Josie's work

Here are some new creations by Josie, one of our designers.  

What an adorable anniversary card. The tickets are not glued in so that they can actually be redeemed.

Staff gift exchange

Here are pictures of the items that were made as part of our gift exchange at our staff Christmas Party. The challenge was simple, bring something homemade and it could not cost you more than $5.00 in new supplies.

Joan made this adorable set. The item to the left is for a gift exchange. Simply write everyones names in the presents and take turns picking your name for next year!

Nancy made this beautiful decoration, that I was lucky enough to keep.

Nicole paints and she made this gorgeous piece of art. Her work has been featured at our local Art Gallery, Brushstrokes.

Patti made this cute container filled with homemade peanut brittle. (mmm - my favorite!)

This is what I made. A cute and simple candle using old sheet music and a few items from our singles section at the store.

SCRAPBOOKING 101 - This Saturday

Saturday, October 16

10:30 am
Instructor: Julia
Cost: $20


Have you ever looked at your box of photos and wondered just what to do with it all? Well, scrapbook it is the answer!

Wondering exactly what "Scrapbooking" is?

Well basically, a scrapbook is just a glorified photo album. The difference is that it preserves more than just the photos. A scrapbook includes journaling (telling the story behind the photos) as well as memorabilia (tickets, certificates, letters, you get the idea).

With all the products, papers, adhesives, cutting tools, albums and embellishments on the market, it's natural to feel overwhelmed by it all and give up before even getting started.

In this class, Julia will teach you how to choose and use the tools you need to get started, understand common scrapbooking terms, familiarize you with standard scrapbooking techniques and teach you how to use them while you assemble your first layout.

Bring several 4x6 photos to choose from - both vertical and horizontal - 2 or 3 of the same event or theme.

Basic tool kit is not required for this beginner class - we will provide everything you need except for adhesive. Please bring some with you or you may purchase some before the class begins.

October Kit

The base of this month's kit is "Mitten Weather" by Cosmo Cricket.

It includes 7 papers and a 12X12 sheet of chipboard stickers.

We have added in some glitter thickers, various ribbons, brads and cardstock.

This month's kit is $25.00. ($30 value)

Here are some samples made by our designers Brenna and Josie using this month's kit:

October Challenge

This month's challenge is to create...
a layout using this sketch (from http://www.pagemaps.com/) for your inspiration.



Let us display your work in the store until next month's challenge and you could be chosen in our random draw to win free product!
Please drop off your layout by the 20th of the month.
