May Stack A Stash

This class has been so popular, we have added a new time.  We are now offering a morning class as well as the always full afternoon class.

What is Stack A Stash? Are you one of those people who, come November, are completely stressed out because Christmas is coming and you haven't even contemplated starting your Christmas cards? How about those last minute Birthday cards, do you have spares on hand?
Once a month we will be offering Stack A Stash, each month hosted by a different instructor. In these classes we will be making easy cards that can be adapted to any paper or sentiments.
These classes will be shorter, so that busy people will have a better chance of fitting them into their schedules. The class will always be the last Sunday of each month, so you can know well ahead of time when the classes will be offered. We will always do one Christmas card, and one all occasion card, but will do TWO of each design for a total of 4 cards per class.

Come to one class, or attend as many as you want.  All skill levels welcome.

MIXED MEDIA EVENT: For The Record

I am so excited to be part of the Mixed Media Event!

Upcycling is such a fun fad right now, and I couldn't resist incorporating an old vinyl LP into this cute little mini album. This is a modified paper bag album and has all sorts of nooks and crannies for you to tuck mementos and treasures into.  With Father's Day coming up, this would be a cool gift to make for the man in your life.  It goes without saying that this style of album can be adapted to fit any occasion that you might have in mind.

This project is packed full of techniques using tons of Tim Holtz products.  The photos don't do it justice, so next time you are by the store, come on in and take a look at the class sample.

PLEASE NOTE: You will be required to purchase a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Paper Stash 8x8 Collage pad [$9.99] for the class (sale priced at $6.99 for class participants).  If you have another paper pad that you wish to use, feel free to bring it instead.
