Altered Class line up!

Nancy has put together some amazing Altered Projects. The first class will be this weekend (RECYCLED MAGAZINE PURSE) and there is still room for you to take the class.

Have you seen Nancy's wonderful Altered Art Projects? They are indeed wonderful!

Today's class is definitely altered....altering magazines that is! Not only will you make this "need to talk about" purse, you will also be helping the environment by recycling. And YES, this purse is definitetly useable. Nancy has been using another Magazine purse that she made for several months now. I believe that she will be bringing it to class to show you the durability of it.

Please bring your Basic Kit to class and everything else will be provided.

Call us or e-mail us at scrappersanonymous@shaw.ca to register for any of the above classes. With your support in taking classes, we will continue to design more classes!

Stamp-A-Stack

This month's upcoming Stamp-A-Stack is on Sunday Jan 30th from 12:30-3:30pm.

Pictured are 3 of the 8 cards that will be available for you to make. I have included a few of the new stamp sets from There She Goes clear stamps as well as stamps from Pink Cat Studio, a chipboard dragonfly card and others!

A Stamp-A-Stack class is a relaxed class where you pace yourself. Each card and all of the supplies to create it are contained within a bin.

The fees for this class are: Members: $18.00, Non-Members: $20.00. These fees will cover 6 cards. You may choose to create additional cards for $2 each. There will be at least 8 different cards for you to choose from.

As this class is self-paced you only need basic card-making experience. I will be there to guide you along, but minimal instruction is needed. This makes this a great class for beginners but also a nice class for those with experience making cards, as everything is prepped and you just get to sit and enjoy creating!

You can work on your cards on your own but sometimes a group or a few people like to work together. You choose what works best for you. As everything is contained in a bin for a specific card, when you are done making a card, just return the bin with all of the supplies to the main table and pick up another bin, and so on. You can make as few as 6 cards or choose to make extras during the 3 hour period.

Registration is on a first-come first-serve basis. So please register as early as possible. Registration cut off will be Thursday January 27th (or when class is full-10 SPACES Available) in order to allow for preparation. A lot of time is needed for staff to prepare the materials for this class. So registering ASAP is preferable. Many thanks!

Note: Cards may be designed using a variety of mediums: stamps, die cuts, paints, etc. They are not necessarily all "stamped" cards. Variety is the spice of life!

I hope that you will join me for a relaxed afternoon of cardmaking!

Teresa's Embossing Paste class!

What a great group for Teresa's Embossing Paste class featuring the Dreamweaver Bare Tree Stencil! This is a picture from her 1st class. Her 2nd class is scheduled for November 16th from 6-8:30pm.

Teresa is a VERY talented person and we are VERY lucky to have her. If you have taken any of her classes, you will know what I am talking about. It is the little details that Teresa adds to her cards and projects that give her work a special touch.

Did you know that Teresa is an incredible artist, and by artist I mean painter! You should see her watercolour paintings! We're not talking colour by number. She has a true gift. We are hoping to highlight more about Teresa in the weeks ahead. But we want you to know that you don't need to go far to learn incredible techniques, or how to create that extra special card or project. The talented designers that we have are amazing. We also have some NEW designers joining us and we can't wait to tell you more! We just feel that you need to know more about them. Look for special designer highlights and profiles in the weeks ahead!

There are a series of classes (4 layouts/2 cards) which start this week. Spaces are still available and the layouts/cards are fabulous. Pictured here are the layouts/cards for the Dinosaurs class.
