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!

All day .....  We are having a guest artist. 

 

JEN  STARR

 

I've been looking for an opportunity to bring in a guest artist this fall and Jen just happened to fall into our lap.  A class cancellation on her fall tour enabled us to snag her.

 

 

Jen is a fully Certified and Ranger Recognized Instructor.  She works with well known manufacturers including 7 Gypsies, Stampers Anonymous, Faber Castell, Basic Grey and Prima.  She recently designed Tattered Angels 2012 Spring and Summer Limited Edition Glimmer Mists. 

 

Jen has created some wonderful mixed media classes and we will be offering the following.

 

 

 

Life is Beautiful Gate Book

Fee: $45

 

 

 

 

This is an 8x9 chipboard gate book with flipping and folding interactive pages inside.  You will work with die cuts from both Tim Holtz and Memory Box.  You will also use Distress Inks, Gesso and Crafter's Workship Templates by Dyan Reaveley.  AND you will get to use some of Jen's favorite Glimmer Mist colors from the Spring/Summer Limited Edition collection.  The focus of this class is inky techniques and book construction. 

 

 

Steampunk Montage

Fee $45

 

 

 

The inspiration for this double 8x10 canvas wall hanging comes from Tim Holtz.  It is full of texture, inks, stamps, Idea-ology, Sizzix dies, UTEE and more.  

 

 

Imagine the Possibilities Mini-Book 

Fee: $45

 

 

 

This little book is packed with techniques!  You will focus on an easy stitched book binding technique.  You will work with Distress Stains.  You will use Idealogy embellishments, Sticky Back canvas, Tim Holtz stamps and texture fades, fabrics and Stickles.  When done, it will be ready to be filled with photos or maybe some art journaling....

I can't think of a better way to spend a day than creating any or all of these fabulous projects.  Join us for one or all! Class size is limited to 12 and payment for class(es) is due by September 21 (checks and cash only, please).  To register call the store (405-509-6788) or email me (maura@myheartsfancyok.com).
