Cost: Between $35 - $55 (price depends on kit chosen) Dinner is Included.
Lots of $$$Gift Vouchers and other discount vouchers for all LSS included - more details to come.

This day is going to be so much fun. I am already excited by what has been organsied.
As the date for this workshop also happens to fall on the day that is usually National Scrapbook Day, all the local scrapbook stores have gotten together to help support this cause and make this workshop the launch of a week of special discounts, games and competitions, and giveaways. Thanks Raqual for suggesting we support NSD and helping with organising this week. The following Friday - 8th May will culminate in another Crop where we will announce winners etc of competitions that have been running during the week.

Mark the dates down. Registration forms and lots more details will be out shortly but I wanted to give any of you who were planning a head start on one some of the competitions planned. This is one that will be judged on the Saturday.

SCRAP your BRA
Ladies, find those old bras - and start scrapping them. i can hear you already say WHAT !!!!!
Yep you heard me. Have you ever had the desire to do something a little silly.... well its something I regularly do but this time you can join me and its for a cause... This workshops cause is supporting a local lady with breast Cancer.... so therefore you know boobs need bras and well lets face it they are pretty boring... the bras I am talking about...

sooooo Just for something a little fun on the day one of the competitions we are going to be running run is to scrap your bra - we will have a little fashion parade later in the day and a winner will be announced. Obviously you won't be able to scrap your bra that day - so you can start thinking about how you want to decorate it now. I could say the bigger the better but that wouldn't be nice - this will be fun - so come on girls have a go. Just remember you have to parade it later on in the day(over the top of your clothes ladies - so no need to chicken out ) no need to be undressing... there are some great prizes planned. OK this isn't a requirement of the day but believe me you will get a giggle or two out of it.

If you need a little inspiration check out the photos below. These are just a couple of images I found on the internet. There are no rules you can decorate your bra however you like- your favourite color - even to suit your personality - its entirely up to you. Sew on flowers, stick on felt, add a photo if you wish - the only rule is there isn't any.
So get out an oldie and have some fun,.

More information regarding the day, registration forms and other information regarding the National Scrapbook Week will follow shortly.

If you need further information please feel free to leave a comment, or email me on davmelk@dodo.com.au

The day is strictly limited to 100 people so it will be the first 100 who book and PAY. The only reserved seats will be these ones.
Looking forward to catching up with many familiar faces again and another fun day.

Bushfire Appeals and Fundraiser CROP at Kaiser

There is a way YOU can help out. If you are a scrapper here is a couple of ways..

No doubt many of you have been shocked, touched even brought to tears by what has been happening in Victoria with the bushfires. How can part of Australia be under water due to floods and here devastating fires....and to think some of them were deliberately lit.

Its hard to think about loosing everything, I know how shattering it was when only our garage burnt down... but the reality of it all is some of these people now don't even own a toothbrush let along a bed to sleep in. For many as well as their houses all their treasured memories(keepsakes and photographs) have gone too. Just close your eyes and try to imagine how you would feel if all your beautifull scrapbooks and photos disappeared. There is a way we can help out these families put these back together again. They will have the massive task of trying to gather photographs from relatives and friends but in the meantime we can help out with the albums.
Sarah Gladman has a call out to us scrappers to create some 12x12 album pages to help out these familys put their lives back together again. Check out her blog for full details. For an example of a finished page Chris Millar has posted one up on her site. She also has listed some places you can give donations too.



For anyone in the Geelong area.

Friday 27th February - 6-10 pm We will be having a Crop at the Kaisercraft Outlet Workshop. We have space for 100 people so come along and get some scrapping done or even make one of those layouts for the victims as mentioned above.

Cost - $10 (or however much you wish to donate) - 100% of money will be give to the Fire Appeals

Workshop Update

Hi again Girls
Just a quick reminder for you all to get in your registrations for the next crop. I know it is a crazy time of year and some of you may be busy with other Christmas parties. There will be many more days to come.
For those of you who are wondering where we will park on the day - don't stress.
McCanns - next door closes at 12.30 - this is one of the reasons for the time change. Also there is parking behind Pegasus antiques.

Had a few people not happy about the change - please try and understand that this is a trial and we will see how it works out in comparison to the church. If you knew how long it takes to set up at the church you would all understand why I am jumping at the chance to try out the new workshop area. Just the fact that the workshop area is permanently set up is a bonus in itself. Im sure you will all tell me which you like better after the day.

Little bit of news - Kylie Hatton, one of our regular ladies who attends the crops - went into labour early and has had a little baby boy - Mason. Can you believe she emailed me shortly afterwards and said that all she could think was now she can attend the next workshop. Congratulations Kylie and IF you are feeling up to it we would love you to drop it and say hi....make sure you bring your new little bundle to show us all...

Look forward to catching up with many more of you again in a couple of weeks.
love
Lissy

Christmas (December) Workshop

The time has come and finally the registration form our next Crop for A cause workshop is available for download over yonder on the right side of this blog.

After the huge success of the first ever 100 - 1 Scrap off - we are going to hold the next workshop in the Kaisercraft Factory Outlet workshop area (back of the shop)
This is truly exciting..... Well for me it is - the workshop area is awesome and it means I don't have to set up tressles and lugg around stock as it is already done. If you haven't checked out the new outlet and said hi to Chez in there then you are seriously missing out but at least this will give you a good excuse to have a look.

As it could be difficult for parking in the morning for such a large number of you - we have decided to change the times for this one....(and see how is goes) as after 12.30 there will be extra places to park next door. Before I woffle on too much here are the details and if you would like to register please get all forms to me as soon as possible.

WHEN: Saturday 6th December
TIME: 1pm - 11pm
Dinner is included (bring your own snack/lollies etc or rest of day)

WHERE: Kaisercraft Factory Outlet
506-508 Latrobe Blvd, Geelong. (next to Pegasus Antiques and McCanns)

COST: $25 - $35 (Depending on kit)

PLEASE BRING ALONG A NON PERISHABLE FOOD ITEM or something to add to the Christmas hampers.

Money raised throughout the day (sales and raffles etc) will be given to Debbie Grinter for the Leukemia foundation and the Christmas hampers will be given out to some of the families we have helped out during the year.

$25 - Come along, bring some friends and just scrap and chat for the day - dinner included
$35 - For this you also get all the new December paper releases for FREE (This is 12 new double sided papers - 3 new paper collections)
Please make sure you mark down what you want on your registration form.
Numbers are strictly limited and places will only be reserved for those who have paid and registration forms have been returned.
Close off date is STRICTLY 30th November.

For those of you who haven't yet attended a Crop for A Cause, bring along what you are working on at present and enjoy some well earned time out, meet lots of new friends, lots of laughs and hopefully actually get some scrapping done - all whilst helping out someone at the same time. As I say by outselves we may feel that we can't do much but together we can make a difference.

Look forward to catching up with you all then.

100 to 1 - Kaisercraft Scrap Off

Hi girls, just me again

This time this has nothing to do with Crop for a Cause but it is for a cause just the same….

Just letting you all know of an event some of you may be interested in. Would love to see many of the familiar faces from our workshops.

This is about that event I mentioned at the last workshop – You all know the shows on TV – Ready steady Cook etc etc, well we are having our own scrapbooking version – Paper, scissors, Cut….. Ok well not quite but ....

It’s the Kaisercraft Scrap Off….
Kaisercraft are holding a 100 to 1 Scrap Off competition
– 8th November. This is something you won’t want to miss. Be apart of this and possibly see yourself on our planned DVD. We have an exciting day planned for those participating and something you probably have never done before - I know I haven’t seen this happen before.

I am personally inviting you all now as Im not sure if you plan on getting into the outlet prior to this date. This event has strictly limited places. What I CAN’T do is hold a place for you. You will need to register and pay yourself through the outlet.

If you are interested visit the new outlet shop on the 11th October to pick up registrations forms etc. These will all have to be handed in from 18th October to receive kits.

It does cost $30 to enter but believe me when I say the kit for the first rounds are well worth it. You will then have two weeks to complete a project with what you are given.

ALL money raised will be going towards the Kaisercraft causes – orphanages, homes etc

Lorraine Bate from Scrapbook Creations Magazines will be down from Sydney and is sponsoring one of the rounds(prize is awesome), along with Fiskars sponsoring another round.

Winner will receive a $300 Kaiser gift voucher to spend on their choice of products. There will be other door prizes (vouchers $150, $50, $25) and giveaways on the day.

Feeling that you all NEED to register….lol… are you feeling it yet???

Come on out and support the kids again and have a fun day out.

If you are knocked out in one of the earlier rounds feel free to hang around and scrap…..

Download information here. If you need further info feel free to email me regarding this, otherwise see Chez at the outlet.

Feel free to pass this onto any friends but please note – this is event is limited to the first 100 people only. It is being advertised through the outlet and on the Kaiser site - so don't leave it to late to register.

Please note:
The new outlet shop hours are 9 am – 5.30pm Monday – Saturday
(not as in attached flyer)

Hope to see you all there on the day….

Melissa
