Make up Class & Stamp a Stack

I am offering a make-up class for those that had to miss a class that they really wanted to attend! I will have available all of the workshops we have done so far, just let me know which one you are interested in.

Because of time constraints (or unless you want to be here until 2am!), you will likely only have time to pick one of these. Don't worry, I will offer another make-up class in October-ish, so you will be able to do it again then!Please let me know asap if you are thinking of attending...depending on the volume of people for each craft I may have to order more supplies...would need to order by June 18th, latest.

STAMP A STACK - if you are interested in making a bunch of cards all in one night (or scrapbook pages), please come and have fun. You are able to use all my stamps, inks, tools, and a limited amount of paper & embellishments for $5 (bring most of your own paper & brads etc, but you can use my "perfect match" when you need it! If you don't use my paper it's free. My stamps, inks, etc are always free to use)

CLASSES AVAILABLE - let me know which you are interested in and I will get you the what to bring info. If you already did it, but want to do it again, tell me...it will be cheaper.

Baby's Book of Colors

Here is an example of a paper bag scrapbook, which we will be making in class on June 12th. I tried to make one last night, my first time! It turned out well, I think. Apologies, as the ribbon on the front is not SU, but it matched pretty well, so I thought I would use it. This front cover is a little more "boy" I suppose.

Also, I haven't placed my order for all the matching papers and inks I want to use, this was sort of a test run to see which colors would be best. I also don't have all these inks yet, so versamark and the pastels came in handy to keep everything matching!! Anyway, now that I'm done my "test" I can get my paper and ink order together!! I think we will pull out green, turquoise & purple, to keep the side ribbons more interesting...of course, people can do whichever they want, but I think that's how I'll do mine.

Cover, ribbon is not Stampin Up.

Orange, Yellow & Green, pulled out with a ribbon

Red, Black & White

Pink, Blue & Light Green pulled out

Purple on the back. There is a light brown inside (a pull out) the stamped image is a tie, but I didn't get it pictured. The ribbon is organza on that one and hard to see in the pics.

Paper Bag Scrapbook Workshop

DATE: Friday, June 12th

TIME: 7:30pm

COST: $15 and this will include an inkpad for you to keep. Please RSVP and let me know the color you want. (Or an approx, ie: dark purple and I will let you know your options). If you can't come last minute and still want the inkpad, you can just pay $6.00 and it's yours (note: you are saving on shipping here), otherwise I will add it to my collection:-)

*If you want to make 2, the second one will be $10, and you can get a second ink pad too.

OPTIONS:
1) You can make a baby's first colors book (similar to pictured) OR
2) You can make a little scrapbook or brag book for someone special or for yourself

BRING:
1) Adhesive!! We will be using quite a bit of it this time, so don't forget it.
2) If you would like to make a scrapbook, bring approx 10 pictures to make your album. Maybe all from a vacation, or all from the t-ball season etc. If you are having your digitals printed, I like to do a few b&w for some variety. There is places to "pull out" things in this book, so including ticket stubs or similar might be a fun thing to bring to pull out. I have a variety of Designer Paper that should work with lots of color schemes.

3) Paper cutter and scissors to share if you have them.

These pictures are NOT ones that I have personally created, we will be doing something similar. (To see one I made, click here)
