For those of you registered for the Autumn Escape 2010, class descriptions are below.
Classes are $48 each and are optional, email Lucy with your requests, but be quick, class space is limited!
Class 1 "The Boy's Triple Double" (Layout class ) by Kelly Goree.
1.00pm - 3.00pm Friday SOLD OUT
2.00pm - 4.00pm Saturday
As a Mom of three boys herself, if any one knows about scrapbooking for boys, it's Kelly Goree! In her Triple Double class, you'll create three (yes THREE!) double page layouts that are clean, classic and full of color! These layouts use the standard 4"x6" photo size so you'll also be able to re-use the designs again and again for all those prints you've been hoarding!
Class 2: "Sew Me" (Mini Album Class) by Rachel Tucker.
4.00pm - 6.00pm Friday
2.00pm - 4.00pm Saturday
One of Rachel’s favourite scrapbooking 'products' is fabric, and one of her favourite 'tools' is a needle. Let Rachel show you how a little bit of hand stitching and a whole lot of traditional scrapbooking product can turn something simple into something spectacular. This class is all about showing you how easy it is to build an album that could have any number of uses - canvas fabric, patterned paper and gorgeous embellishments make it oh sew easy!
Class 3: "Pages like that" (Layout class) by Nic Howard.
1.00pm - 3.00pm Friday
8.30am - 10.30am Saturday *ONLY 3 SPACES LEFT*
When you look at a typical Nic Howard layout what is it that you see? Layering of coordinating papers, distressing, clustering, clever embellishing and details that all come together to create a layout full of dimension. Nic's goal is to create all this while still allowing the story and photos to shine. Join Nic as she creates a double page layout (or two singles) while taking you through the techniques she is most often asked about. Those of you that have been asking... here is the class teaching you all you ever wanted to know to complete "Pages like that!"
Class 4 "Design Stars" (Design/layout class) by Kelly Goree.
4.00pm - 6.00pm Friday *Only 5 spaces left*
11.00am - 1.00pm Saturday
BasicGrey designer Kelly Goree is known for her clean style and timeless, classic design. In this class, she'll share her secrets to design basics so you can develop your own well-balanced designs time and time again. In class you'll not only learn her tricks, but you'll complete one double-page layout as well as be provided an additional design sketch to practice your newly learned skills.
Class 5: "You're Still the One" (Album) by Kelly Goree.
4.30pm - 6.30pm Saturday
As scrapbookers we are often overlooked when it comes to our own albums, photos and story telling. This class will focus completely on YOU - your goals, your childhood, your life, a way to get down YOUR story - all captured in an adorable mini-album format that you can embellish to your heart's content. Join Kelly Goree as she takes an everyday household item and completely re-purposes it into an album you'll be proud of. Add your story following her journaling prompts and the album is complete - nothing like a new twist on days gone past!
Class 6: "It's in the details" (Layout Class) by Rachel Tucker.
8.30am - 10.30am Saturday
4.30pm - 6.30pm Saturday
Rachel Tucker is well known for her intricate layouts full of gorgeous detail, and the project for this class is no exception! Join Rachel as she works with a range of trinkets and treasures to create something that will take pride of place on your wall or in your album. You'll walk away with a completed single layout, but the bonus of this class? A sketch with enough product and inspiration to create a second page in your own time- perfect for those of you that create double page layouts!
Class 7: "The Altered Book Buffet" (Altered book and cards) by Nic Howard
(previously taught as 'The Gift Class' at SENZ - but with an added twist...read on!)
11.00am - 1.00pm Saturday
If you are looking to create something special for someone, or if you just love to create gorgeous projects for yourself, then this class is for you. Join Nic Howard as she takes an a plain composition book and turns it into something fabulous, showing you just how easy it is to create something special!. You'll walk away from "The Altered Book Buffet" class with a completed altered composition book, a set of cards and some gift-tags, all created using the much talked about 'Bloom Buffet'...laid out for you complete with crystals, leaves, buttons, bling and flowers in every colour you can cr-EAT-e with! You'll be set for cards and a present for that next special occasion or shhhhhhh keep them yourself, we won't tell

Update!
It's come to our attention here at the Autumn Escape that there is rumour that registration is not open to everyone - and that it's just open to this year's participants - not so!!
Registration is open to everyone...come one, come all... join the dozens of lovely ladies from all over NZ and even Australia!! Email Lucy for the forms.
As of a week ago we were nearly at sell-out point... since then we have secured another 20-odd spaces... so there is room for a few more before it sells out. I wouldn't muck around though. Lucy hasn't surfaced for days, she must be stuck under a pile of paperwork! And remember if she doesn't answer your registration or email within a day or so, please re-send!
Still working on that 3rd tutor....

Autumn Escape 2010 registration open!!
When is Autumn Escape next year?
Autumn Escape will be held on the weekend of April 16th, 17th and 18th next year- it's the last week of school holidays, it's a perfect way to end a few weeks with the kids!
We are thrilled to say that it will be a LONGER event next year! Autumn Escape registration will now open mid-morning on Friday the 16th and the crop room will be open all day!
Will there be classes on offer?
Classes will be spread out over the Friday and the Saturday with not two, but three tutors to chose from.
Who are the tutors?
We can't give you all the details just yet, but we can tell you that we have Nic Howard back on board teaching for 2010, and we are adding Rachel Tucker to the team! Rachel is an experienced teacher, and she comes with glowing references, we know you'll love the classes she will offer. There will be a third tutor but this is still being finalised, we have to keep some things a surprise for a while!
When will classes descriptions be released?
At the present time we are only opening registration for the event. We are not opening registration for classes. Because the event is still 11 months away and products and trends within the hobby can change so much in that time, we have chosen not to release class descriptions just yet. We can tell you that we are hoping for around six different classes to choose from and they will run at approximately the same price as this year. Those that register for the Autumn Escape will be notified when class registration opens!
So how do I register?
Email Lucy at the address at the top of the right sidebar. Fill out the registration form and send it back to us! We usually answer emails within 24-48 hours so if you don't hear an answer to any of your emails, please be sure to try again.
Your place at the event can be confirmed with the registration form and a deposit of $50. We have decided to keep the event to the same maximums we had this year, so places are limited.
Do you have a payment plan?
Yes! There are derails of cost and a structured payment plan outlined on the registration form, but if you wish to pay little bits off more often, you can! If you wish to start putting little bits away for the classes, you can! We have 11 months until the event, so there is plenty of time and an update of your balance can be obtained by emailing Lucy at any time.
So that's it! We are opening the gates for registration!!
We hope to see you there!

What a weekend...
I really don't know if I can fit all that happened at the 2009 Autumn Escape into one post. I do know that the time flew like it never has before. One minute Lucy, Lynda and I were travelling down to Taupo, marvelling at the gorgeous colours of the trees - really, we don't get them as gorgeous up here in Auckland, and the next thing I knew we were driving home again, chatting all the way about the very cool weekend we'd had and the amazing group of ladies we'd met. Here is a group of photos from Kim Archer...
And lookie here - a wonderful video. I needed tissues to look at this but perhaps because it's the first time I've seen all our hard work pulled together in just over 3 minutes... lol...
Kim's Video.
Pssssst - there are rumours out there that a 2010 date has been penciled in with the venue, that the Autumn Escape 2010 will include a FULL day on the Friday and that there will be more optional classes spread over 2 days! Yep - we listened to all those feedback forms! We are just working with the resort now to get it all confirmed, it's taking a while because there are a few extra costs with the conference centre for the extra day and we are working on the package - watch this space for details of registration opening very soon!
