Project Life is a class for those that don't have a lot of time to scrapbook. Join me for efficient memory keeping that doesn't drain time, energy and wallets and looks fabulous. This is NOT traditional scrapbooking and it is NOT digital. No creativity required! No gluing or cropping! It is so quick, so easy, and very affordable. You don't need much - just your photos and a small time commitment of attending my class. You bring your photos with you and you get your albums done here at class. Most of the time is set aside for working on your own albums. But you also get to do a make-n-take page as well! Here a couple glimpses of October's make-n-take Project Life page (double-sided).
BTW, the next Project Life event will be December 4th.
**Pay
$8.00
- Includes instruction, demonstration, work time & assistance
$10.00
- Includes all of the above AND this make 'n' take page.
(Demonstrators in my group pay $8 on or at the event)

Scrappin' Sunday is a monthly event for anyone who loves making 12x12 scrapbook pages. Each month we get together at this event to build a 2-page spread. Some work on 4 sets (or even more)! Bring your pages home to add your photos and journaling. How wonderful to be able to show off your family photos in albums filled with fantastic, hand-crafted pages! Presenting.. the Scrappin' Sunday pages for the month of October!
BTW, the next Scrappin' Sunday event will be December 6th.
(Don't worry. It's easier than it looks.)
***Pay
$20 to register. $20 is refunded when you place a qualifying order at the event.
(Demonstrators in my group pay $5.)

Watercolor Wishes Card Class

I absolutely LOVE the Watercolor Wishes all-inclusive card kit - new to our 2015-16 Annual Catalog! The cards are simply beautiful. The kit includes everything you need*...stamps, ink, printed and scored card stock, embellishments, and envelopes. It even includes a clear block so you can give the kit as a gift to a new stamper OR start creating with your kit right away.
Are you excited to give it a try!? Let's make the cards in the kit together!
Wednesday, November 18th - 6:30 PM
Cost: $45*
*The cost of the kit would be around $45 to have it shipped directly to you. But when you come to my class, you get to use my special adhesives and get tips and pointers for putting your cards together quickly and easily. I hope you'll join me!

Christmas Cards & Coffee/Cosmos
|
I want to get a head start on my Christmas cards this year, so I've decided to host a special event that will help me get them done. Are you feeling motivated to do the same? Let get together for a productive, fun, and social time to work on them. I'll have coffee, tea, cocoa and snacks available during the day hours to fuel our energy. And in the evening, my husband will offer up his services and mix up cosmopolitans! (If you want to work through lunch or dinner time, feel free to bring your own meal. We have the fridge space.)
I'll be holding the event all day/all evening - come when it works for you. But please indicate the time you expect to arrive and depart so I can set aside the space for you.
The cost is only $10. But do you want to attend for free? Place an order for your card stock, envelopes, embellishments and other supplies needed for making your cards,** and I can have it all waiting for you when you arrive. I can even pre-cut your base supplies if you wish!
Thursday, November 19th - 9:30 AM-9:30 PM (let me know when to expect you when you register)
RSVP by 11/4 (This is the day that orders/designs are due so I can get the supplies ordered in time.)
Need to come up with your card idea?! I can help with that too! I have several ideas to inspire you.
Come over and let's get your Christmas card designed! Please contact me now if you would like to schedule a free consultation to create your card.
Maybe you can even find a design in this photo that will inspire you? AND YES!!...We can figure out how to work it around a family photo!
Woo-hoo! I'm so excited!
** Or just place an order for $40+ or more in merchandise as your "entrance fee."
