September 2010 Classes

Hope you are as excited about this group of classes as we are. There are more great projects this month and a couple of great tag and card classes. Without further ado...... ta da! The schedule.....

HALLOWEEN TAGS
September 9 & 10

"Creepy" Artsy Tags with a Halloween theme..... Just the inspiration you need for the Halloween Tag Swap. Lots of fun stamps and techniques will be used.....

SECRET GARDEN CANVAS

Sunday, September 12

There was a huge waiting list, so here it is again.... Sign up early if you were one of those who missed out on the last class...... It will fill fast.

BUTTERFLY BOX

September 14 & 17

This box is absolutely over the top! It looks like a specimen box but the good news is that no butterflies were harmed in the making. YeeHaw. Those of you who know me, know that raisin' and releasin' are my way of enjoying butters.....

DEMO DAY

Saturday, September 18th

This is a long time tradition for us. It's FREE, It's FUN (really it's like a good party), and we have a FREE Make-It-Take-It! Lisa's new class schedule always makes its debut and you can sign up for all the classes for October while you're here.

MINI CANVAS CREATIONS

September 21st

Our July Demo Make-It-Take-It was a sweet 2x4 mini canvas made using Sticky Back Canvas. This class was requested so here it is. You will make 4 fab mini canvases that can be used as an ornament and is the perfect size to tuck into a greeting card.

HALLOWEEN CARDS

September 23 & 24

In this class you will make 5 (not 4) great Halloween cards. You will be using several new products and this is a class you won't want to miss.....

METAL KEEPSAKE BOX (repeat)

Sunday, September 26

This is a requested repeat class. It truly is a wonderful class and the perfect one if you would like to start creating metal art. You will need to purchase a Basic Tool Kit, paper stump, and mat set if you do not already have them. Please let us know when you sign up if you will need these supplies.

METAL SAMPLER

September 28th

This is the class for you if you would like to learn more about how to work metal to create works of art. You will create a sampler that will be mounted on a canvas. You will learn a variety of techniques including how to "freehand" designs in your metal.

ARTSY CARD CLASS

September 30 & October 1

One of our favorite customers (you're one too!) showed us a card she had done a Cover A Card stamps. It's a very clever technique she developed by accident and it's very cool. You'll take your card making to a new level when you learn how easy it is to do.....

And that is the schedule for September!

Until next post....... Happy Stampin'!

Canvas Tote Class

PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD

Everyone who took the Canvas Tote Class created something entirely different. Everyone decided Lisa had done such a good job teaching that they could do it without her (Sorry, Lisa..... but it IS a compliment!). They were entirely jazzed to do it at home. Everyone wanted to see how everyone else's turned out. Someone suggested an exhibit. Someone thought it would be fun to find out which one was the favorite. And so........


Canvas Totes are on Display! You get to vote for the People's Choice Award and the winner gets a gift certificate from Lisa for a class.

You can vote one of two ways...... either in store where you can see the totes up close and personal OR you can vote here on the blog. You have until Saturday to cast your vote. If you want to vote here, just leave your choice in the comment section. Please vote only once.


OK...... let the voting begin (oh, I forgot, voting started Demo Day)....... (drum roll.......)


BTW...... Participant #9.... I owe you an apology. The photo is terrible. Your tote is way cooler than the photo makes it look..... time allowing, I'll reshoot Tuesday and post a picture that is IN focus.....
