NEW SUPER SIZED CLASSROOM BRINGS NEW EXCITEMENT FOR 2020

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

If you haven't visited one of Brisbane's fabulous scrapbooking, papercraft and mixed media stores, we invite you to come and have a look around.

The store is under the new management of Karenina Maitland Taylor and is alive with new opportunities, exciting events and familiar staff you have come to know and trust to guide you.

We often have people visit who are surprised at the size of the store after entering the front door.

The view from the street doesn't do justice to the amount of space we have inside and after visiting stores across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, I can honestly say that A Place to Create is one of the largest and best stocked stores in the country.

Despite having 5 rooms of stock, we still have a small class area which can be used for smaller classes and scrap and chats but we also have a very large air conditioned space.  

This new air conditioned space and comfort has allowed us to expand our class options for 2020 as well as invite talented teachers to share their passion with you.

We will also be hiring this room  out this year so if you have a group (be it craft or otherwise) and need a large air conditioned space for whatever it is you want to do, please enquire with Karenina on 3851 2200 or email info@aplacetocreate.com.au

Last weekend we saw the gorgeous Erin Bruton from Celebr8 South Africa and 

Jenny Heaslip from Celebr8 Australia, entertain 100 ladies.

Next weekend on Saturday 22nd February, sees the vibrant Yvette Fanciulli join us to get messy and colourful with Uniquely Creative and Dylusions products in a class open to both scrapbookers and card makers alike.

On March 14th, the space will transform into one of Brisbane's biggest craft de-stash sales where crafters will offload their unwanted crafting materials and shoppers will revel in the wonderous finds and bargains to be had.

Join our event on facebook to stay updated and be reminded so you don't miss out.

On the last weekend of March, another local talent, Michelle Grant joins us for 3 fabulous class opportunities.  Saturday 28th March will see participants partake in a full day of mixed media mayhem exploring many techniques with mixed media elements. 

Whether you are a card maker or scrapbooker, the techniques remain the same - just the size changes so this class is a must for anyone wanting an introduction to mixed media or try new techniques.

Sunday will consist of 2 classes and you can stay updated by joining the event on Facebook.

All the details for upcoming classes can be found on our Classes / Events tab and some can also be found on Facebook Events which you can join to stay updated.

Thanks so much for joining us here and we hope to see you in store really soon as your custom and support is what allows us to stay open - supporting small businesses and bricks and mortar stores is becoming increasingly important in this digital age.  

Have a wonderful Sunday and do visit us soon.

COLOUR BLAST IS CHANGING HANDS AND MICHELLE GRANT'S NEW RELEASE IS HERE

For those who follow news in the industry, you may be aware that we support local talent and local distributors wherever possible.  Colour Blast is one such distributor and has more recently been our supplier for the amazing works of Michelle Grant Designs, a gorgeous Queensland girl who we have been lucky enough to have teach for us at A Place to Create.

Two bits of news here today, firstly Colour Blast has been up for sale and as of last week was sold pending handover and finalising of some details. 

This is great news for Colour Blast and for you as it hopefully means that we haven't lost another local supplier.

It does however pose a little problem for this fabulous new range in that we won't be able to place reorders for this or any other Colour Blast until the new owners set up new accounts, web ordering etc and advise of their operational date so please be patient if you are wanting any Colour Blast products.  For those who had orders in the book, I believe we filled them all in this latest order we have received so you will be contacted shortly.

Now onto exciting news and new products available:

Many of you will know Michelle's work from her many classes and demonstrations at shows over the years and this last weekend at Paperific in Melbourne.  Michelle's newest collection this month is called

and it is
 "dedicated to all those we have loved and lost".

We have filled all our pre-orders and had the help of many customers today whilst opening the packs which is wonderful however it also means that some of the collection has sold out already and we cannot advise a restock date given the sale of the company so if you are wanting any items we have run out, please give us time to make the necessary enquiries and organise a reorder with the new owners.

Meanwhile the papers, some stamps and stencils are all available in store so come on in and have a look.  They really are much  better in real life.

GRAFFITI GRUNGE DESIGNED BY MICHELLE GRANT DESIGNS RELEASES FEBRUARY

January saw Colour Blast release the "Spread Your Wings" Collection which was designed by Australia's own Michelle Grant and this collection is now available in store.
February is very much one for the boys or those who just don't do pretty with "Graffiti Grunge" offering some versatile backgrounds which live up to the collection title perfectly.

The stencils are just another must have item and work so well together.  Whether you scrapbook or just play with mixed media, these won't disappoint.

To finish off the range,  there are 3 extraordinary dies and 2 clear stamp sets.  

The dies cut beautifully with the images falling out easily despite the great detail in them.  

Again, these dies offer so much versatility for cards, mixed media or scrapbooking.

We have some layout kits ready to release also using this collection - hope you like them.

 A collection pack with all papers and cut out sheets will be available also.  Phone the store on  

3851 2200 or email gayle@aplacetocreate.com.au to reserve your "must haves" or simply ask for more information.

Happy Creating Gayle
