We certainly had a great time Saturday during Demo Day.  Great tag Lisa!  And getting to use all that grungy Tim Holtz product - well, that was the cat's pajamas!  Gotta love all those new stencils!

Without further ado, here is the September Class schedule....  If you didn't make it to Demo Day, there is plenty of time to sign up for these fab classes.

Totally popular!  If you missed this class on the August schedule, here is your chance to take it....  A fun Halloween decoration using Graphic 45 papers and more.

All Occasion Basic Grey
September 5 & 6
$25


A new program from Basic Grey we are trying.  You get a kit with complete directions and supplies for 8 greeting cards.  You will make these 4 cards in class.  The August kit was a hit, so we will be trying this kit and a few more in the coming months.

Tim Holtz, Teresa Collins, Memory Box and more are combined to make this classy set of cards to send to all your spooky friends.

More Gelli printing and the cutest little house box you ever did see!  You'll print a variety of papers to collage to your house as well as learn to print directly on your house.  Lots of fun here!  If you are new to Gel printing and don't want to invest in a Gelli printing plate just yet, Kelley has Gelli Plates for you to borrow.  A must do, no experience required class for you!  This class is limited to 10 so don't wait to sign up.

Haunted Hanging

This project is so dang cute, I am gonna find a way to do it.... even if it takes both classes for me to finish!  And I don't even decorate for the holidays.... really!  You'll go batty over this one so don't miss out!

Demo Day
Saturday, September 21
FREE

Come and go all day from 10 am to 4 pm.  Watch out tho, cuz I'll be doing the make-it-take-it in Lisa's place.  Lisa's daughter is being honored with a bridal shower smack dab in the middle of Demo Day.  Now I have been known to act like the Wicked Witch of the West, but I am just not that mean......  Lisa's class schedule will be on display as usual, complete with samples and you will be able to register for the classes you want to take.  If you're doing the shop hop, this is the last day to take advantage of the 15% discount and complete your passport for entry in the drawings.  Be sure you check out this shop hop blog post for details.

The Good Witch

Now I'm tellin' you this is one of the cutest projects I've seen using one of Catherine Moore's Character Constructions stamps.  Bright and cheerful, yes indeedy my little pretty!  Perfect project for you paper doll fanatics.....

SHOP HOP 2013

SHOP  HOP 2013
September 14th - 21st, 2013

Are you ready for some fun?!!!

Five great stores in the Metro OKC/Edmond/Norman/Harrah area have banded together to bring you a Shop Hop.  It's kinda like a Blog Hop except more fun cuz you get to actually visit the stores personally.

Details!

Each store has 25 "Passports" available.  Whoever you get your Passport from is your "home" country.  Every store you visit will stamp your Passport.  When you get 3 passport stamps, you will be entered in a drawing for a Prize Basket from your "home" country.  5 Passport stamps gets you an entry in the drawing for the Grand Prize basket with goodies from all 5 stores....  During the Shop Hop you will receive 15% off your purchases.  You can visit each store as many times as you wish during the Shop Hop week for the discount...  just be sure to show your passport when you check out at the register.

Participating stores are Paper Arts (Edmond), My Heart's Fancy (OKC/Edmond), Paper Crown (OKC), Scrap That (Norman), and Scrapbook Alley (Harrah).

If you purchase your passport from us, you will receive a special "Shop Hop" gift.  Passports are $15 and will be available here beginning Tuesday, August 13th.

Join us for all the fun - you'll be glad you did.

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

2013 Summer Swap

SHRINE  SWAP

We like swaps....  we really do.  This one was a little different.  Instead of making 12 of something (tag, card, postcard, shape), we decided it would be fun for participants to create one altered object to swap.  Now, you could do more than one if you wanted, but it only took one to participate.

We chose a masonite shrine from Coffee Break Designs.  No theme.... just create from the heart.  

To be fair I couldn't choose the swaps for partipants, so swaps were wrapped in a manner recognizable only by the contributing artist. When it was time to pick up the swaps, each artist blindly picked a bag and the rest is history!

But, YOU would like to see what was created, wouldn't you?  Here are the photos.....

 A stunning patriotic contribution by Alice Meares

A beautiful floral design by Darla McLeroy

The coolest Bee Box by Linda Kobosky

A fine piece of art by Linda Corbin-Young

Butterfly magic by Marie Brown

A perfect Angel blessing shrine by Mary Buck

A bejeweled beauty by Linda Corbin-Young

Hi-ho Silver and Away! by Alice Meares

The Queen of Hearts flew in from Delaware by the ever talented Suze Perrott

And last, but certainly not least.... a Halloween cabin by Nicole Kohmescher

Lisa and I were devastated that we were unable to get ours finished as we definately wanted every single one of these pieces of art!

Hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of art from a few of our many talented friends.

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