Class: Eclectic Christmas with Kathy Rosecrans

Kathy taught this incredible class last Saturday morning and has generously agreed to teach it again this Tuesday.  These cards are the epitome of yuletide eclectic and absolutely sparkle with personality.  A bit of vintage, a pinch of shabby chic, and a dash of whimsy make them special.  We are always in need of a few last minute Christmas cards for the surprise houseguests and the folks we inadvertently leave off the holiday card list.  Join Kathy to create these cards and you'll definitely be prepared for any surprises that Jolly Old Elf might have up his fur-trimmed sleeve :D

Since this class is just around the corner (as in tomorrow), please contact Kathy directly at krosecrans@comcast.net or call her at (505)410-3810 if you would like to be added to the roster!

December 18th, Tuesday:  2:00pm - 4:00ish (class fee $25.00)

Class: Tim Holtz Inspired Christmas Cards with Cheryl Valadez

Join me Saturday afternoon and get a little messy with some Tim Holtz inks and dies.  You'll create 2 holiday cards perfect for the gift giving season.  Both feature handmade backgrounds and LOTS of embellishments that make them special.  

Add these items to your class kit if you have them on hand:  Vintage Photo or Gathered Twigs Distress Ink Pad, Sponge Applicator, tweezers, and a stylus.

December 15th, Saturday:  1:00pm - 4:00pm (class fee $25.00)

Class: Book Pendant with Arley Berryhill

Join Arley Friday and create a gorgeous pendant for the bibliophile in your life.  A soft leather cover delicately envelopes "aged" pages and a bit of exquisite hardware and vintage ephemera adds to the mystery of whats inside.  The chain necklace is NOT part of the class, but if you want to stay after class, Arley will help you make a necklace.  If you want to make the necklace, bring a chain (20" - 36" long), jump rings, eye pins, fastener, beads, and round nose jewelry pliers.

Here are more details from Arley:
