Here is a sneak peek of what I've been working on today!!! The colours arent showing very well in the pic but the clock looks gorgeous - and its been soooo easy to put together!!!
Loire Valley Altered Clock Gift - With Ashlee
This class is to create a gorgeous gift - an altered and decorated clock! Using sumptuous papers from the Loire Valley range, we can create an elegant yet simple gift in less than 90 minutes!
Sunday 18th October, 3.30-5pm
$25 per person
Project kit includes papers, clock & mechanism and embellishments. Bring your own toolkit and photos if you wish - you can choose to leave this part unglued and add photos at home.
12:23 AM
If you've always wanted to give scrapbooking a go, you'll enjoy this very casual and basic class. I can show you some simple, cheap and effective ways to put together a page, like the ones below. I havent finished these but thought they give you a good idea of the ribbons and papers we'll be using!
The decoration and layout are really easy to put together and a wonderful way to celebrate Xmas this year!
You can choose between the red kit or the white kit - the white has a gorgeous paper from Imaginisce with fairy lights strung across it. The red has beautiful christmas trees. Both kits come with the 'believe' in rhinestones and enough paper to create a simple and effective layout. Perfect for baby's FIRST CHRISTMAS but also a great way to capture the memories of any festive season!
Have a play with the cuttlebug while we make our letters - if you've always wanted to see what this machine can do, this is the class for you!!
Next we'll make an Xmas decoration using punches, glitter, wood and more - a cute little gift or a special keepsake??
Perfect for the beginner scrapbook but also fun and simple for the more advanced :-)
Christmas is such a special time and for a household with children, there is a definite magic in the air!!Create a keepsake ornament/tree decoration for your babe to treasure - you wont believe how easy these are!
We'll also make a simple Christmas 12x12 scrapbooking layout to record the special day!
Whether it be for this Xmas or for your baby's first Christmas, you'll love this class! You can bring your Xmas photos or leave spaces to put photos after December 25!
Sunday 18th October, 2.30 - 3.30pm
$15.00
Includes paper kit and embellishments. Bring your own toolkit!
I'll have the Magic Mesh FREEZE FRAME for this class - the tool that allows you to instantly 'freeze' your layout so you can finish it in a moment (or protect it from teeny hands when you have to move away from the table!).
12:04 AM
Hi, I'm Ashlee!
I've been scrapbooking for over 6 years! I started with old-fashioned ticket-stub journals and have progressed into modern embellishment-heavy 12x12 projects! I have 10 completed or in-progress scrapbooking albums - I guess thats largely a result of having 3 babes!!I started MOMENTS Papercraft Shoppe in July of this year, to bring some great ranges and innovative products to Whakatane. I specialise in several brands and stock die-cut machines and accessories. Each month I take technique classes and on Saturday's we have very casual kid-friendly crops. I absolutely LOVE all the new products that are always coming out, but I also have a passion for stretching the scrapbooking dollar further and making the most of both scrapbooking items and household goods for my layouts.
I am looking forward to our Christmas Craft Extravangza with Delys and Jenn - these two are extremely talented and I cant wait to work along side them in October!
The classes I am taking will be using the latest (as yet unreleased!!) ranges from Imaginisce and Kaisercraft along with some of my favourite items. I'll be spending the next couple of weeks making up the projects to demo and will post photos on here as soon as I'm done - I'm just waiting for all the stock to arrive!!!!!!
The Birthday Book/Xmas Card List/2010 Calendar is a favourite of mine - its a brilliant and simple project to create as a gift for someone and is very cheap to post overseas! It can be adapted for different people and occasions. In this class, you can choose to make it as a 2010 calendar (perfect for mums with young babes, I promise!), as a Birthday Book, or as an Xmas Card List. Come and learn how to put together this mini-book and you'll never be stuck for a gift again!!
The Christmas Advent Calendar is sooooo cool! I've chosen to use a vintage-themed paper range with the most gorgeous colours! The project may take a couple of hours but you'll be creating a keepsake that can be used year after year! I think it will be brilliant for the kids for the coming years - and I wont be putting a chocolate in each box either!!
My Baby's First Christmas class is perfect for mums or grandmothers who want to make a keepsake for this festive time! We'll make two special tree decorations and a simple 12x12 scrapbooking layout.
The altered clock is a wonderful gift for someone who has it all - or you may choose to keep it for yourself!!
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the Christmas Craft Extravaganza and having a crazy crafting time!!!

Using the latest 2009 Christmas releases, you can create a simple 6x6 mini-address book that you can use year after year!
Or perhaps you're after a beautiful gift for your sister, best friend, mother-in-law or aunt . . . You can adapt the design to create a beautiful Birthday Book.

11:37 PM
I've always wanted to make an advent calendar, so when Kaisercraft previewed these awesome off-the-page items, I was very excited!!! The calendars and new Xmas papers are so NEW, that they havent been released yet!! All I can offer you is a sample!!The Advent Calendar has 24 little boxes to hold chocolates, love notes, gifts and other treasures! I havent had a confirmation on the size of the calendar yet, but I think it's approx 12x12 ..... the little boxes can hold those chocolate coins and the inside frame is 8x8.
Using the classic and traditional rich and regal reds, greens and golds of Christmas, the BELLE range from Kaisercraft is truely gorgeous!
Create a count-down piece to be treasured by the family for years to come, or give as a gift to someone special.
Friday 16 October, 7-9pm
$50 per person
Advent kit includes calendar, chipboard numbers, papers and embellishments.
Bring your own toolkit and a photo (no bigger than 8x8). A photo that is larger than 6x4 but can be cut down will work best. You can also bring any Xmas decorations, ribbons etc to decorate your calendar, as the inside is similiar to a shadow box and will look great with items hanging down!
This class must be pre-paid in advance. I need to have minimum number of 4 people booked and paid by 8 October for this class to go ahead.
12:15 PM
Its coming soon but in the meantime this is the wrap around scrapbooking box Delys is teaching!
