Happy Azza New Year

Happy New Year Everyone,

I hope you received lots of lovely crafty things for Christmas.
If you are still waiting for Santa to fill your stockings, or just can't get enough crafty stuff, below I have attached the latest new products from AZZA.

You'll see we have a fantastic new tool - all concentric circles, in fact, 3 different sizes.  These plastic circles pop out of each other to give almost infinite number of masks to use when you are chalking, inking or just wanting to mark your photos/paper to cut.   I know we have been creating already in 2016 and have found them SOOOO useful.

Let me know if you want to order anything - just send me your name and contact details and the code & name of the products, and i'll be in touch.

Keep watching this blog to see our clearance items coming soon (see 'follow by email' on the right, and you'll get email updates)

Meanwhile, have a wonderful 2016, keep healthy and crafty, enjoy time with your loved ones and a little for yourself too.

Dear Scrappers,

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas, and for those who celebrate other special events this time of year, that you shared good times with those you love too.

I’m sure a few of you would have been working, and we thank those of you in health, emergency, retail and hospitality who gave up some of your time to ensure others were looked after.  I hope you are able to catch up with loved ones soon.

As the year comes towards the end I find myself filling up calendars for 2016 with birthdays, anniversaries and other special events I don’t want to miss.  So whilst you’ve got yours out, why not put an (A) for Azza against our class dates for 2016 – even if you don’t yet know if you will make it.  That way you can drop me a line and book in when you do know.  Of course, if you can’t make any of the dates you can drop me a line with the dates when your group meets and see if we can tie up something just for you.

Don’t forget too, those of you out of metro, we now have a camper van and are always looking for an excuse to head out, so again, drop me a line and let me know what you would like, where and when and we’ll see if we can’t make a date.  I’m happy to do a full day for those in the country if that makes it more worthwhile for your ladies.

So those date for your calendar:

I’m also happy to do Skype classes if you can’t make it to me, and I can’t make it to you… only difference is, you have to supply everything you need!

And I can do card classes… mmm something new…

Watch out – details of our annual clearance coming on 11 January.  Be ready to get in quick with your order, sale items always fly out of the door quickly.

I’m looking forward to bringing some exciting new products to you in 2016, and wait with anticipation our new catalogue which we hope to be here late Feb or early March.   

New Toronto Studio Template, Mandela Decorative Theme kit and Focus Box Leaves

It's been a couple of months since we have had a whole new set of Azza products to play with so we've been having great fun playing and putting all sorts of ideas on our pages to inspire you.

If you have been following Azza for a while you'll know that they often bring out a set or two of specialist pages - that is, pre-cut pages to complement the 30x30 scrapbooking pages and add a bit of extra interest or 'va-va-boom!' to your albums.  These 'Leaves' are no exemption.  in each kit you get two sets of one 30x30 page, plus two rounded sheets and one circular sheet, cut in half.  Use some or all of them, mix and match, add them together, twist them round, loads of different ways to use them.  As always they compliment the latest template, in this case the beautiful Toronto.   But this one is different...  

Rather than get the traditional two templates you get one, plus a set set of stencils to assist in the decorative work - so that you can blank of to create uninterrupted chalk or ink waves and curves for example.  It makes life soooo easy.  Talking of decoration, the Theme kit is just divine.

Mandela is so versatile, I have used it to make tyres for a car page, and flowers for a ... well, flowery page, and here with the Leaves just as a random decoration.  

I'd better stop rabbiting on and let you have a look at the pages.  What do you think?   

If you'd like to have a go at making a page why not come to a class. Don't forget, all sets and individual items can be purchased from me. Either collect from me (Beeliar, WA) or I can send.  Drop me a line and I'll see how I can help.

PAGE 1 - FRONT OF ALL 3 SHEETS

PAGE 2 - BACK OF FIRST LEAF

PAGE 3 - FRONT OF SECOND LEAF  

 PAGE 4 - BACK OF SECOND LEAF

FINALLY, PAGE 5 - FRONT OF 30X30CM PAGE

Yes there is another page on the back of this, but you'll have to come to class to see it.  Well I can't show you everything all at once, now can I?

Congratulations to Angel L for coming second in the national competition with this excellent page!  Angela used the Macao/Bilbao template, and echoed the striations in Wave Rock with different coloured sand.  It's a great page showing a lovely family holiday in WA's  Eastern Wheatbelt.

Thanks for letting me publish it Angela.

Competition - "Textures!"

Dear Scrappers,

Our new competition has been launched - see full details below.  If you want to enter and are not quite sure what to do, or how to use textures why not book into a class?  I have two available in June:
Saturday 13 and Saturday 27.   Contact me to book in.

I'm also happy to scan any entries for you so that your pages look really good.  I'll then email them to you for you to send on to Roxy.

Looking forward to seeing some lovely textures on your pages this month.

Happy Scrappin'

Scrappers, I'm pleased to announce that we have booked Swanleigh as the venue for our Azza West Weekend Away 2015.  

The accommodation is lovely and the scrapping space is wonderful too - thanks Ros for checking it out.   It has been highly recommended and I am assured the food is quite delicious.    

We're planning a special project for you and all scrappers get an Azza goody bag to use over the weekend and take home.  You don't need your own gear as we will have everything you need - but if you have then obviously you can bring it along.

If you are new to Azza we'll be running a special class on the Friday afternoon to get you started, or you can get some help with your unfinished pages, or photos you are stuck on.

You can come all weekend, just for the day time on Saturday, or even book in to stay for dinner and extended scrapping into the night.  

All you need to do is ask me for a booking form, complete and send it back.

Drop me a line at barbara.azza@gmail.com and I'll send it on to you.

Happy Scrapping,
Barbara
