicGrey 4 u take 3 in the limited editions there, as well as my August Aussie Scrap Source class kit!  I've been busy.

I've been emailed and asked about more details from my Christchurch trip… I'm in Christchurch at Scrapbook Art on the 13th of September.  I can confirm that I'm teaching two all NEW classes, that won't be taught at SENZ.  Details are below. 

 Class 1: Summer Build-a-book. 
 
The days are getting longer which means summer is on it's way!  It's the perfect time to create a summertime album!  Join Nic to create a multi media mini album… just a little acrylic.. add some gorgeous papers and detail with a gorgeous range of exciting embellishments.  You'll be totally prepared this season with a book already completed and ready to add those favourite summertime pictures.
 
Class 2: Double Take. 

Design, technique and a whole lot of fun.  Join Nic Howard as she takes a basic layout and makes it something special not once, but twice.  Walk away from this class with 2 completed layouts and enough tips and tricks to want to keep on creating.  Photos and tools to be advised.
 
I've also been asked about whether or not I'll travel to (a few places actually, lol) – basically if your event reaches the minimum numbers and doesn't clash with another event I'm teaching at in the area, (I try not to teach the same classes in the same area in a very close time span… it's better for everyone) of course I'll see if it fits in and try and make your event – just flick me an email!
 
I've been so busy formulating classes recently that I haven't any layouts to share – it won't be long before I'll have tonnes though.  I've stepped up my involvement with the Aussie Scrap Source Blog, which is now updated a lot more often with dozens of pages per post.  I'll probably have one or two layouts on there a week starting in about 10 days time.
 
Alrighty.  Back to the weather blogs.

Love your layouts and looking forward to your Basic Grey creations from my preordered Tarisota collection. We are having the greatest weekend of winter sunshine in Sydney, enjoy the hail as change is on its way.
