September SCRAP-A-Stack Projects

Scrap-A-Stack is Friday, Sept. 10th at 7 PM.  Here are the projects we will be completing! As always, there is room for your own creativity in any of these pages - I'll provide the basic supplies, and you can arrange them any way you wish!  Class fee is $30, or $25 if you bring your own adhesive.  I'll also take $5 off your class fee if you bring a friend.  PLEASE let me know you want to attend by WEDNESDAY, Sept. 8th!  I've extended the deadline to provide a chance for more people to come!

Halloween 2-page spread, Fall page, Thanksgivng page:

Note: The Halloween page says 2009 because that's what I plan to use it for, but you can leave that off or make it a different year!

August Stamp-A-Stack projects!

Stamp-A-Stack is on August 6 at 7 PM.  Register to attend by July 30th so I have time to prepare for you.

The class fee is $30 for 12 cards and envelopes. You will make 4 of each of the 3 designs.  Pay only $25 if you bring your own adhesive!  Save $5 more if you bring a brand new person to stamp with us!

*Class fees have increased due to an increase in the cost of card stock.

Fall-themed birthday card, sympathy/get well card, and thank you card.

July SCRAP-A-Stack Projects

Scrap-A-Stack is coming soon!  July 9, 7 PM in my home.  At this SAS you will make 3 different projects, shown below.  Cost for this class is $30, or $25 if you bring the adhesive of your choice (I recommend repositionable adhesive for scrapbooking).  Please let me know if you are coming by June 30 if possible.  Space is limited, so register soon!

The pictures below will give you an idea of what we are doing, but you will be able to arrange your pages to suit your own style and needs.  For example, my spring page at the bottom does not have to be an Easter page - that's just what I plan to use mine for!

Important note:  The Tea Party designer series paper (DSP) and the Patterns Prints DSP are both retiring as of June 30th.  If you love these DSP packs then you need to order some by then!  The tropical paper and accessories are all available through the end of August.

Tropical 2-page sample, using Island Oasis DSP

Patterns prints 2 samples, using DSP Patterns packs. You will make one page, in the color of your choice.  The black pieces are meant to show where photos would go... but then I liked how it looked!  Colors available: Perfect Plum, Old Olive (both shown above), Bashful Blue, So Saffron & Certainly Celery.

Spring page sample using Tea Party DSP

Scrap-A-Stack, May 14th

Here are the projects for Friday's SCRAP-A-Stack.  This is my very first one, so I'd love to hear what you think.  A few details:  each page layout shown below can be changed around.  In class you will receive all the pieces to make the pages, and you can change up the design to suit your needs - or copy my designs exactly.  The stamped parts are also customizable, of course! The first two pages come with two 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 photo mats that you can trim to fit the photos you plan to use.  Let me know if you can attend by the end of the day today, Wednesday, May 12.  Class fee is $30 (or $25 if you bring your own adhesive).

Sample 12x12 page using Bella Bleu DSP, Top Note die, Kraft taffeta ribbon, Stampin' Pastels, Not Quite Navy & Kraft card stock. Stamp sets used are Lovely Letters and Full Calendar.

Sample 12x12 page using Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, Island Floral die, silver brads, Accents & Elements Flower Fusion, Crushed Curry & Whisper White card stock.

Sample 12x12 page using Jackpot DSP, Photo Corner punch, Basic Black & Very Vanilla card stock. Stamp set is Jumble Alphabet.  This page was difficult to photograph, so the colors on the page are Basic Black, Real Red, So Saffron & Very Vanilla.

Technique Class this Friday!

Register to attend this technique class by April 28, end of day, so I have time to prepare for you.  Class fee is $20. We will be doing 3 different projects, all supplies included!  Contact me with questions or to sign up!

May Stamp-A-Stack Cards!

Here are our projects for May Stamp-A-Stack, on May 6th.  Register to attend no later than May 4th, so I have time to prepare for you.  Bring a new "stamp-a-stacker" to craft with us, and I'll take $5 off your $20 class fee!  Because all of these cards use versatile stamp sets, you can change any of them to another "theme" as needed.  Contact me with questions, or to REGISTER!  You will leave with 12 cards and envelopes, 4 of each design.
