Crop & Classes

Announcement

Due to low numbers I have had to make the call to cancel the Crop & Class day in Orewa in February. Hopefully the interest will be higher for another day later in the year.

Thanks to everyone who DID register. I will email you all shortly and sort out the repayment of the registration fee, for those who has already paida that.

LO-kits including instructions by Hannah Blair & Michelle Whorwood will be sold on the blog at a later time.

Crop & Classes day – second tutor

Here’s the introduction of the second tutor for our Crop & Classes day on 15th February 2014:

MICHELLE WHORWOOD

Hi, my name is Michelle Whorwood  and I have been scrapbooking for about 8 years now!!  I am a SAHM to three gorgeous kids Liam who is 9 1/2, Taylor Grace who is 3 and Aimee Rose who almost 20 months.   I’m married to a super supportive lovely man (Gary) and we live in Albany on the North Shore of Auckland.

Scrapbooking is my creative outlet, my indulgent me time where I get to document the stories (the good and the bad) of my family as well as letting me enjoy one of my other favourite past times – shopping!  You could describe my scrapbook style as a bit eclectic and definitely fun.  I love using colour – taking inspiration from my photos, the stories and from the products themselves.  You will find lots of layering and little details on my layouts.  I also love trying to find new ways to use embellishments and enjoy pushing my style in definitely directions.

 I currently design for the sketch challenge site Creative Scrappers and have been super lucky to be on several design teams over the last few years including Scrappin’ Patch, D-lish Scraps, Challenge Me Happy & guest designer at Crazy Monday Scrapbooking Kits. I have also had layouts featured on the Crate Paper blog, and for challenges at Prima Marketing, the Color Room, Sketchy Thursdays, Kraft it Up, Color Stories Inspiration and Sketchabilities.

I really enjoy sharing techniques, tips and ideas through my design team commitments and in my scrapbook classes. Over the years I have taught many beginner and technique classes but most recently I was a tutor at the 2013 Scrappin’ Patch Spring Retreat in Christchurch.

HANNAH BLAIR

My name is Hannah, I’m 34  years old and married to Rob. We have 2 boys, Ethan (11) and Tyler (9). We live  right near the beach on the beautiful Hibiscus Coast, just north of Auckland,  NZ. I work from home as a medical writer and editor. I started scrapbooking ‘properly’ in 2005. Primarily, I scrapbook because I love the creative outlet. It’s  relaxing, therapeutic and allows me to express myself. Preserving memories for  my family and future generations is a bonus, but I make sure that all my layouts  tell a story. For this reason, I almost always include journaling on my pages.  My work is quite varied, and I don’t think I have one particular style. I like  to try lots of different things, depending on my mood, the products I am using,  and the photos I am scrapbooking. I’ve been on several Design  Teams over the years, and I’ve also taught scrapbook classes in the past.
