Have you ever wondered what to do with all those wonderful scraps of cardstock or patterned papers and embellishments you purchased ~ just because?
Well, we want you to search your scrapping stash, then come and hang out with us in our cropping area for some creative fun. We will be using the sketches from the Scrapbook & Cards Today ~ Project 12 to create a double layout each and every month.
To complete each layout you will be given a detailed list of supplies needed & a Project 12 page map. You can purchase the papers and embellishments of your choice or better yet - use your own scrappy stash!
This way, the projects will always be with products of your own taste and it helps you use products you already own. You will finish class with a unique project that is just your style to everyone else in class. You will learn some fun techniques too. You can stretch your supplies and your dollar by using your supplies to create a fabulous ablum.
These classes are great for every level of scrapbooker! Beginners will learn new techniques, paper combination, photo placement, as well as learning how versatile and useful sketches are. Advanced scrappers get to use their abundant stashes, be inspired to get more pages done and everyone learns how to make their products go farther and enjoy a great social night out! Please note that only the Page Map sketch will be posted as an image because each page will be very different. Sketchs are sometimes in monthly themes - you can follow the themes if you like.

Quilling Classes

Have you ever looked at those embellishments created by rolled paper that is called "quilling" and wondered who has the patience and how do you do that? Now is your chance. "Paper quilling (also known as paper filigree) is based on the technique of rolling narrow strips of paper into coils which are then arranged to form a decorative pattern. This form of art originated in England and has been practised for ma ny centuries. In Europe, it was first used as decorations in churches and on many religious items until the late nineteenth century. Nowadays paper quilling has become a hobby for people of all ages around the world. Paper quilling is easy to learn and the best thing about it is, you only need a few items to get started with this great activity. If you enjoy doing paper crafts and making your own creative handicrafts but have never done paper quilling before, why not give this craft a go? Who knows, one day you might be the best paper quilling designer in the world."
