December 1st, Saturday:  10:00am - 12:00pm (class fee $25.00)

Class: Altered Book Part III with Sue Rosenberg

Bring your book and kit.  Sue will astound you with more of her very cool techniques to turn a book that would have gone to the landfill into a piece of art.  Upcycling at its finest!

November 30th, Friday:  10:00am - 12:00pm (class fee $15.00)   

Class: Telescoping Card with Caroline Lawson

Join Caroline Saturday and create a fabulous telescoping card with lots of steampunk influence.  Layers of die cuts and paper form the base and a series of strategically placed brads create the telescoping effect.  Add metal accents and you have something spectacular and unique!  You'll want to keep this one for yourself!

November 24th, Saturday:  1:00pm - 4:00pm (class fee $25.00)

Class: Oodles of Jewelry with Anne Engelhardt

Join the owner of Craft Fantastic, the one and only Anne Engelhardt, and create oodles of Craft Fantastic jewelry!  You'll make all of the items pictured above, plus you'll learn from the master.  Anne's classes are fun and you always walk away with something spectacular.  This time it's an armful of Craft Fantastic jewelry perfect for Christmas stockings, hostess gifts and impromptu gift exchanges.  OR... keep them for yourself and enjoy the compliments you're sure to receive when you don your custom creations.  You CANNOT afford to miss this class!

November 17th, Saturday:  10:00am - 1:00pm (class fee $28.00) 

Class: Holiday Card Master Sheet with Sue Rosenberg

Join Sue R. this Friday and create a 2' x 3' master sheet with a holiday background, which can be used to make at least 30 cards.  You'll be using gesso, acrylic paint, rubber stamps, collage elements, and embellishments.  Bring an apron, as this is going to get messy!  But it will be fun, sort of like fingerpainting when you were a kid! 

November 16th, Friday:  10:00am - 4:00pm (class fee $30.00)

Stamp A Mania Classes and Trunk Show!

Join Mark and Cynthia Friday and Saturday, November 9th and 10th, for a couple of great classes and a trunk show featuring their wonderful products and images.  The morning class each day will focus on brayering and run from 10:00am - 12:00pm.  The afternoon class each day will be using Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers.  Each class is a steal at $10.00!  You can't afford to miss them!

Halloween Potluck October 31st!

HALLOWEEN POTLUCK!

Pop into the shop Wednesday at noon 

and join Nancy's Bewitching Soiree!

Bring a bite or a nibble to share 

and prepare to have a wicked good time! 

There won't be a card class that morning, 

but feel free to enjoy a spooky little make-n-take

during the potluck.

We can't wait to see you!  

Repeat Class: Halloween Cards with Cheryl Valadez

A few folks were unable to attend this class when I had originally scheduled it, so Nancy is kindly allowing me to repeat it this Sunday at 1:00pm.  Give Nancy a ring (number is in the top right corner), if you're interested in taking it.  

If you're looking for details regarding Copic colors, you can find the original class posting here.

October 28th, Sunday:  1:00pm - 4:00pm + (class fee is $25.00)

Class: The Poe Box with Nancy Kreischer

Join Nancy K. Saturday and create another wonderful Altoid Tin project.  This time she gives this humble item the Edgar Allen Poe treatment complete with an accordian book housed inside.    Spectacular distressing turns this mini art piece into something special and macabre.  You won't want to miss this class!

Sorry, folks!  I missed out on my photo opportunity for this project, so you'll just have to trust me when I tell you it's amazing!

October 27th, Saturday:  10:00am - 2:00pm (class fee $25.00)
