For our April Scrapbooking night we will be making this rock'in two page layout using the You Rock paper found on page 22 and 23 of the Spring idea book. We will also be using our sanding block to create some texture around our picture frames and using the rubber brayer found on page 97 to create some outdoor denim cardstock out of white daisy cardstock. And if you want to add a little extra to your page you can create some stars using gold embossing powder. It is sure to be a fun night!

February Club Night Project

Ladies,

This month we will be making a two page layout using Topstitch paper, found on page 14 and 15 of the new spring idea book. This paper would make excellent Valentine's Day layouts and cards as well as any children pages or loved one's. We will be using the faux base and shade stamping techniques as well as experimenting with liquid glass and Prisma glitter. It should be a great time! I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.

Correction to Valentine's Day Card Class

There are two important things I need to share with you regarding the Valentine's Day card class I will be hosting.
1. I have to cancel the Friday night class as I have to take an unexpected trip for work. Therefore I will be offering the Saturday afternoon childrens class as well as the Saturday night adults class.
2. Anyone who makes a $50 purchase before shipping and taxes will have their name entered to win the beautiful stamp set shown below.
I look forward to see you all at the card class!

Valentine’s Day Card Class

It is that time of year again when we need to start thinking about making Valentine’s Day cards for our loved ones and friends. I will be hosting a card class on the evening of January 23 from 6:30 to 9:30 for adults where we will be making the 5 cards shown below. There are only 8 spots available for this class so please send me an email to sign up. I am also hosting a kids Valentine's Day card class on the 23rd from 1:00 to 3:00, cards to be determined so send me an email if you have children who would like to attend.

January Club Night Project

Ladies,

This month we are going to be making a beautiful two page layout using the Veranda paper collection found on page 10 and 11 of the new Spring idea book. This paper is great for capturing memories from an outdoor trip, special occasion or childhood event. We will be using three new products from the idea book including the new Spring Blossom paper flowers as well as the new Bitty Sparkles, and the new Fligree Charms. You will also learn a great new technique using the watercolor pencils and waterbrush to create the beautiful flower and butterfly's you see on the page. I am so excited to share this project with you! See you on the 19th!
