February's Schedule

Is the weather getting you down?  Tired of the ice and the cold?  Check out our schedule of classes for February and sign up now.
_________________________________________________________________________________

• Stencil class - 2/5  -  Make 2 beautiful cards and a tag using different stencil techniques.  You'll use the Lovebirds stencil from Dreamweaver, which you'll get to take home.

• Time to Celebrate- 2/12 - You know how Sharon takes one or two sheets of paper and makes a bunch of cards? Well, she's done it again. Using only a couple of sheets of Graphic 45 paper, you'll make several beautiful cards and have ideas for lots more.

• Spring Cards - 2/19 - We'll be using newly released stamps from Great Impressions to make three cute cards with spring chicks and bunnies. I'll post photos as soon as we decide which of these cards we can't live without.

• Coloring with Copics - 2/24 -  For those of you who've already taken the Copic Beginner Class, here's your chance to hone your skills. Bring your own Copics and you'll learn some new techniques that will help you color like a pro.

• Iris Folding - 2/26 - Iris folding originated in Holland where early crafters folded strips of paper from the insides of envelopes and arranged them to make striking designs. We now use scrapbook and origami papers (and sometimes ribbon) to create the same effect. We will have fun making 3 cards using this age-old technique. Pictures will be posted when available.

• Time to Flourish - Jane Jones is teaching another of her fabulous books and you don't want to miss this one.  She is using Graphic 45's "Time to Flourish" line of papers to make a book that is sure to be a treasured keepsake. For those who have taken Jane's classes in the past, you know that these books take a lot of time and effort, but they are SO worth it. Jane is home chained up in the basement finishing the book as I'm writing this, but I do have secret photos of the first two pages.  The classes run either three Saturday mornings, three Saturday afternoons, or two whole Wednesdays.  Call the store for details.
