Copic Marker Demo

Be sure to stop by the store this Saturday 1:00 - 3:00 to see what Liz has to show us about using Copic Markers. I've bought a few Copics myself and have not used them yet. I can't wait to see her presentation. And don't forget.. this is a FREE demo.

Greeting Card Organizer

Julie will be teaching this amazing class on Sunday, Jan 24 1:00 - 3:00. What a cool idea! Either to keep for yourself or for a gift. You will leave class with a month by month organizer to hold either handmade or store bought cards. Plus each month has a calendar where you can record important dates so you don't miss the event year after year. Just call the store to reserve a seat.

You never know what you will find. If you have some "treasures" at home that you want to sell, call the store for more details about participating. See you Saturday!

Brrr....

Brrr.... it's cold outside. But it's warm in the crop room! The first crop of 2010 is this Saturday, Jan 9 4 - 11 PM. Just call the store to reserve a seat. There are many more exciting events planned for January. The Crafters' garage sale is Jan 16 and Mark from Deadbeat Designs is conducting a workshop on Jan 17. The full schedule is available on the store website.

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2010! A new year and a chance to learn new skills. If you are curious about paper crafting or want to learn more about scrapbooking, then this is your chance. On January 9 10:30-12:30, the store will offer a Scrapbook 101 class. We will cover design basics and explore using different tools. Every attendee will leave the class with a completed 12 x 12 layout. And the best part is that the class is FREE. Just call the store (627-2767) to reserve your seat in the class. Be sure to bring along 3-5 photos to use in your layout.

New Piggy Tales Collection

Piggy Tales has a delightful line in the store called "5 Little Ducks Collection." It really is suitable for more than baby-themed projects. This layout was created with 3 of the double-sided cardstock papers. I also used a Hero Arts rubber stamp to create the flourish embellishment. (I always forget that rubber stamps can be used for more than cards.) Unfortunately this photo does not emphasize the details; parts of the flourish are decorated with Basic Grey bling.

The note card below was created from 1/2 sheet of this collection. It could be used as a note card, kid's birthday card, or party invitation. Select strips were cut out from the paper and arranged on the front of a plain white card. Another strip was glued to the inside of the card. Very fast and easy project!
