HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU!

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE FOR
OUR GIFT TO YOU!

*****************************************************************

CHALLENGE


We had only 3 entries in the contest, but they were all great!
Here they are:



This layout was done by
Andrea R.



Next is a Hybrid layout. It is a digital layout that has additional embellishments added to it. Notice the flower an star shape, as well as the bulldog clip. They are all paper and were cut from a second copy of the digital layout, then popped up. The Stickles and pink rhinestones give this page a really beautiful effect.




Great work Janel!







Now, remember that the contest winner
was
chosen by a drawing. Although any
of these
could have won based on the
beauty of the
project, we actually had
Katie, a customer,
draw a name
from the basket.



This card was designed by our winner. Sharon S.

Congratulations Sharon!
Stop in to shop anytime. You have
$25 in store credit
to use for your shopping.
***********************************************************
I wonder if she will get some of the new
TERESA COLLINS PAPER AND EMBELLISHMENTS
that came in yesterday? It is BEAUTIFUL!

Don't forget to print your coupon
and bring it in before it expires.

DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING 101

Ever wanted to try digital scrapping? This is your chance!

A new series of classes begins this Saturday,
February 13, at 10:30.

We have a series of 4 classes using Photoshop Elements or Photoshop.
You must take 101 first, but after that you can take the other three in any order. The classes are taught once a month and we begin a new series every 4 months.

Our instructor, Janel, is awesome! Her classes are well organized and she provides handouts so you can take notes as you go along and then have all the info available when you are at home practicing the skills you have learned. Even if you just want to know more about using PSE but do not want to use it for scrapping, this is a great course. The program comes in handy for all sorts of tasks, making signs, cards, and so many other projects.

If you would like more information about the class or would like to sign up, call 317-865-1995.

Randi Richardson's Awesome Artistic Cards


DON'T MISS THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY!


Randi Richardson will be coming to the shop to teach two classes for us. Her cards are absolutely beautiful! You will learn lots of new techniques and leave with skills you can use in your card making or scrapbooking in addition to 3 incredible cards from each class.


Here are the cards Randi will be teaching on Friday and Saturday, February 19 and 20 at 10:30 a.m.




Get Creative with Embossing Paste--If it's been a while since you've used your brass stencils, or you only use them to create dry embossed images, join us and stretch your imagination. Participants in this class will work on both fabric and paper to create paste embossed images that are glittered, leafed and custom colored. Please bring a palette knife, favorite small to medium brass stencils (optional), and your regular stamping suitcase.

********************************
On Friday and Saturday, February 19 and 20 at 1:30 p.m. she will be teaching these three cards.



Paper Applique--Paper applique is borrowed from quilters. But no sewing is required. And if you've wondered how to achieve light images on dark surfaces, join us to learn the secret. Remember to bring your favorite detail scissors along with the rest of your stamping suitcase.

Each class is $20 and must be prepaid. Call right away to reserve your spot for these awesome cards.
