Upcoming Classes

Just wanted to share with you some classes coming up that I will be teaching . . . .

The first one is a Stationery Box Class that I'll be teaching on Thursday May 8th at the Paper Niche

  

Here's the Description:

Together we will create this adorable stationary box that you can give to Mom or keep for yourself! Along with the box we will create four cards, four note cards, and four tags. These all fit inside the box along with a dates to remember booklet and stamp holder. Everything you need to keep you organize for gift giving!

Please Bring Basic Tool Kit along with a Score Board/Bone Folder and pop dots

The next class I have coming up is at the Cheeky Chics Expression Getaway

This book can be whatever you want it to be. Art Journal, Day planner, year in review . . .It would make an adorable scrapbook too!

For this class I will be showing you how to alter this canvas cover, we'll take it from drab to fab in no time! I'll show you all kinds of techniques using acrylic paint, sprays, and modeling paste. We will have a "messy" good time! In class we will just be altering the outside cover. But just wait till you see what's on the inside!

This 7x9 Book is packed full of goodies, here's what's included for the inside pages . . . . paper envelope and paper pocket four folders and four photo sleeves (room for 16 - 4" x 6" photos)
two full page plastic sleeves and two business card sleeves (room for 16 standard sized business cards)
One full page bag with zipper and 12 customizable calendar pages
Three check lists and 40 pre-printed cardstock pages
One world map and one US map
One sticker sheet, one foam dot sheet and one ticket sheet

Here's a list of supplies you will need to bring: Basic Tool Kit, heat gun is a must, Apron if you have one, glue dots, glue-n-seal or modge podge, favorite wet adhesive, vintage photo distress ink and broken china distress inks with blending tool.  (the Cheeky Chics store carries Scrappy Glue, Ranger Heat guns, glue dots, Gesso which is  equivalent and in my opinion much better then Modge Podge, and the distress inks that Natasha has listed)  

Cost $40
Limited to 10 Students

Pen Tablet Class

For Christmas Jerry got me a Bamboo Craft Pen Tablet . So I signed up for Jessica Sprague's online class "Pen Tablet Basic's for Scrapbookers". I'm only on lesson three but I'm loving it! And if your reading my blog your looking at my handy work, I drew the martini in my banner! Ok, I'll admit it, I'm patting myself on the back . . . but It only took minutes to create my blog header. I'm thinking the more I practice the better I will get at the pen thing! If you ever get a chance to take a class from Jessica Sprague, do it! I love her teaching style and the great thing about her online classes verses some others are that you have access to your classes forever!

Valentine Glitter Cups

So for Valentines I made more glitter cups. I bought the small foam cups from the grocery store and made those for the kids classmates. Then I did the big ones for the Teachers. If you want to know how to do these just check out my Tutorial that I did for Halloween Glitter Cups!







And for the little glitter cups I put those in cellophane bags so it would be easier for the kids to carry to school.

I also made some valentine mussy tussy's . . . .





Now there are several different ways to make mussy tussy's but I found this tutorial to be the best or should I say easiest!

Cherry Pie Album

Here's a class description and some pictures for those of you are interested in taking my Life is Sweet, Cherry Pie Album Class. I'll be teaching it at the Hilltop Memories Annual Winter Retreat.

Life is Sweet, Cherry Pie Album

In this class we will be making a pie, but don't worry no baking skills required, our pie will be made out of paper!
When you lift up the top of the pie you will have 5 scrapbook album pages. The box underneath that the pie sits
on can be used to hold anything you want! This album is so cute just sitting on your counter for decoration.
In class I will teach you how to make the top of the album, your crust and filling then I will be giving you a pictured
instruction sheet and all the supplies you need to finish the inside of the album (the five pages) on your own,
outside of class. The hardest part of course is the outside. The inside is easy as pie! :-) Punt intended!

Supply List:

Paper Trimmer
Favorite Adhesive
Tim Holtz mini stapler
Distress Inks: Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy
Distress Ink Applicator

Optional:
Glossy Accents

*Note: if you don't have something on this list, don't worry you can use what I have!

I Won!

I'm so excited I won a spot in Shimelle's class "Journal your Christmas"! I love to visit Rhonna's blog and I have to admit I hardly ever enter comments to "win" prizes on blogs, I'm really pessimistic when it comes to winning prizes and things but I really wanted to take Shimelle's Class so I entered on Rhonna's Blog and won!

I'm actually done with the "Holiday's in Hand" class I didn't blog about every single day because most of the day's were preparation but my plan was to combine the "Holiday's in Hand" class with my "December Daily" Album inspired by Ali Edwards design. So now that I'm taking Shimelle's class I think I'll combine that also and custom make this album for me and to my liking! I will be posting pictures soon!

Holiday Projects

Just saw that Jessica Sprague is starting a Holiday Class and best of all its *free*! She says you don't need to know photoshop or Elements! I just signed up, thought I would share with my bloggers!

Holiday's in Hand




Also I'm working on Ali Edward's book . . .Its a December Daily Album basically you start your foundation of your book now and you have 25 pages or more so that when Dec. 1st rolls around you can easily add photo's and journal the whole month of December as a way to stop and remember the Holidays!
