classes include 2 layout classes – Disney & Easter themed – and the cost of each 2 page layout is only $10! everything is cut, all you have to do is put it together! {kits for this class available if you can’t make it; just tell Susan when you sign up}. take one or BOTH!

then, we’ll be making a Disney themed altered book, with lots of Reminisce goodies! you’ll get 2 cardstock sticker sheets and 1 – 12 X 12 cardstock sticker sheet to embellish your book with! don’t worry if you haven’t taken one of my altered book classes yet, i’d consider this one a “beginner” altered book class. but i think those of you who have taken one of my other book classes will enjoy the project too! there are still a few spots left, so please call {830}214-1690 to sign up if you are interested!

then, on sunday, may 6th, i’ll be teaching this Mother’s Day Box of Boxes class at STAMP ANTONIO…

we’ll transform an 8 X 10 box of boxes into a unique gift for mom for mother’s day using LOTS of great products from Clearsnap. you’ll get to play with Smooch Accent Inks, Smooch Spritz, Smooch Glitz, Fairy Dust Glitter, Design Adhesives and Designer Foils just to name a few. i’ve included plenty of trinkets from my vintage stash too — vintage buttons, old chandelier crystals, bottle caps, handmade vintage lace, junque jewelry bits, old art supplies, dried roses and more. i’ll also bring along more great chachkies for you to select from to help tailor your project for the recipient. other products used include: printed papers by Glitz, Bazzill Antique Book Papers and stamps from Paper Wing Productions. this project would also be perfect for daughters, sisters, grandmothers, friends or as a remembrance piece. the sample is now at Stamp Antonio if you’d like to see it in person. cost of this class is $35 and space is limited. so please call 210-764-7900 to sign up or for more info.

first, you can come and go anytime between 9:30 and 12:00 and make one or both of these layouts for only $10 each! you can’t buy the supplies to make them for that!

here’s a peak at the Disney Layout…

you have your choice of title — either disney or mickey…

and here’s a look at the Easter Layout…

please note that stickers on either layout may vary…

if you’d like to take a look at these layouts in person, you can view them at Scrapbook N’ More.

then, from 1:00 to 4:00, we’ll be making a Disney aLteReD book…

the cost of this class is only $35, and includes everything you need to make it except the glue! also included in the class fee is a 12 X 12 flower sticker sheet and 2 – cardstock embellie sticker sheets! if you haven’t taken an altered book class before, don’t worry. i’ve developed some techniques to make it quick and easy. if you HAVE taken some of my altered book classes, then you’ll be able to put this together in NO time as it’s an easier version of my books. great way to display the BEST photos from your Disney trip or trips!

space in BOTH classes is limited, so please be sure to sign up soon if you’d like to attend. you can contact Susan at {830}214-1690 to sign up or to get more info.  you can sign up for a kit for either of the layouts; which will include a color photo and directions. but written directions will not be available for the Disney aLteReD book.

thanks!

my monthly design team project just posted on the CLEARSNAP BLOG…

it’s an everyday card that you could send to a friend just because. i used Stephanie Barnard ColorBox Premium Dye Inks like watercolors to fill in the sassy lady design – stamp by Hampton Art.  if you’d like the supply list or directions, just head on over to the blog and check them out!

tfl!

this tuesday, march 27, i’ll be at Scrapbook N’ More in new braunfels teaching PhotoFull and Money $aving Sketches from 10:30 to 1:30. we tried something new last month, and it seemed to work, so we are doing it again. you can come and go anytime between the hours of 10:30 and 1:30 and you can sign up to take either class or BOTH! the crop room will be open after 1:30, so you are also welcome to stay and work on finishing up your layouts after that.

as far as photos go…

for PhotoFull:

bring 20+ photos with the majority being horizontal

*** this is ANOTHER REALLY BIG layout! so bring that BIG stack of photos that you have been avoiding! if you have a REALLY REALLY BIG stack, this layout can be easily extended to add even MORE photos!

and for Money $aving $ketches:

one sketch has room for 5 photos and the other holds 7.  the photo sizes are 4 X 6 and 4 X 4′s. most of the 4 X 6′s are horizontal, and the 4 X 4′s can be either verticals or horizontal photos – you can crop either to fit the 4 X 4′s.

remember that your supplies ARE included in these class fees for both these classes, so you’ll get to select your own papers to match your photos!

other class news…

PhotoFull and Money $aving $ketches classes will be on thursday, april 5 and i’m working on getting the samples finished – so more on them later!

i also have a mother’s day class in the works at Stamp Antonio – it is scheduled for sunday, may 6 – time TBA and i’m still working on the sample for that as well.

i can tell you that i’m excited about the concept… we’ll be altering tim holtz confiquration boxes using LOTS of different Clearsnap products. i’m thinking of this class as a “play day”. my plan is to bring inks, glitters, Smooch, Smooch Spritz and Glitz along with some little goodies from my vintage stash, so that you can pick and chose what you like and really customize and personalize your finished project to YOUR mom.

a date for the beach altered book has not been set yet, i didn’t want to get too far ahead of myself, and i’m still waiting on some special little bits and pieces that i ordered to finish up the book.

i’ve also been hitting the internet, flea markets and estate sales to hunt for MORE trinkets and treasures and i’ve made quite a few good finds lately. maybe i’ll post some pics to let you see what goodies i’ve got to use for future altered project.

well, that’s it for now, i guess i’ll start working on getting to my 500th post!

thanks!
