ten seconds studio class

here is christy at the demo. she is letting these ladies play with the different molds and giving them tons of ideas of how to get the most out of this metal.

we had a blast at the ten seconds studio class. this metal is absolutely amazing. you can do so much with it. in the class we used the molds to make some amazing embellishments. with this metal you can:
getting started in the class.
it is amazing stuff.
using the paper stump and mold to get the pattern on the metal.
  • emboss it
  • sand it
  • use alcohol inks (which will blend with the color of the metal)
  • use chalk inks on it
  • wrinkle it
  • die cut it

there are so many ways to make this metal fit your project and to truly make it yours.


be proud of these two. these are their first ever scrapbook pages. they will use the metal in all their various altered art projects.
if this looks like fun and you missed the class don't worry, when i have had time to play and get to really know the ins and outs i will teach another class. it definitely is something you will want to try.
enjoy.

its graduation time

it is hard to believe that it is graduation time again. we have our first graduation line in.

along with the graduation is marching band.

kensington garden is one of my favorite lines. i really like how they mixed the reds with the blues and greens. maybe it is because i like blues so much. it is flowered without being super girly. i can use this with my boys.








enjoy,

Coaster Class March 28 (2-4)



In this class you will be making four marble coaster tiles. Each tile is finished to be water resistant do the images you choose to stamp will be saved. You will also be finishing the bottom so they won't slide or scratch your surface. Call the store to reserve you a spot for this class. Pay $17 and leave with four really great coasters!

backyard fun

this week we have the backyard series from american crafts. this line of 24 patterned papers is so versatile. you could do easter, spring, rainy days play, bugs, and so much more. these fun papers will definitely get you in the mood for spring if you are not there already. they have fun, vibrant, springy colors. here is a small sampling of the papers.
in my humble opinion the best part of this line is the flair (but that could be because of the obsession i have with flair that some of you know about). stickers and rubons finish out the embellishments for this line.
one of the things that was most asked for was thickers. you asked and i ordered. there are the 2 colors of the shapes you see below (i couldn't get a colored picture). i also ordered fonts and tons of them 9 fonts anywhere from 1-3 colors in each font. colors are: pink, red, green, black, yellow, baby blue, green and white. styles are foam, chipboard, glittered, puffy (my favorite), and vinyl. if you can't find one you like then it is not made. hehe.
enjoy,
