August 2023
Class Schedule
As usual, Preview Day was a blast! Lisa was unable to join us so our friend Cherri manned the Make 'n Take desk. It was only fitting as she designed the Make 'n Take card everyone enjoyed making. Take a look!
It's a great card for any summer occasion. Stamps by Hero Arts - Fiesta Blue Ink by Catherine Pooler - Jewels by Buttons Galore.
Lisa's August class schedule is outstanding. I especially love the cards she created using the Art by Marlene "Crazy Bird" stamps. There is a tabbed book that is designed to contain your ephemera bits and pieces and could even hold trip memorabilia instead if you wanted. The first card class uses acrylic blocks to create unique but quick background shapes for cards (could use it for mixed media art too). The return of Master Page on a new paper surface will make master pages useful for a whole new variety of projects. She still has space for one more class, but that one will debut a little later in the month. I am teaching Art Journal Saturday next month and we are going to create a version of a spread I did over a year ago that I really enjoyed making.
On to the schedule!.....
Acrylic Block Fun - $35
Thursday, Aug 3
10:30 am OR 6 pm
It's been quite some time since Lisa first taught the acrylic block technique for backgrounds. There are so many more products she wanted to show you how to use with this technique. Distress Ink has been the preferred method (and you'll do one with them), but she has added acrylic paints, TCW Color Sparks and more. This process makes it easy to create a large number of backgrounds (or collage background). You'll love this technique
Ephemera Tab Binding Book - $35
Thursday, Aug 10
10:30 am OR 6 pm
Create this fun book to hold your scrapbook/art ephemera. There are pockets to hold paper dolls, tiny drawings, postage stamps, scraps or anything else you might use on your scrapbook page or cards that use collage elements. The binding is unique and you'll love how easy it goes together. Can't wait to make this one myself!
Crazy Fun Birds - $35
Thursday, Aug 17
10:30 am OR 6 pm
We discovered this "Art by Marlene" Crazy Birds stamp set thanks to our friend, Becky Bright. She loves birds, saw this set and asked if we could order it for her. I ordered 3. One for her and 2 for the shelf. I sold the other 2 immediately. These cards are bright and cheeful and use a number of embossing folders, and die cut openings. I can't imagine anyone not liking these cards.....
Preview Day - FREE
Saturday, August 19
10 am TO 4 pm

Master Page Fun - $35
Thursday, August 24
10:30 am OR 6 pm
Master pages never get old. This time Lisa uses a new surface that is more flexible. You can cut it up for collage or card backgrounds or photocopy it and use it over and over again. Lisa provides everything you need for this class.
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, August 26
10:30 am OR 6 pm
It's been a little crazy and time ran out for me this month. I found this tiny journal spread I did a bit more than a year ago. I loved it so much I wanted to revisit the techniques. I am going to create a larger sample so you'll be able to see how to make it in a larger journal. We'll use alcohol ink in a unique way. You can use a personal photo or I will have the Tim Holtz Snapshots ephemera photos available for your use if you don't have a photo you want to use.
