Mini Classes

New to our line up is Mini Classes. These will be 30-45 minute demonstrations (some being hands on) of tehniques that you will want to use on your scrapbook pages and cards. For those with the time to stay afterwards we will remain open until 8:30pm to give you time to crop and practice the technique you've just learned. If you are familiar with the technique we're doing that week then come by and enjoy some crop time. As with other classes and crops we need 3 participants for the mini classes to make.
If you plan to crop afterwards you will need to provide your own basic supplies: trimmer, scissors, adhesive, etc...
Here's whats planned for September:
11th- In stitches: learn to use stitching templates and papers to create unique embellishments for your handmade cards and scrapbook pages.
18th- The basics: this one is for the true beginner. Learn about the tools and basic techniques you'll need to create your first scrapbook page.
23rd- Tool Box: let us introduce you to circle cutters, decorative scissors, punches and more.
October 16- Stamping/Chipboard: many options are available when you create your own embellishments with stamps and chipboard.
Oct. 23- Mini Albums: the holidays are on their way and mini albums are great gifts. Come see some of the styles that are available. Begin making a dent in your Christmas list early.
Oct. 28- Sketches/Page Maps: Don't feel like you have a designers eye? Sketches and Page Maps can help you create designer looking pages quickly.

If you have any suggestions for techniques or mini classes you'd like to see let me know.
