Schedule for April

"Seriously?  What did I do?"

Thanks to everyone who brought in items to sell and to all of you who came to shop for great bargains, we had a VERY successful tag sale. Many of you very generously gave your leftover items to be donated to charity.  We have several organizations that are thrilled to receive these donations, but due to the large number of you who were so generous, we could use a couple more.  So, if you know an art program, a card ministry, or some other organization that is in need of supplies, please let us know.

Below is the schedule for April. Hopefully you'll find some classes to interest you.  Just call the store to register (860-658-9023). Remember that if you pay for a class in advance, you receive a 10% discount on any purchases the day of the class.  You may pay over the phone by credit card, mail a check, or drop in the store to pay.

April 7 - Watercolor Stencils Magenta Style:  Try a new stencil technique that involves applying color with dye inks and then using a wet stencil to integrate a pattern into your design.  It's easy to do and gives you a lovely background! The photo below shows a preview of what can be done with the stencils.  We will make them into cards.

April 13 - Graphic 45: There are still just a couple of available seats for this fantastic opportunity to work directly with the staff of this very popular company. If you are interested, call ASAP.


April 21 - Precious Memories Cards: Join Sharon as she once again makes a number of beautiful cards from just a couple of sheets of paper.  She will be using one of Graphic 45's newest lines, and the cards will be lovely as always. Below is just one of the cards you'll be making. It's a throwback to a style we used a few years ago but with a new twist.

April 23- Stencil Class: This month we're using a lovely Lily-of-the-Valley stencil with three different techniques. The photos below show the two cards and the tag we'll be making.

April 25 - Advanced Copic Markers: If you've already taken a beginner Copic class and would like to learn more, this is the class for you.  Bring your own markers and practice some new techniques as you color a variety of designs.

April 28 - Bendie Cards: Try a new variety of card. The "bendie" shape gives the illusion of depth and allows you to incorporate a number of different papers, stamps, and die cuts into your design.  We will be using the Graphic 45 "Home Sweet Home" papers.
