As always your advance payment of class fees guarantees your spot in class. Always remember to bring your basic class kit. If you need a list of what should be included, call us.

That's it for now..... until next post..... Happy Stampin'!

JULY CLASS SCHEDULE

Ok, I've said it before and I'll say it again..... Lisa has outdone herself once again. I don't know how she does it, but she continues to create the most wonderful projects for you to make.
*
Remember to hold a place in class you must pay for your class. Refunds or credit for another class is available when you notify Lisa 48 hours in advance that you will not be able to attend. If a particular class you want to take is full, let us add you to a waiting list so we can call you if there are any cancellations. And if there are enough on the waiting list, she can sometimes add another class on another day or add it to the class schedule for the next month.
*
Anyway, here's what's coming up for July:
*
CHEERFUL GREETINGS - July 7 & 9th: Cards with bright colors, cheerful greetings - need I say more? There is a fancy fold card that one of our customers shared with us and you will have a great time learning this technique. (Store will be officially closed for painting, cleaning and reorganizing, but class will be held and you will be able to shop during the class).
*
ARTISTIC CREATIONS - July 14, 16, & 17: This card class is devoted to a new group of stamps by Lynne Perella. These are very artsy and you will be surprised at how easy they are to create.
*

DEMO DAY - Saturday, July 18: Yup.... always free, always come and go, always a FREE make-it-take-it. New class schedule for August will be available.

*

DRESS IT UP - July 21, 23 & 24: A charming class featuring cards with a clothing theme. These cards are perfect for a variety of "girlfriend" occasions.

*

SWEET VARIETY - July 28, 30 & 31: As the name implies, these are sweet cards that you will enjoy making.
