Christmas Card Charity Workshop

I am so pleased to be able to invite you all to another Christmas Card Charity Workshop. It is held at many locations and at different dates so there should be a date on your calendar that will suit.

Those that have been before know what fun the day is and know what we are supporting with this event. If you are new and would like to know more, let me explain. Each year since 2008 the annual Paper Angels Christmas Card Workshops raise funds to purchase and supply Footprint Cards to the Hospitals Bereavement Program, we started with the Mater Hospital and we now supply Redlands, Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

The Mater Mother's Bereavement Support Program is provided with the materials they would need to ensure footprints of those babies who don't make it home be made into special footprint cards along with name plaques, to allow families to honour and cherish their babies.  A box full of materials needed to complete the treasured footprint card for the grieving parents, is supplied to each hospital as well as teaching the staff how to stamp the names and footprints. The card is such a small gesture, but a meaningful record that can be shared, as grieving parents come to terms with their loss.

I will be at all of these venues - Pine Rivers, Thornlands, Carina and Wellington Point. The day runs from 10am to 4pm with a break for lunch in the Bistro (please BYO cash for your lunch) and the afternoon tea will be provided. If you have any questions at all please contact me on 0402441964 or email zenakennedy@lizzy.com.au

I am taking bookings and payments starting NOW! So book in ASAP to reserve your spot. Anyone going to Poro Cafe Thornlands needs to book right now as there are only 2 spots left.

Bookings will close 2 weeks before each event to ensure enough time to order all the materials.

Class by request

I have been asked to do a special technique with the Woodland embossing folder for my next class. It just takes our embossing folders to the next level. It's been a while since I had a Wednesday class, as I have been so busy with the Charity Christmas Card workshops. They have been really well received and the projects we have been making are gorgeous. So stay tuned as I will be posting them up shortly.

Come and see what we can make by special request.
When: Wednesday 8th November 10am
Cost: $10
Where: Zena's Craft Studio in Wellington Point (email me for the address)

Please RSVP so that I can prepare all the kits.
Please bring your ‘basic kit’ to each class. This includes a paper trimmer, tape runner, double sided foam tape, multipurpose liquid adhesive and scissors.

 * If you are a beginner and do not have a kit, there will be kits available for sale.

Cancelled for a good cause

I'm so sorry to my lovely ladies that come to my card classes. There are no card classes again this week as my studio is still being used as the assembly area for the Carina Christmas Card Workshop. Thankfully the event is on Sunday and I will have my room back. It has been such a busy time as I was helping at many of the events around Brisbane and this means make a mess, clean up, make a mess clean up, repeat!!!

It is now too late to join in at Carina but maybe able to squeeze in at Wellington Point and if you are up on the Sunshine Coast then you are not too late for Cooroy.

Look at some of the displays we had at Pine Rivers and Thornlands.






The raffle prizes were all donated by Stampin' Up! and we are so grateful for all the wonderful goodies they give us each year.

Such a good cause, raising funds for our Footprint Program. This allows us to supply hospitals with cards and all the supplies to make a card or cards as a footprint record. 

Bookings for Christmas Card Workshop closing soon

Don't panic, it is only the Bookings for the first two events which will be on the 21st and 22nd October. We need to get the ordering done in time to get them delivered in enough time to prepare all the kits.

So make sure you check the date of the one you want to attend and allow 2 weeks for ordering.

I am so excited! If you have been before you know what fun the day is and know what we are supporting with this event. If you are new it is about raising funds for our Footprint program, we supply hospitals with cards and all the supplies to make a card or cards as a footprint record. Whilst a footprint record may seem like a small gesture, it is a meaningful record that can be shared, as grieving parents come to terms with their loss.

I will be at most venues and look forward to guiding you through our gorgeous projects. The day runs from 10am to 4pm (Thornlands is 9am - 3pm) with a break for lunch which you can purchase in the venues bistro and the afternoon tea will be provided.

If you have any questions at all please contact me. I am taking bookings and payments now, so please book in ASAP to reserve your spot. Bookings will close 2 weeks before each event to ensure enough time to order all the materials.

Charity Christmas Card Workshops

There is still a small window of time to book in to some of the venues around Brisbane, Carara and Cooroy. So if you want to come along and have a fun, fun day crafting, please contact me.

 

We had the first of our charity days at Carina Leagues Club last Sunday.  It was a wonderful day, all the projects were beautiful and everyone loved what they created out of this tag kit.  

All the Paper Angels came in early and set up the tables...

arranged the raffles...

and the Display Boards.

Then it was heads down and the fun began. 

To complete the day all the raffles were excitedly claimed. Stampin' Up! generously donate all the raffle prizes for our charity events, they are such a giving company.
