Projects For Monday's Technique Class!

Yahoo! Monday is a go as I had a few more ladies register to attend soooo... first off...

Thank you (in advance) to Deborah, Jen and Jennifer for coming Monday night :o) I can take new guests up until tomorrow night in order to have project material pre-cut for Monday evening's class.


I will be demonstrating all 3 projects and guests will get to make 2 of them - due to time. Guests will get to choose to make 1 of the cards and the 3D Clipboard project! I'm so happy with these projects as the techniques were chosen by the guests themselves so it was a nice challenge for me to come up with some new stuff!


The techniques you will learn include:

• Watercolouring with markers
• Masking
• Versamark Resist / Brayering
• Embossing with Iridescent Ice powder
• Using chipboard coasters to create project ideas

Well worth your $5 class fee - I promise you that ! Contact me at lisaburns@rogers.com for more details or to register. Class start time - 630pm Class finish time - 800pm

Thank you to Lisa Martz (SCS) and Heather Bennett (a fellow SU! demo) for the inspiration behind these adorable little 'Wish List' clipboards!


Enjoy your weekend everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Harmony & Accents Class Projects!

Ok Ladies ... where are all the keen ladies that wanted to get their Holiday Cards done early this year??? I know you are out there so hopefully this class will encourage you to come on out and have some fun making a handful of cards!

When: Monday November 19th (630am start time)

Where: my craft room - details, with directions to be provided to RSVP'ers

Guests will get to make a total of 6 cards using preordered Designer Paper and a Holiday Accent Kit. The supplies used for these projects where SO MUCH FUN!

Cost - $40 which includes the Holiday Harmony Designer Paper package AND the Hand Selected Accents & Elements Kit AND the class fee! Take-out packages available (i.e. if you can't make the class date but would still like the supplies being ordered & the projects)!

Look at everything you get to make - let's fill this one up early so that I can perhaps add another class date before the Holidays!! Got the inspiration for these cards from Patty's Blog (http://pattystamps.typepad.com/pattys_stamping_spot/2007/10/index.html) - thanks for the awesome ideas Patty!

Early Bird Special - Register for this class by Tuesday October 30th and receive a special gift from me!

Regular RSVP deadline will be Monday November 5th in order to have all supplies ordered & in on time for the class.

Brag Book Sample - Friday Oct 26 Class

When: Friday October 26 2007 (630pm start time) - Brag Book Class

Where: my craft room - details, with directions to be provided to RSVP'ers

Guests will learn (& then make) 2 Winter Brag Books at this class, plus 1 bonus card. I was thinking last night that it would be fun to make a Halloween Brag Book so if you are interested in making one of these for the pics of the kiddies on that frightful night - let me know and I'll prepare the supplies for you (1 Halloween Brag Book + 1 Winter Brag Book). If you prefer to stick to the Winter theme - that's A-OK too!

Cost - $20 with a $10 credit back at then end of the class to be used toward an order


These Brag Books are made from scratch, with clear pages on the inside - perfect for loading up with a few pictures and giving away to a loved one! Much easier to complete than a full scrapbook and let's be real - you can't possibly make a scrapbook for everyone you want to! The Brag Book is a wonderful alternative! OR keep it for yourself, in your purse, at the office, for your kids to take to school... the possibilities are endless.


Here's a sample of a Brag Book I made last year for my Mom! The 'tree' set used is retired now :o( but I'm sure I can find another holiday set that will work!!

Have a great night everyone!

Simply Scrappin' Class

When: Wednesday October 24 2007 (630pm start time) - 12x12 Scrapbooking Class

Guests will get to make 1 12x12 scrapbook page and 1 card using the Creative Licence Simply Scrappin' Kit. A full kit will be placed on the tables for you to either make your very own creations or you'll have inspiration from a few projects I've done up - whichever you prefer!

Cost - FREE with the purchase of any Simply Scrappin' Kit order at the end of the class. Click here to view the Simply Scrappin' Kits you can choose from: http://catalogs.shoplocal.com/Stampinup/index.aspx?pagename=shopmain&fsid=2dcb31f1-19f9-4606-84b6-280bf10ba045&storeid=1039273&circularid=11000

The kit we'll be using at this class is actually a Hostess Reward so after using it, you may decide you'd like more information about how to earn it for free - I can help with that!

Here's what you can expect to get in every Simply Scrappin' Kit in case you can't make it but would still like to order. Those that do place 'take-out' orders will have the projects made for them and placed in their order bags (including a 12x12 scrapbook page & 1 card)

6 sheets of 2 different Designer Double-Sided Paper

6 sheets of 3 different textured cardstock

6 sheets of self-adhesive die-cuts that coordinate with all paper/cardstock
