February Project / Projet pour février

The project for February is a Flipping Cube. This project will entertain anyone that picks it up because you can flip it inside out to reveal six more sides. As it has 12 possible faces, I made it into a calendar with one face per month. You can also use it to document Baby's 1st Year. Come learn how to transform eight wooden blocks into a beautiful masterpiece that you can display on your desk or coffee table. We will use SEI's Dill Blossom papers to decorate the cube. All materials supplied. Please bring a glue runner to adhere pictures.

Dates: Sunday, February 15th or Saturday, February 28th
Time: 1pm-4pm
Cost: $40

Register at lascrapitale@gmail.com or in person at the studio. Deposit required at the time of registration. List of tools to bring will be sent to you once you register.

Finished size: 5" cube

*A minimum of 4 people will be required or the class will be postponed or cancelled

Losing interest?

It seems that scrapbooking is slowly fizzling out in Quebec. In the last year, several stores have closed, including my own back in June 2008. It would be interesting to know if the scrapbooking bug has left Quebec. It seems like people just aren't into scrapbooking anymore and are moving on or leaving it behind. Or is it a result of there being less outlets to obtain supplies?

On an international level, it seems that attendance of both manufacturers and retailers at the major scrapbooking trade shows has also declined in the last couple of years. The current economic situation may be playing a role in this trend.

Have you lost the scrapping fever? Leave me your comments and be entered into a draw for a selection of American Craft 4ft ribbon spools.

Happy New Year! Bonne année!

I hope everyone had a good new year. I will get some new posts on the blog this week.

Je souhaite à tout le monde une bonne année. Je vais poster sur le blog cette semaine.
