Art and Mixed Media Technique Card Class

I'm so excited to bring you this class which lets you try a bunch of different techniques on a small project - a card!  In this class, you get to make 5 cards and we get to play with watercolor pencils, distress crayons, acrylic paint, color burst, and alcohol inks along with some stamping techniques.  Cost is $20 per person - great deal to try so many different techniques!  I hope you will join me in trying something new!

Fall is in the Air Class

Hi everyone!  It's amazing that it's already September - it's been a whirlwind since the scrapbooking season ended in June.  In case you were wondering, my parents are recovering nicely and have settled into a routine and getting better and better every day.  They are mostly recovered with the exception of getting tired more easily these days.  I think it will take a full year for them to truly recover.

Regarding my day job, my boss left on 7/15 and I now have his job, so the past 2 months have been spent trying to learn his job and working LOTS of hours!  So.....I can't tell you how excited I am to bring you this fun class!

This is a 2 page layout for the fall, which includes a technique of using gelatos!  Cost is $15 per person.  I'll be teaching it most of this fall; not exactly sure which crops yet, but it might be all of them per my schedule to the right of this post.

I'm also working on a new technique class, bringing in some items from the art journaling and mixed media world, but I don't want to say too much just yet, since I don't have anything to show yet, lol!  I will be posting soon about it as I'm really excited to get moving on it!

Below are the pictures of the 2 page layout class - hope to see you soon!

New Spring Classes - Tim Holtz, Ken Oliver, Dina Wakley

Hi everyone!  I've finally had a chance to create a couple of new classes after a few weeks of attending to my parents following their car accident on 2/20.  Dad had 4 broken ribs and Mom had 11, including a cracked sternum and partially collapsed left lung and bunch of bruising.  Both are doing a lot better and at home recuperating.

First up is my new 2 page layout using sKen Oliver's Color Burst product - VERY exciting to use on a page layout!  I'll be doing a demo of the product outside of the class then showing how it can be used in other ways during the class.  We also use Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains on this project too!  Cost is $15 per person.

Next up is my Art Journaling 101 class, which I'm REALLY excited about!  We use mostly Dina Wakley's products in addition to some other Ranger items.  The cost of this class is $20 per person.  You can follow along and create it exactly as it is, or modify it to suit your taste.

Hope to see you in one or both of these classes!
