February/March Class Schedule

For those of you that have been with me for a while, do you remember the Christmas shadowbox card we did by hand  in 2011. Well here we go again only I took the written tutorial and made it a silhouette file so we now have nice even folds for our accordian sides. This went together so nicely you will be pleased. It can be customized for any occasion. 

Coming up this weekend February 14th is the 3d snowmen and the Flip Flap mini album

 

this mini album that could easily be used as a travel album, friendship album, anything really.  I had seen directions on how to hand cut this but you know me........I made it into a silhouette file for class

Silhouette Cameo Meets Cricut Explore...CTMH Artfully Sent Valentine Card

I like having both the Silhouette Cameo and the Cricut Explore to play with. I did the mouse PNC with my Silhouette and the card from CTMH Artfully Sent. The best part was doing the scoring with the explore while cutting the card. If you would like to order the CTMH Artfully Sent which is a great cartridge for making quick comlete cards, or any of the other Cricut collections just click the link.

September/October Class Schedule

3D ornaments

Sorry for the delay in posting, back to school & back to dance makes for a busy couple of weeks. When you come into the store next please notice on the front wall of the store we have project samples as well. We have traded the back wall space for the front in hopes to drive more business to the classroom. Also unless you are taking the class please do not take photo's of my work for you to figure out how to make it on your own. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but I spend alot of my time and my money to bring you these projects and teaching these classes is how I make my living to help support my family.
