January 2026
Classes
 
  
Christmas will be here in a couple of days and the store will close at 2 pm on Wednesday for Christmas and remain closed through January 1st.  But fear not!  We'll be back on the 2nd with a big 2 day sale!
 
I'm really excited to share our January class schedule with you.  It was well received on Saturday during Preview Day.   I failed to nab a photo of the FREE Make 'n Take, but it was definately a hit!
 
Here's the schedule for January.
 
Winter Blues - $35
Thursday, January 8
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

  Start the New Year off with some lovely winter blue cards.  Not the "blues", but the beautiful blue feel of snowy winter days.  Perfect for any occasion, you'll use markers, watercolor, ink pads and shimmer sprays to create the feel of quiet winter days.  Penny Black stamps are just perfect for these serene cards.
 
2026 Calendar Book/Journal - $40
Thursday, January 15
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

Graphic 45's "Journaling Through the Year" paper collection is perfect for this book that can be used as a journal scheduling calendar or perpetual calendar book.  Since it is bound by the "disc" system, you can add pages without taking the book apart.  The store now has a Cinch Multi Punch so you can punch additional papers at a later date.  This makes a great gift too!
 
Preview Day - FREE
Saturday, January 17
10 am to 4 pm
Come and Go
 
You're invited
to
Preview the February classes
and
Enjoy a FREE Make 'n Take
 
Valentine/Friendship Cards - $35
Thursday, January 22
10:30 am OR 6 PM
 

More Penny Black stamps!  They make such beautiful Valentine or friendship cards.  This is a "sharpen" your watercolor skills class so come prepared to spend a little extra time.  They go together easily and look so professional.  You'll be using watercolor by Altenew, inks and Tombow markers.  You'll love giving these cards to your favorite friends!
 
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, January 24
9 am OR 1:30 pm
 
 
Get ready for some fun!  I'm teaching this time and I used a list of prompts to get started.  I have had such fun working on this one.  There is an interactive piece, a hidden pocket, and tag/envelope pieces.  You do not have to use a hand, but it is fun. I will show you an option if you don't want to do the flipping piece.  Although I am not quite finished with everything I want to add, you can stop where I did to display it for Preview Day or go as far as I will when I finish it over the holidays.  The afternoon class is full, but there are still seats left in the morning class.
 
Master Page - $35
Thursday, January 29
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

It's back by request! We all love creating master pages and they are so handy when you want to create a unique card background.  They work well for mixed media projects too!  Lisa will have a follow up project for February that you can use your master page to create.  If you don't want to use yours, she will be happy to provide a copy of hers for an additional $5 upcharge.

December 2025
Class Schedule
 
We had a great Preview Day.  The "Live @ 7:45" Preview of Preview Day went off without a hitch.  The tables were laden with fabulous Christmas finds and the Make 'n Take was fun and easy! 


This gift card holder is easy to make using an envelope and scrapbook paper! The envelope gives it stability and you only have to score the side folds. There's a little work scoring all the folds of the scrapbook paper used, but all in all, it's fun to make and not at all hard.

Lisa's December schedule is short and sweet.  The Christmas season is quite busy this year so I know she and I both need some time off.  We'll be taking at least a week off after Christmas, but we'll be back with an energy boost that only time off can give!

Here's the December schedule.....

Thursday, December 4
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
 
Oh Joy!  I love this piece, don't you?  It's a 6x12 cradled board and would be great displayed on an easel or hung on a wall.  And I think it would be lovely all year 'round to remind us of the JOY Christmas brought to the world when Jesus came to live among us and complete the task of salvation for all!  Paper from the Simple Stories "Believe" collection creates a fun background and is completed by the addition of stamped trees and die cut deer on top of the die cut word "Joy".  The snow covered twig makes a perfect anchor.  This one is just as much fun to make as it is beautiful!
 
Thursday, December 11
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

Our friend Adona suggested this to Lisa so many years ago that we can't even remember when.  Of course it became a tradition because who doesn't need last minute gift tags for all the last minute wrapping!?  This year Lisa has found so many images to use that it was hard to decide which ones would make the cut!  Anyway, I think you'll have lots of fun making these and probably decide to make more when you get home!
 
Preview Day - FREE
Saturday, December 20
FREE Make 'n Take
10 am to 4 pm
Come and Go
 
Join us for the reveal of the January class schedule and enjoy a FREE Make 'n Take.  We'll either have a lot of new things to shop or an end of the year sale.  It's the Christmas season, so I'm pretty sure there will be snacks and gifts with purchase.  Lisa and I are looking forward to seeing you!
 
That's it for the class schedule! 
 
Gift Certificate Special!
The annual Gift Certificate special starts with Black Friday (Nov 28th).  For every $25 spent for gift certificates, you will receive a $5 bonus gift certificate at no charge!  This is a great time to buy a $5 (or more!) certificate for each of your crafting friends and get something for yourself for free!  Be sure you let any family members know about the special as that bonus can be added to any certificate they buy you!

November 2025
Class Schedule
 
We had such a sweet day on Saturday.  It was, of course, the October Preview Day with a FREE Make 'n Take.  I take full blame for the fact that it went waaaaay slower than expected.  You just can't plan for the chaos that ocurred that day!  Still, we had fun and the Make was a hit.  
 
 
  

Background was made using the smoosh, spritz and drag technique with the new Tim Holtz mini Oxide ink pads.  Leaves are Tim Holtz stamps and the sentiment is from Catherine Pooler.
 
Lisa's November class schedule is short and sweet.  There are only 3 weeks for classes this month due to the Thanksgiving week holidays.  She has created a stellar selection of card classes and I am sure you'll want to take all three!
 
Exploring Oxide Cubes - $35
Thursday, November 6
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

The Make 'n Take was just a preview of what you can do with the Oxide cubes!  Come learn a variety of ways those cubes can be used to make the exciting cards in this class. The cubes come packed in color palettes that make it even easier! You'll want to make more of them when you experience how quick and easy these cards can come together! 
 
Quick & Easy Christmas - $35
Thursday, November 13
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

The Spellbinders collection of BetterPress LetterPress plates is growing by leaps and bounds.  You'll have fun learning how to use them to create the professional look of the letter press system of printing.  The cardstocks used in this class are absolutely gorgeous and you'll be excited to send these cards to special family or friends.

Preview Day - FREE

Most of you know how much fun Preview Day is. We load our classroom tables with new product and share a FREE Make 'n Take with you.  I get on Facebook and do a "Live @ 7:45 am" preview of the Preview Day tables and tell you of any specials.  This month was filled with unusual video catastrophies, but all in all, we got it done!  Feel free to bring a friend or two with you to share in all the fun!
 
Christmas Variety - $35
Thursday, November 20
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

Check out this group of cards!  Penny Black and PinkFresh stamps and dies along with beautiful papers go together in a dynamic way.  The plaid papers are so beautiful and that gold shimmer paper is a crowd favorite. These cards are so elegant and, once again, you'll be happy to send any of these cards to friends or family.
 
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, November 22
9 am OR 1:30 pm
 
 
Lisa had one more art journal spread started.  We said last month would be the last one for the year, but she's just couldn't wait.  It wasn't finished so she will get that ready and we'll post the pic later.  Trust me!  Her art journal pages have a special quality about them you just have to create with her!

Closed
Friday. Nov 28 - Black Friday event
