September samples are done!

Now to cut and prep everything.

This is a Sizzix stamp and die that I acquired some time ago.

They work beautifully together.

I decide to go gender neutral, but it can go either way,

so your choice.

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

your favorite coloring medium

I used colored pencils & colorless blender

sand eraser

edger

foam tape or 

fun foam, white 1"x 2"

That should do it!

Hope to see you soon!

I was in the mood for flowers, everything is blooming!

This image is perfect for water coloring.

I used a large flat brush to add clean water to the image.

I then used a medium round brush to color the image 

with distress inks that have been applied to my craft sheet.

I will list the colors I used but feel free to bring what ever colors you have.

Please bring your basic class kit

2 paint brushes (see above)

small container for water

spray bottle w/ water

non stick craft sheet

black edger

foam tape

forest moss

hickory smoke

That should do it, 

have a great week!

I love cards that have a unique movement to them.

I love Art Impression Stamps.

Put them together and you have this fun stacker card.

The hardest part was choosing which stamp to buy!

I went with the dogs since the top dog looks like my little Ace!

Too cute huh!

So I couldn't decide on the sentiment, so I will bring the one

 that came with the set and you can stamp it on the inside of your card

 if you would like.

Please bring your basic class kit including

navy edger

color medium of you choice and any tools you may need

I will bring my water color pencils

you will need a brush & water

non stick craft mat

See you Thursday!

uh oh, it's February already!

Today's card is using Technique Tuesday Greenhouse stamps and dies.

I love this series, usually florals this month was a bit different.

I used a piece of Echo Park winter paper and 

couldn't decide which side I liked best,

so I made one of each.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

coloring medium of your choice

I used watercolor pencils

water brush/paint brush

spray bottle with water

non stick craft mat

edgers, navy/brown

That should do it!

As far as I can tell we don't have any birthdays this month.

See you soon,

Handmade Gifts 1/24/2015

Before the holidays I put it out there for you to give me suggestions

 of what you would like to do in this class. 

Here is the first suggestion I received.

A perpetual flip calendar.

This is the prototype,

 I am in the process of refining a few hiccups that I encountered along the way.

But you will get the idea.

Guess what paper I used for this sample, yup Echo Park!

This class will be Saturday January 24 at 10:30 am

cost is $15.

This class will be slightly different from my other classes because

 I want you to pick the paper that you will use in your project.

So stop by Scraps Galore, register for the class

 and pick one or two coordinating pieces of card stock.

I used one pattern for the base and one for the calendar.

Please keep in mind that we will be stamping on the calendar pieces

 so your paper must be able to show the stamping.

Give your selection to whomever is working they will bag it with your name and leave it for me.

If I have any questions I will call you, (so make sure I have a phone number)

Not sure what paper you want, I will be glad to help you pick out the perfect paper.

Whew! So all these choices need to be made by Saturday January 17

 so I can take it home and prep your kit.

Seriously if you have any questions, leave your name and number at the store and I will call you,

or email me at suekapp@comcast.net.

Call Scraps Galore today to reserve your spot

Update: Version 2.0

Now we're good to go!
Same applies as above, pick your own paper!
