Kathy is getting organized and wanted to share the before. Good for you Kathy to reveal how we really live, which generated a posted comment by an anonymous stamper...!
I have never been happier to see such a sight! That is exactly what my stamp room looks like. My sewing room is slightly better. I say genius's at work!!

Weekend in Review

Our weekend of fun has concluded at the Shoppe, but just want to report little snipits of what went on (in case you missed it!). At Sherry's 2nd Copic Club of the year in the technique class they learned how to color with interest. As Sherry reported, while you can plain 'ole color with Copics, the part that makes it interesting is when you combine blending, color layering and lighting. The focus was on lighting from the front, side, top and bottom. All the class participants were "totally" getting it by the time the hour had passed!

Next, Sherry's Colorbox technique class was to learn about Koh I Noor pencils and how they react with Colorbox ink. Coloring techniques with Prismacolor and Gamsol, as well as three special card folds were taught. Everyone's favorite was the Sympathy card.

Onto Sunday with Lyn's newly revised "Tin" Luggage Ensemble and mini Bind-It-All book class. We covered a lot in 2-1/2 hours! Literally, we covered the hinged tin inside and out, we covered our mini book pages and then decorated the pages once they were bound with the O-wires. Everyone had good laughs over me struggling to remember how to operate my Bind-It-All. Thankfully, I practiced on scrap papers before I ruined anyone's book...well, there was that one page of Barb's I wrecked, but that was quickly fixed with new.

FRIDAY SNIPS

Yay! The weekend is here and there’s lots happening at the Shoppe starting today with Kathy & Friends morning Crop at 9:30 am. She’s created a LO with Jenni Bowlin papers (my personal fav!). Wonder what goody Judy baked? It's a Never Ending Chocolate Cake!

Saturday is a-buzzin’ with Sherry’s Copic Club (remember, anyone can jump into this quarterly technique session) at 11:00 a.m. and then another technique class Colorbox and Beyond at 12:30 p.m. If you love Colorbox Chalk Inks and regular Colorbox inks, find out how to mix them with Prisma Color Pencils to make really poppin’ images!

Sunday is Webster’s Pages Lullabye Lane Luggage Ensemble with Lyn at 1:00 p.m. Another Lynnie’s Mini class where you’ll learn all sorts of sweet assemblage techniques. If you haven’t used your Bind-It-All in awhile, this is a great refresher class.

Even if you’re not signed up for a class, stop in and let us help you in your creative quest this weekend! Check out Thrifty Time with new consignment items (stamps!). If you love glitter (who doesn’t), we have new 2-1/2” glitter letters in silver, acqua, pink, red and gold at 25 cents each that are going fast!
