August 2024
Class Schedule
Preview Day was a blast. Have I said that before? I bet I have. It was raining when we opened, but that didn't stop anyone from coming. We had a crowd from the beginning. Lisa was unable to be with us and Adona was also off. Tammy stepped in for Adona, my friend Sharon stepped in for Lisa in the morning and our friend Cherri stepped in for Lisa in the afternoon. While none of them are Lisa or Adona, all went well and I hope they will be happy to sub in again. We missed Lisa, but I must say those girls all stepped up to the plate with style and I was glad to have them!
I forgot to get a picture of the Make 'n Take but I will post one on Facebook. We used a cute watermelon stamp and die from Atenew that coordinated well with a 12x12 watermelon paper from Echo Park.
Lisa's class schedule for August is very nice. We had hoped our fall paper from Echo Park would arrive in time to create an Autumn class, but that's OK because the classes we do have are outstanding. Several of the classes are getting full, so don't wait if you want to take them.
Here's the schedule.....
Cups & Blooms - $35
Thursday, August 1
10:30 am OR 6 pm
Penny Black recently released a new batch of stamps and dies. Lisa has used the teacups and several of the floral stamps to create these cards. You get to practice your watercolor techniques in this class and you'll love the results. The teacups have a vintage style but the vivid colors used give it a wonderful non-vintage feel. These cards are perfect for any occasion.
"My Friends and I" - $35
Thursday, August 8
10:30 OR 6 pm
Megan Quinlan had a popup shop recently with ArtFoamies. We have a special arrangement to be able to purchase these foamies for the store to sell. We love Megan's art journals and the foamies are created from fun images in her art journals. These cards remained unfinished at the time this schedule was published because we discovered too late that the papers Lisa chose are no longer available. Soooooo..... we ordered other papers which are on the way. We expect them to be here and the cards completed by August 1st. I'll replace this picture as soon as that happens but you might want to enroll as soon as possible because this class is already filling fast!
Moonlit Garden Envelope Folio
Thursday, August 15
10:30 am OR 6 pm
49 and Market has a beautiful collection called Moonlit Garden. It has a lovely vintage feel that uses beautiful images of birds, butterflies and flowers. This sweet folio is made using envelopes and has a variety of uses. There is a fold in flap on both the front and back cover that would be perfect for a large photo. The back side of the flap has a pocket. The pages under the flaps have a fun pocket made from heavy acetate that would be sweet with a photo and keepsakes tucked inside. This little folio could be the perfect traveling brag book!

Saturday, August 17
10 am to 4 pm

Hedgehog Wild - $35
Thursday, August 22
10:30 am OR 6 pm
Penny Black is known for their hedgehog images and they just released the cutest stamp set of hedgies for birthday and all occasion. Who doesn't love a hedgehog? Lisa has combined these images with bright colors and you'll have cards that will work for all ages! She's also used a variety of new dies and embossing folders from Penny Black. You'll love making these cards for everyone on your card list!
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, August 24
9 am OR 1:30 pm
Yep! WIP (work in progress). It's Maura's turn to teach and it is sooo close to being finished. The sample should be ready for the public by Saturday, July 27 which is July's Art Journal Saturday and I'll update the photo as soon as possible. However, what you see in this picture are the elements being used. We'll make watercolor stamped tissues for several parts of this spread, magazine images, window envelopes (start saving some!) and stenciling. It's going to be fun!
That's the schedule for now.... Lisa says there is a Fall and a Technique Tag Class coming soon so get ready for that in early September. Here are a few more things you need to know about classes.
