SALE SALE SALE

Quick message to remind you that the Azza Sale 2019 has begun.  

It is on until 28 February - or as long as stocks last.  As usual it is a 'first come best dressed' sale, and I have to say there are some great bargains this time... some usual stock drastically reduced, some discontinued that once it is gone that's it, its gone.  

Send me an email with the code and description of the items, or log in to place the order yourself (don't forget to add me as your consultant). 

I'll be sending out a message next week about February & March classes, so watch this space for them.  

One of the templates on sale is Noisette, you can see a couple of pages done with Noisette on my 'Bunbury Classes' page.  Another is Ecole... a lovely versatile stencil and here is a cool page using it (lol)!
Happy Scrapping, Barbara

January New Product Release

Hello again,

I don't normally post twice in one week, but having been inspired by our new range I am sure you will want to see it, and since the catalogue is already on the website I really should share it with you.

This catalogue covers the new products for both January and February - another dual month which means that you have the opportunity of getting the baskets (bundles of products sold together at special prices) for the two months, not just one as usual.  The baskets are great value:

Basket 1

New Studio Duo Template 'VERLAINE', pre-cut pages to go with the template, and Focus book (ideas to show you how to use the pages and template)


sneek peek...

Basket 2

5 of each of the 2 new page colours, with coordinating A4 paper (3), and one of the two new ink colours.   I do love it when everything coordinates together, it makes building pages soooo much easier!

Both fantastic bargains and all new beautiful products.  The other great products released this month are the VINTAGE decoration theme.

and vintage dies:
Head over the the catalogue on the 'Jan/Feb' tab above to see them in full... or come to a class (Jan available dates on the last post - scroll down).  To order just drop me an email, PM, or text and I'll be in touch.

The Vintage decoration products have proved very popular with us consultants and I just know you are going to love them too.  I've been using them on more pages from my British & European trip back in 2017 (still working through those photos!)... 
front of page set - I've cut the page to fit the template, and decorated using the Texture Deco Duo, Die (one of the pack of 3 beautiful intricate dies), and a cute ink bottle from the Deco Stencil Duo.


back of front page, (decoration using Die again & Patterned Paper - I used one die cut as a mask for the bottom detail) 















and page 2 - decoration using Die, Patterned Paper, Embossing Folder, and comfy chair and large book from the Deco Stencil Duo.














Placing photos, cutting and decorative effects are what you will learn at my classes.  If you see anything you would like to know how to do, just ask.  If you are keen on taking your scrapping to the next level I run courses so that you can master techniques such as chalking, inking, using deco stencils and others too.  Did you know there are over a dozen ways of using chalks?

Oooh, before I go, there are a couple more surprises in the catalogue... I'll leave you to read all about them. The first is for lovers of our mini-inks,  the second... well, suffice to say that you may want to register on the website (www.azzaworld.com.au) so that you don't miss out - don't forget to choose me as your consultant, and keep watching this space and my facebook page (@Barbara.WA.Azza) for updates.

The WA team are getting together next week to plan our project for the WA Azza Birthday Experience retreat in March - have you booked your place yet?  

That's all for now, more next time,

Happy Scrappin'

Happy New Year – almost,

The Deco Stencil course, held on the second Saturday of each month, has its last two lessons in Jan '& Feb – this class is full.

Unless otherwise specified, class times are: Morning – 9am to 12noon, Afternoon, 1.30 to 4.30pm, Evening 7pm to 10pm.  Classes are usually 2 ½ -3 hours long with a short break for a brew and look at new products in the middle.

From February I will have set times for classes for the rest of the year.  Please let me know if you are interested in attending regularly, and which days and times would suit you best and I can see if I can work things to suit.  I will look at running a techniques course once a month on a Saturday afternoon for those who have been to a few classes and feel confident to move on and start doing some more decoration on their pages.

What you need:
As always, all you need to bring are your photos – Please see the 'Bunbury Classes' tab above for details on what you need to bring.

Classes are $25, and you will get a ‘stamp’ which can be exchanged for a gift (save your stamps for a higher level gift) or money off your next order over $30.

Look forward to catching up and hearing about your Christmas.

Here’s looking forward to 2019 and lots of happy memories to scrap,  meanwhile I'll leave you with a page from my "Wineries of the South West" Album... we are heading to St Aiden's Wines for an evening of Shakespeare this weekend, so I thought it was appropriate.



Happy Scrappin'

Last Orders Before Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Just a quick message to let you know about the last ordering dates before the Azza warehouse shuts for their Christmas & New Year break...

Last orders:
placed through me delivered to me in Bunbury:          Saturday 8 December
placed via the website to be delivered direct to you:  Saturday 13 December

Please remember your products are coming from Queensland and take almost 2 weeks normally, so may take a little extra time with all the parcels that are making their way across the country at this time.  You can choose 'Express Delivery' on the website if you are placing orders direct. 

DID YOU KNOW...  you can placed your own orders on the website!  just set up an account (please choose me as your Consultant), and shop away.  Postage costs are dependent on what you order, (so no flat fee), and you can have your items delivered direct to you. 

I'm still happy to pool orders together and have them delivered here - that way you pay a small flat contribution towards the post costs and I do the work, you just have to arrange to collect them.  Perhaps stop by for a cuppa!

Warehouse Christmas holiday: 14 December 2018 - 6 January 2019.

LAST MINUTE IDEAS... and if you get really stuck I am happy to make up a nice gift pack with a voucher that can be used for classes or products.  Treat a friend or drop a hint that it might be what YOU would like in your stocking on Christmas morning.

November/December catalogue is still available, so check it out on the tab above and drop me an email or sign up for your own account (a handy thing to have for our annual sale in the new year).

I'll leave you with a couple of quick pages I've done with the new Celestial template.  It is so lovely to work with - great for photos with large subjects, or when you want to see lots of the photo.


Some of the ladies who come to class have done some great pages with these templates already... I'll put them up on my facebook page in the next couple of weeks so watch out for them.

(Friends and regular class attendees will know I love libraries, these photos where taken in Gladstone's Library in North Wales on a visit to my folks last year, really interesting and very special library... but then I'm biased, lol).

We might squeeze a class in before Christmas... I've got the rellies arriving for Christmas so once I'm all set I'll drop another message here with a date.  Watch this space.

Have a wonderful holiday with those you love, take lots of photos to scrap next year, be safe, be kind, be happy.

November and December New Products

Christmas is fast approaching and we are celebrating early by introducing our Christmas range in November - so you have it in time for your last minute Christmas cards and the pages you want to make in January.  

It is a bumper edition so do grab a brew and take sometime away from the hussell and bussell of end of year preparations and have a browse.  Just drop me an email if you wish to order, or you can have it delivered to your doorstep by ordering it on line yourself - please don't forget to pop me down as your consultant.  Did you know we can also fulfil international orders?  Tell your friends overseas or surprise them with a crafty Christmas gift.  My next order will go in tomorrow (Wed) night so get in quick if you want it to come to Bunbury for your collection - and save a bit by sharing the post cost.

I don't want to give too much away and spoil the surprise, but in addition to a brand new studio (which is really a basket in it's own right), we have not one, but TWO baskets giving you terrific value - so you have one for scrap, one for deco and one for cardmaking... here is a quick peek...

Celestial Basket

Silent Night deco basket

Star cardmaking & deco basket

to see the full things you'll have to go to the catalogue.  I'm loving the template and deco stencils, the stamps are going to be so useful - especially the music ones, who doesn't have a musical person in the family - they will make great cards.  ANd I reckon I could use that on page after page, any celebration, concert or just the kids playing with upturned boxes!

November Classes in Bunbury

Saturday 3 November – all day - Deco Stencil Course Month 4 (class full)
Thursday 15 November – 7.30 pm to 10.30pm - Beginners / Intermediate
Saturday 17 November – 2pm to 5pm – Beginners / Intermediate
Saturday 24 November – 9.30am to 5pm – Double (all day) class n’ scrap: improve your skills and practice time, come to both or just one (class + scrap = $45) byo lunch.

** After 12 November I'm happy to do daytime classes Mon - Thurs - just contact me to arrange it.**

Have fun browsing and I'll be back with some pages soon.

Happy scrappin,
Barb :-)

New October products

Hello everyone,

It's that time of the month again when I have the pleasure of introducing our new products to you...

October has lots to excite your crafting senses... we have a new Azza Scrap (ideal for beginners to our style or scrapping) and no less than THREE new sets of themed products - great for decorations on pages, cards or off the page products.   You will be spoilt for choice... grab a brew, and pen and paper, open the October catalogue in the tab above and settle down for a treat.  Make a note of anything you'd like to see, ask me about or wish to order and enjoy.

To give you just a hint or two, here is the Azza Scrap Unique Moments:
In addition to the reusable template there are ideas & sketch sheets, pages (enough for 16 layouts), a sheet of paper lace and decorative stencil.   You'll be making stunning layouts in no time.

The October Basket is the Water theme - you can buy each of these individually, but you get a 10% discount for purchasing them all together (as a 'basket') and that offer is only available for one month, so get in quick!

I'm going to leave you to find the 'around the world' stamps (even a fair-dinkum Aussie set) and the stunning Halloween theme - look out for the glow in the dark embossing powder!

This month is a busy one for us at Azza with our Consultants Conference in Queensland mid month.  I'm really looking forward to learning some new techniques and seeing all my colleagues again.  I love getting together, exchanging ideas and having a laugh.   Those of you who have followed this blog for some time will know we have a fancy dress each year, this year is our 10th Birthday, so that is our dress-up theme... photos will be posted.   It is at our conference that we will be finding out what we will be doing with you at our Azza Birthday Retreat in March.  To learn more about that check out the event on my facebook page, or drop me a line and I can send you the details.

Classes will still go ahead in Eaton so do get in touch if you want to book in. There is no chance of adding extra classes this month so places will be limited.

until next time, Happy Scrappin'
Barb
