Workshops

April 11 & 12

I am so please to be welcoming Stephanie Ackerman back for another round of exciting workshops.  Stephanie was such a joy last year that I just couldn't wait to have her back again.  Here's what she'll be teaching next month....

A Whole New Doodle

Friday, April 11

10 am to 1 pm

$65

Revamped and even better than before!  If you want to learn how to doodle the Homegrown Hospitality way, this is the class for you.  You will learn the basics of doodle lettering by creating in your own composition style "doodle" book.  Then you'll learn how to add details and dimensions using doodle borders, boxes & scallops.  This is just plain fun!

52 Card Pick {Me} Up

Friday, April 11

3 pm to 6 pm

$65

Stephanie taught the 2013 version here last year and this year brings her 2014 version to the table.  It's a whole new ball game.  You will take a deck of playing cards and create cards using a whole new style that will encourage and comfort you or someone else!  I promise you will love, love, love this class.....

Miscellany - Making Art For Art

Part 1

Saturday, April 12

10 am to 1 pm

$75 or $65 without the Gelli Plate

You will spend time playing, experimenting, and creating one of a kind art .  You will use the popular Gelli Arts printing plate, acrylic paints, stencils and more.  If you haven't used a Gelli Plate yet, it's time you jumped in with both hands!  The art you create in this class will be used in Miscellany - Make Art From Art, Part 2 should you decide to take that class.  However, you do not have to take this class to take Part 2.

Miscellany - Make Art from Art

Part 2

Saturday, April 12

3 pm to 6 pm

$75

In this workshop you will spend time with Stephanie creating more art by using the art you created in Miscellany Part 1.  Didn't take that class?  No Problem!  Stephanie will share art from her own stash of art papers.....  Together you will create pieces to use in your Project Life albums, 52 Card Pick Up cards, or just to use making beautiful gifts for friends and family.

Enrollment is now open.  You can call the store at 405-509-5688, email me at maura@myheartsfancyok.com, or come by the store.  Enrollments received by phone or email will be billed by PayPal unless you make other arrangements.

Join us for all the fun....  I know you will be glad you did.

That's it for now..... Until next post..... 

Happy Creatin'!

   You will create this sweet Boxed Book set.  You'll start by creating beautiful mono-prints.  Then you will create 3 purse-sized journals and a beautiful box to hold them.  A great gift for a friend or yourself!  Bring your gelli plate if you have one.  If you don't have a gelli plate of your own, Kelley has one for you to borrow (especially if you are trying mono-printing for the first time).

Basic Grey Unique Cards

Basic Grey has a new program out that we think you will enjoy.....  They have created card kits with enough supplies and printed instructions to create 8 cards.  You will create 4 of them in class with Lisa's help.  You will go home with enough supplies to make numerous cards in addition to the instructions for the remaining 4 cards.  This class is limited to 18 students total so be sure to sign up as soon as possible.

"Lottie" Accordian Tag Book

Sunday, August 11

Inspiration comes from many places, but Lisa saw a wonderful Angel Accordian Tag Book in the most recent Art Journaling magazing from Somerset.  She created her very own version and I don't think you will find a cuter version anywhere!  You will love this project.....

Flycatcher's Dream (repeat)
