Jan, Jan, January

Hey Bloggerettes,

Welcome to the last week of January - if we can get through this month it seems we can tolerate the rest of the winter.  We are expecting some orders this week - yeehaw!   Time to freshen up the place.

Valentines Day is our next holiday and we have 2 projects lined up.  Susan is doing a 3"x3" chipboard 3D cube in mixed media that holds a mini album.  Re-cap 2012 with this cute little project.  It is scheduled for Jan 8 @ 6 PM.

 

"Amour" mini album by Pink Paislee is also a cute Valentines' keepsake.  It is scheduled for Jan 6 @ 6 PM.

 

Susan has also created a seasonal series class that starts with "Snow Days".  Each season you will do a mini album showcasing your favorite memories.  The last class will be dedicated to creating a mixed media sleeve to house them all in.  Class is scheduled for Jan 31 @ 6 PM.



 



 

 

Stay tuned for more ideas and "sharesies".  (BTW - anything is a word in scrapbooking!)

Hey Bloggerettes,

We are planning the classes/events for the 2013 year and would like to let you know what's happening.

Project Life Class

Hi Ladies,

Susan here… Who has heard of “Project Life”?  It is the latest craze in documenting a year of your everyday life.  Each month you summarize the past 30 days of your life, the little things as well as the big moments with pictures ranging from 2X3 – 4X6 as well as journaling cards and other fun goodies.  It is quite simple.   I know you are probably saying “I don’t have time for this”, right?  OK who has a phone with a camera in it?  I don’t know about you but I take a lot of everyday pictures with my phone.  I rarely take my big camera anymore.  I think this can be the perfect marriage, Project Life using pictures taken on my phone!  This sounds do-able.

Does this sound like something of interest to you?  Join me for a year of documenting  your family’s life with this fun new monthly class.  The class with include an album to house your pages.  Contact the store for more details.

I am also teaching two other fun projects.

On January 31 @ 6:00PM I will be teaching a mixed media album called "Snow Days".  This will be the first album in a series of 4.  I will be doing one album for each season that will be housed in a box.  This class is $35.00/member per album with an additional cost for the box.

I will also be teaching a mixed media box album called "Forever & Always" on February 8 @ 6:00PM.

This little album is the perfect Valentine gift or a beautiful keepsake for yourself!  

Thanks,
Susan

Hey Bloggerettes,
