Greetings Island Adventurers
Hi everyone. I want to start off by thanking everyone who stopped by the store last Monday and made a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). The WWP serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001 and their families. I know you loved the discount you received and the felt good about helping our veterans in the process.
I spent a lot of time at the store last week - both being crafty and working on a top secret project. Can't unveil it quite yet - I am hoping that all the pieces fall into place this week and I can announce it next week. Cross your fingers for me! I continued working my England/Ireland trip album and see a light at the end of the tunnel. I will reach my goal and have it completed by the end of the month!! The rest of the time, I played with some of the "toys" I've collected over the last couple of months and made cards for the Show Oklahoma We Care Project. Scrapbook Island is honored to be a part of this project collecting handmade cards for those affected by the recent tragedies in Oklahoma. See the Island News section for more details. Don't wait long - we need your cards by Wednesday, June 5th.
Upcoming Adventures: Frank Garcia's sample for his Le Reve Mixed Media Album adventure has arrived and it is incredible. Now that both of his samples are here, you really need to stop by the store and check them out. It will be hard to decide on only one class, so maybe you should plan on taking both! Georgia Sommers will be here on Saturday with 2 adventures for both card makers and mixed media enthusiasts alike: her Dreamweaver Stencils class Faux Cross-Stitch and her Faux Watercolor Copic class. I am so excited to learn this technique - I had no idea you could achieve that type of effect with Copic Markers. Finally, Karen France's 4th of July Banner takes place on Sunday. She has provided a sneak peak and it looks amazing - really vintage and patriotic.
New Adventures: Just a couple of new adventures this week: Lexi Grenzer has scheduled her July classes. Her first offering, Shabby Clocks takes the new Tim Holtz Assemblage Clock to a new level. If you have been wanting to get your hands on this latest offering from Tim, this is the class for you. Her second class, Paper Doll Pendant, is just adorable. In this class, not only do you get to play with Ice Resin (one of my new favorite things) but also Julie Nutting's Paper Doll Stamps.
New Fun Stuff: As usual, I have included collages of some of the new products. For those of you who have gone wild over the Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll Stamps, the next release has been announced and the Island is now taking pre-orders! She will only be allowed a limited amount in the initial release, so make sure to get yours!
Don't forget that there is a Master Class Schedule included in the Island Excursions section. So, no matter which section class details are included, all the adventures are listed here with links to the class pictures and descriptions. We also have quite a few guest designers coming, so don't miss out the Save the Date section.
For you card makers, the Card Swap information for June will be included next week. In the meantime, I hope you will make a few for the Show Oklahoma We Care Project.
Make sure to  to stay up to date on all the adventures planned at the Island you really need to so you can keep up with all the product arrivals and any announcements of future 'save the dates' for guest instructors coming to the Island. For those of you who look at our class calendar on-line may have noticed that it hasn't been updated in the last few weeks. That is because we have something new in the works that will replace it. I hope to be able to have all the kinks worked out so that it can be revealed next week. In the meantime, the newsletter and the Master Class Schedule below are the best way to be up to date on all the planned Island Excursions and New Fun Stuff at the Island.
Virtual Monday - This week Tim Holtz returns with an oldies, but goodies video from 2008 demonstration the versatility of Adirondack Alcohol Inks.

Julie Nutting's Mixed Media Doll stamps have taken our crafty world by storm. And as a Mixed Media artist and jewelry designer, I'm always looking for the next great way to incorporate paper craft into my designs. Join me in this workshop to create your own sassy paper doll pendant. We will be using Mixed Media Doll No.4, but No. 3, No.5 and No.6 can work too. So if you've already purchased some of these lovelies, you're welcome to bring them in and add them to your designs. I'll also be showing you how to use the new Spellbinder Artisan X-Plorer machine and dies, so we'll get to play with some fun tools too! Once our dolls colored, layered and sealed, I'll show you my full proof way of sealing so you have crystal clear designs under glassy jewelers grade ICE Resin �.
