April 2026
Class Schedule
 
Our March Preview Day was a smashing good time!  I am beginning to enjoy and settle into the routine of getting the "Facebook Live at 7:45 am" done and it's beginning to actually be a lot of fun. Lisa and I ran through a quick finishing design of the Make 'n Take.  This one was really fun and although there were a lot of variations, this is the sample we had on display!
 
 
 

Lisa's classes for April are just amazing!  I am so excited about them and if you weren't able to come by Saturday, I hope you'll get by to see them in person and enroll.  Although several time slots are already sold out, read on to see what she's got for you next month! 
 
***** Heads Up!****  
The store will be closed Friday, April 1 & Saturday, April 2
There will be no Cash Friyay
 
 
 And now **drumroll please** - here is the class schedule for April!
 
*** If a time slot is sold out, please join the wait list (call or join online at the top right of the registration page).  We may be able to add a Friday morning class or a spot may become available. *** 
 
House Mouse Joy - $35
Thursday, April 2

SOLD OUT 
 
 
 
Who doesn't love the House Mouse collections?  I know, not everyone loves mice.  However, you have to admit that the House Mouse art is pretty darn cute! We haven't used colored pencils in a long time, but Lisa has knocked it out of the ball park this time with a clever use of pencils on vellum that you will really love. If there is enough interest, Lisa may be able to add this class to another date this month or offer it again next month.  Please call the store to opt in for an additional class.
 
 
Mixed Media Notecards - $35
Thursday, April 9
6 pm only
morning sold out 
 
 
 
You'll enjoy using Oxide Sprays on watercolor paper to create a large sheet of background paper that will be cut up to create 6 cheerful notecards.  Catherine Pooler released a new set of literary quotes and images a few months ago that are perfect for this technique.  You'll have enough paper left over to make at least 6 more notecards.  As Lisa said at Preview Day this class is "Fun Fun Fun"!  Click here to enroll online.
 
Lavender Fields Envelope Book - $35
Thursday, April 16
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
  
 
This lovely "book" is made out of a 6x9 manila envelope.  There is a pocket on the front, a flap inside with a pocket and much more.  Use it as a small memory book or turn it into a card with special notes and gift cards tucked into one or all of the pockets.  I promise it's easier than it looks and will make an amazing gift.  Once you know how, you'll be excited to make more!  Click here to enroll online.
 
Preview Day - FREE
Saturday, April 18

Floral Watercolors - $35

New dies from PinkFresh and new stamps from Penny Black make for an exciting group of spring floral cards.  Add the Penny Black liquid watercolors and you have a match made in heaven!  Come learn how easy it is to use liquid watercolors.   So easy you'll be creating more in no time.  **This class is not yet published on the website so please call or stop by to enroll in this class.**
 
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, April 24
9 am OR 1:30 pm
 
 
I know, where's the sample, right?  It's been a crazy month, but I'll have it done before you know it.  If you haven't been to one of our Art Journal Saturday classes, you're in for a treat.  We're known for having lots of creative fun and many of our art journaling friends sign up before they've even seen the sample. You bring your art journal, a basic art kit and we provide everything else but the kitchen sink! Click here to enroll online.
 
Shades of Purple - $35
Thursday, April 30
6 pm
morning sold out 
 

What a great set of cards!  We have discovered one of Simple Stories newest paper collections called "Lavender Fields" and we are in love with it.  Lisa has used it in this class and the results are stunning. She has also used a new flower stencil by Altenew and you actually get 2 cards from 1 stenciled piece.  Dare I say "BONUS"?  I think you'll agree that you hit the jackpot with this class!  Click here to enroll in this class online.

CLASS SCHEDULE 

 MARCH 2026

We had such a great time Saturday!  Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy our FREE Make 'n Take as well as preview all the March classes and new products.  Lisa, Cherri and I always enjoy seeing all of you.  You make it the special event it is!
 
Well, I neglected to get a pic of the Make 'n Take before I wrote this post.  But, it was fun to make and it was well received.   Lisa's new March class schedule is so popular that several classes are already almost sold out so if you want in, decide quickly.  You can enroll online at myheartsfancy.com or come by the shop to enroll.  No more waiting..... here's the schedule!
 
Spring & Easter Greetings - $35
Thursday, March 5
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
  
 
These cards reflect the beauty of spring.  You'll learn a new technique using vellum and alcohol inks for one card. The egg card is made using a new die from Simon Hurley by Spellbinders.  So many ways to use it and Lisa will teach you how to make a folding card with it.  Morning class is sold out!  Click on the click here to enroll to enroll in the 6 pm class.
 
Fancy Dancy Cards - $35
Thursday, March 12
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
  
 
These cards are so delicate and elegant.  You'll learn how to use the waste from one card to create a second card! You'll create two cards using two different "dangling" techniques. And of course, Lisa has used some fancy folds too!  Don't wait to enroll in this class because, again, the seating is very limited. Click here to enroll.
 
Gel Print Fun - $35
Thursday, March 19
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
  
 
Gel printing is so much fun.  It's been a while, but you can sharpen your skills with the gel plate as you create your own unique collage papers.  Gel printed papers make great pages in a junk journal and covers for journals as well.  Our friend Sharon has made the most amazing cards using them as the base layer for many cards.  If you scrapbook the prints are perfect for layering under photos or as die cut accents.  Click here to enroll.
 
Preview Day - FREE
10 am to 4 pm
FREE Make 'n Take
Come and Go
 
Come preview the new April classes and enjoy a FREE Make 'n Take.  Enjoy special discounts, browse the latest products to hit the shelves and visit with friends and classmates.  Grab a friend and share the fun!
 
Floral Variety - $35
Thursday, March 26
6 pm only
 
  
 
This class was a hit on Saturday and the morning class sold out.  There is a wait list if you really need the morning class, but there are a limited number of seats in the evening class.  Lisa has used several different techniques in this class.  You'll learn some very creative ways to use patterned papers and embossing folders.  Click here to enroll.
 
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, March 28
9 am OR 1:30 pm
   

This spread is still a work in progress, but as you can see, it's going to be a dreamy work of art.  Lisa will guide you through this one.  She was inspired by an AI artist on Instagram to create a version using real materials to create a digital style piece.  While we love seeing the creativity of AI artists, we long to create on paper with real materials.  This one will be fun.  The morning class is filling fast, but the afternoon class is wide open!  We can't wait to see your unique take on the page she's created! Click here to enroll.
 
This class schedule has been hugely popular and seats are limited in most of the classes. We don't often see "sell out" classes the day they preview.  Don't wait long if you are on the fence.

February 2026
Class Schedule
 
Happy New Year!  What an amazing and busy Preview Day we had on Saturday.  We ran out of Make 'n Take supplies and had to use up the last few sheets of the paper for sale to make more.  But what a sweet Make it was!
 
 
Lisa brought a really great February class schedule to the party! We had a great response to it and most classes are already close to being full.  There are openings in all the classes but act quickly if you are interested in any of them.  They should be posted on the website by Wednesday.  I'll post on Facebook as soon as it goes "live".
 
"Sweet" Heart Cards - $35
Thursday, February 5
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
Five really fun cards in this class for you to make.  Stamps and dies from Penny Black and Catherine Pooler.  There's even a fun layered heart stencil for a background that you'll find fun and easy to use.  These cards are great for the "littles" in your life AND also your friends who love a bit of whimsy. Join us for this one.  It's never too late to make a few Valentine cards that can go beyond the day!
 
Junque Drawer No Sew Journal - $40
  Thursday, February 12
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
 What can I say?!  This "junk" journal is really beautiful and will be a really fun tiny journal to use as a photo book or to alter in your own special style.  It is made entirely of papers from the Junque Journal collection by Simple Stories.  There are 17 "spreads" in the uniquely assembled journal.  No sewing!  There is an acetate cover page on the front and back to protect the book.  
 
Generic Winter Wishes - $35
Thursday, February 19
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
   
 These cards will brighten the day of anyone during the cold winter days to come.  Well, OK.... so it's already cold, but you know what I mean.  The beautiful stamps and dies from Penny Black create cards that are good for men or women.  I know you'll enjoy making them!
 
 Preview Day - Free
Saturday, February 21
come and go
10 am to 4 pm
 
Join us for the reveal of the March classes and enjoy a FREE Make 'n Take.  We'll have new products out for you to shop and our usual Cash Friyay moves to Saturday so you won't miss out on anything!  Grab a friend and share the fun.
 
 Master Page Heart Canvas - $40
Thursday, February 26
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
 
Did you take the Master Page class in January?  Even if you didn't you can still make this stunning 10x10 canvas.  Lisa will be happy to provide a copy of one of her master pages for an additional $5.  You'll use paint, washi tapes, stamps and stencils to create this canvas.  The heart is pressed into modeling paste and will be done for you prior to the class due to the drying time involved.  This would make a great gift for a friend of the heart!
 
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, February 28
9 am OR 1:30 pm
 
    
 What a great way to end the month!  Art Journal Saturday is a favorite with all our resident artists (and even some from other states!)  We all enjoy creating our own version of the sample.  Lisa will be guiding you through her sample this month and even thought it wasn't quite ready in the time for Preview Day, I promise you won't be disappointed!  The sample will be on display in the store as soon as she finishes it.  It will also be posted on Facebook, so keep a watch there!

I'm really excited to share our January class schedule with you.  It was well received on Saturday during Preview Day.   I failed to nab a photo of the FREE Make 'n Take, but it was definately a hit!
 
Here's the schedule for January.
 
Winter Blues - $35

  Start the New Year off with some lovely winter blue cards.  Not the "blues", but the beautiful blue feel of snowy winter days.  Perfect for any occasion, you'll use markers, watercolor, ink pads and shimmer sprays to create the feel of quiet winter days.  Penny Black stamps are just perfect for these serene cards.

More Penny Black stamps!  They make such beautiful Valentine or friendship cards.  This is a "sharpen" your watercolor skills class so come prepared to spend a little extra time.  They go together easily and look so professional.  You'll be using watercolor by Altenew, inks and Tombow markers.  You'll love giving these cards to your favorite friends!

Get ready for some fun!  I'm teaching this time and I used a list of prompts to get started.  I have had such fun working on this one.  There is an interactive piece, a hidden pocket, and tag/envelope pieces.  You do not have to use a hand, but it is fun. I will show you an option if you don't want to do the flipping piece.  Although I am not quite finished with everything I want to add, you can stop where I did to display it for Preview Day or go as far as I will when I finish it over the holidays.  The afternoon class is full, but there are still seats left in the morning class.
 
Master Page - $35

Class Schedule
 
We had a great Preview Day.  The "Live @ 7:45" Preview of Preview Day went off without a hitch.  The tables were laden with fabulous Christmas finds and the Make 'n Take was fun and easy! 


This gift card holder is easy to make using an envelope and scrapbook paper! The envelope gives it stability and you only have to score the side folds. There's a little work scoring all the folds of the scrapbook paper used, but all in all, it's fun to make and not at all hard.

Lisa's December schedule is short and sweet.  The Christmas season is quite busy this year so I know she and I both need some time off.  We'll be taking at least a week off after Christmas, but we'll be back with an energy boost that only time off can give!

Here's the December schedule.....

Thursday, December 4
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 
 
Oh Joy!  I love this piece, don't you?  It's a 6x12 cradled board and would be great displayed on an easel or hung on a wall.  And I think it would be lovely all year 'round to remind us of the JOY Christmas brought to the world when Jesus came to live among us and complete the task of salvation for all!  Paper from the Simple Stories "Believe" collection creates a fun background and is completed by the addition of stamped trees and die cut deer on top of the die cut word "Joy".  The snow covered twig makes a perfect anchor.  This one is just as much fun to make as it is beautiful!
 
Thursday, December 11
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

Our friend Adona suggested this to Lisa so many years ago that we can't even remember when.  Of course it became a tradition because who doesn't need last minute gift tags for all the last minute wrapping!?  This year Lisa has found so many images to use that it was hard to decide which ones would make the cut!  Anyway, I think you'll have lots of fun making these and probably decide to make more when you get home!
 
Preview Day - FREE
Saturday, December 20
FREE Make 'n Take
10 am to 4 pm
Come and Go
 
Join us for the reveal of the January class schedule and enjoy a FREE Make 'n Take.  We'll either have a lot of new things to shop or an end of the year sale.  It's the Christmas season, so I'm pretty sure there will be snacks and gifts with purchase.  Lisa and I are looking forward to seeing you!
 
That's it for the class schedule! 
 
Gift Certificate Special!
The annual Gift Certificate special starts with Black Friday (Nov 28th).  For every $25 spent for gift certificates, you will receive a $5 bonus gift certificate at no charge!  This is a great time to buy a $5 (or more!) certificate for each of your crafting friends and get something for yourself for free!  Be sure you let any family members know about the special as that bonus can be added to any certificate they buy you!

November 2025
Class Schedule
 
We had such a sweet day on Saturday.  It was, of course, the October Preview Day with a FREE Make 'n Take.  I take full blame for the fact that it went waaaaay slower than expected.  You just can't plan for the chaos that ocurred that day!  Still, we had fun and the Make was a hit.  
 
 
  

Background was made using the smoosh, spritz and drag technique with the new Tim Holtz mini Oxide ink pads.  Leaves are Tim Holtz stamps and the sentiment is from Catherine Pooler.
 
Lisa's November class schedule is short and sweet.  There are only 3 weeks for classes this month due to the Thanksgiving week holidays.  She has created a stellar selection of card classes and I am sure you'll want to take all three!
 
Exploring Oxide Cubes - $35
Thursday, November 6
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

The Make 'n Take was just a preview of what you can do with the Oxide cubes!  Come learn a variety of ways those cubes can be used to make the exciting cards in this class. The cubes come packed in color palettes that make it even easier! You'll want to make more of them when you experience how quick and easy these cards can come together! 
 
Quick & Easy Christmas - $35
Thursday, November 13
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

The Spellbinders collection of BetterPress LetterPress plates is growing by leaps and bounds.  You'll have fun learning how to use them to create the professional look of the letter press system of printing.  The cardstocks used in this class are absolutely gorgeous and you'll be excited to send these cards to special family or friends.

Preview Day - FREE
Saturday, November 15
10 am to 4 pm
Come & Go
FREE Make 'n Take
 
Most of you know how much fun Preview Day is. We load our classroom tables with new product and share a FREE Make 'n Take with you.  I get on Facebook and do a "Live @ 7:45 am" preview of the Preview Day tables and tell you of any specials.  This month was filled with unusual video catastrophies, but all in all, we got it done!  Feel free to bring a friend or two with you to share in all the fun!
 
Christmas Variety - $35
Thursday, November 20
10:30 am OR 6 pm
 

Check out this group of cards!  Penny Black and PinkFresh stamps and dies along with beautiful papers go together in a dynamic way.  The plaid papers are so beautiful and that gold shimmer paper is a crowd favorite. These cards are so elegant and, once again, you'll be happy to send any of these cards to friends or family.
 
Art Journal Saturday - $20
Saturday, November 22
9 am OR 1:30 pm
 
 
Lisa had one more art journal spread started.  We said last month would be the last one for the year, but she's just couldn't wait.  It wasn't finished so she will get that ready and we'll post the pic later.  Trust me!  Her art journal pages have a special quality about them you just have to create with her!

Closed
Friday. Nov 28 - Black Friday event
