I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

_________________________________________________________________________________
A change to the schedule:  The Glitter Class on Saturday, September 28 is at 10:30 ONLY.  There is no 6:30 class.

This is the Christmas card design for September.  Just a reminder: The classes fill very quickly so if you're interested in one of our five classes, call soon to reserve a spot.













Below are the two pop-up cards for the Pop-Up Class on Thursday, September 12.  They are really cute and are waiting to be sent to someone you know for Halloween.


                        


This is the Wedding Cake Explode Box we will be making on Saturday, September 21.  We want you to make the box in the colors you need, so if you sign up for this class, you will need to come in ahead of time and pick out your papers.

September Schedule


Thought for the day:  Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?_________________________________________________________________

We will be having our annual Sidewalk Sale from Friday, September 6 through Saturday, September 14.  We will have tables set up on the sidewalk (duh!) with lots of clearance items and special deals.  Make sure you stop by and check things out.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Our  schedule for September has been finalized and we're excited about the lineup of classes.

  • Thursday 9/12 - Halloween Pop-Up Cards - This class is pretty self-explanatory. We'll be making two pop-up cards using the Sizzix dies, this time with a Halloween theme.
  • Saturday 9/14 -  Our Stencil Card Class will feature three different techniques using a beautiful butterfly stencil.  Your class fee includes the stencil.
  • Tuesday 9/17 - We'll be making two cards using Art Impressions' "Try"Fold kit.  One will be a gate-fold cut-away card, and the other will be a variation using techniques you can use at home.
  • Wednesday 9/18 - Our Double Page Scrapbook Layout will feature the colorful Bohemian Bazaar papers from Graphic 45.  Everyone loves them but doesn't know what to do with them.  Join us and find out.
  • Saturday 9/21 - So many of you have admired the lovely Wedding Cake in an Explode Box and have asked for a class. We have found some materials that will allow us to be able to create this masterpiece in a class period without compromising its beauty.  This box would make a treasured gift for the bride to be in your life.
  • Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9/24, 25, 26 - In our Christmas Card Class we will be making another beautiful nature-themed card.  Make 10 of the same design.
  • Saturday 9/28 - Our Glitter Class goes way beyond glitter.  We'll be working with a number of Elizabeth Craft Designs products including microfine glitter, shimmer sheets, and peel-offs.  We'll be teaching you a new technique that transfers the shimmer from the shimmer sheet to your cardstock where it is enhanced with glitter.  Try it, you'll like it!

We've been ordering all kinds of new merchandise and thought we'd show you some of the items that have already arrived .  The "Happy Harvest" line of papers has come in from Doodlebug, and we just love the brilliant fall colors and designs.


                                                                         


Also from Doodlebug and thinking ahead to Halloween, we've gotten some really cute washi tapes. They work just like a roll of tape for a fun and easy way to embellish your projects.



Our order from Petaloo has arrived and includes a large assortment of flower and butterfly embellishments.  You'll definitely find something that will match your cards and scrapbook pages.



The response to our August class schedule has been wonderful and we've had a great time so far working and playing with all of you. We'll be posting the September schedule soon and hope you'll find something in it for you.  See you soon!
