August Classes

August 2014

Class Schedule

Ah! Demo Day!  It brings such fun and laughter.  This past Saturday was no different.  We laughed and enjoyed helping friends to create this stunning Halloween card for our Make-It-Take-It.  One of our best.... don't you think?

The class schedule for August is brimming with wonderful classes.  Lisa created a wonderful assortment of card classes and projects and Kelley Walker will repeat her "Gelli Print - Long Stitch" class by popular demand.  So without further ado....  here are the descriptions!

Botanical Tea Tag Book

July 31st OR August 1st

Gelli Print Cards - Repeat

August 14 OR 15th

$30

Gelli Printing is all the rage right now!  It's so versatile and once you get started, it's so hard to stop.  Guaranteed fun and no two prints are alike!  Lisa taught this class in June and has been asked several times when she is going to do it again.... and it's now!  You will need a gelli plate.  Don't have one and not sure which size to get?  Fear not, Lisa will help you decide which size is best for you.  Then you can start having more fun than you ever imagined.

DEMO DAY

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16

10:30 AM TO 4 PM

Come and Go

Our Demo Day is a regular event on the 3rd Saturday of the month.  It's a place to meet your friends and even make some new ones!  We always have a quick Make-It-Take-It for you and Lisa's class schedule is on display for the next month.  If you haven't been, make a point to join us this month.  You'll be glad you did!

Die-Cut Extravaganza

August 21st OR 22nd

$35

Die cut cards are quite popular and this class will have you creating amazingly beautiful cards using layers of die-cut designs.  You will also make the beautiful box which will hold your cards in style from 2 pieces of 12x12 paper.  Your box will be adorned with a beautiful flower you will create using Tim Holtz's Jumbo Tattered Floral Die, glitter and more.  A wonderful gift... Lots of fun to make!

Gelli-Print Long-Stitch

by Kelley Walker

Saturday, August 23

$55

This two part class is an all day extravaganza.  Kelley taught this class a couple of weeks ago and it has gotten quite a lot of attention.  You'll print in the morning (no experience required) and after a quick lunch break return to learn a wonderful "long-stitch" style of book binding.  You can see what the students created in the last class on Kelley's blog "One January Day".  Class includes the use of a Gelli Plate if you don't have one, all paper and book making supplies as well as the use of Dina Wakley's new paints.  

Distress Style Organizer

August 28 OR 29

$30

Kaisercraft has a great collection of organizers for your studio.  Lisa has chosen this desk organizer to assemble and decorate with papers from Tim Holtz's Wallflower Paper Collection.  You will absolutely love this piece.  You will need to purchase the organizer from the store.

We've got a full schedule for August.  I think it's safe to say that there is something for everyone and you'll enjoy every minute of any class you choose to take.  You can make reservations  by emailing Lisa (lbruno7754@aol.com), calling the store (509-6788) or if you want to see the samples in person, come on by.  We can sign you up on the spot!  Remember payment of class fees is required to hold your seat in class.  Some classes have more limited numbers due to space needed to create so be sure you enroll early!

For additional information, please call the store (509-6788) or email Lisa (lbruno7754@aol.com).

That's it for now.....  Until next post, Happy Creatin'!

February 2013 Classes

Class Schedule

As most of you know by now, Lisa Bruno has been teaching classes at My Heart's Fancy for a very long time now.  We can remember a time when we could only seat 6 people in a teeny tiny storage space.  Things have certainly changed, but the friendships that were made in those classes remain strong.  And what's even better?  More friends are added every year and we treasure each one of them!

Well, enough of the trip down Memory Lane!  On to Lisa's schedule of classes (and when I mentioned on Facebook that I was wiping the drool off my chin, it wasn't a joke!).

What's Happening.....

What's the Buzz?

 

Did I get your attention?  Hope so.....  We've got a lot going on this month and I hope you will be joining us for as much of it as you can.....

 

Just a reminder about the Jen Starr classes on September 25th.  You will seriously enjoy Jen.  She has been trained by the great Sir Tim Holtz.  You won't need a thing for these classes (well, maybe one or two things).  She packs everything and these classes are gonna be swell!  Class information can be found on the Jen Starr Classes post.

 

 

Kelley Walker is teaching her first class in the House and I for one am really excited.  Her class, "Sweet and Easy Stamp Making", is scheduled for Saturday, Sept 22nd. If you have ever wanted to learn how to carve your own stamps, this is the class for you.  You will make 2 stamps and a project.   There are only a few openings left, so call to reserve your spot now. 

EEK!  ALTERED BOOK

This class is next week and filled up so fast Lisa added another class to the schedule.....  Interested?  It's scheduled for next Tuesday (the 11th) at 6pm.  Call the store now if you want to take this one.  It is already half full!

That's it for now....  Until next post..... Happy Creatin'!
