Classes

I have had some folks asking "Just what kind of classes do you do every month?" Well every month I am sumwhat predictable.....

Here are the classes available EVERY month....

Technique Class: $20 we do 4 (YES FOUR) brand new techniques. You make a card w/ envelope and a "Technique" page w/ page protector and instructions. You can put these in a brag book if you like or ribbon them together. Two classes per month, same class. One on a sunday afternoon, one on a Tuesday evening.

BIG Shot Class: $20, we do 4 projects. 2 cards and 2 Three Demensional items. We use the Big shot for all four projects. You do NOT need to own a Big Shot to come. This class date seems to change from month to month, it does not have a permanent day. But it is once a month.

WOW Class: Class fee depends on the stamp set. This is a once a month class. The featured stamp set is INCLUDED in the class fee. You choose clear or mounted. You must PRE-ORDER. The night of the class you come and pick up your stamp set and make FREE CARDS with it. These are usually over the top WOW type cards. Work at your own pace type class. Usually 6-9 pm on a Friday evening.

20 for $20 card class: Usually $20. Occassionaly more if there is product included in the class (not very often) Come make 4 cards of each of 5 styles. Envelopes are included. BRing a SMALL snack to pass. I make the main dish. Have room for 35-40 people per night. This is the last weekend of the month. Friday from 7-11p and Saturday from 3-7 pm. FUN FUN FUN.

Scrapbook Night: Class fee is $10-$20. I design and cut for this class. You come and stamp and put together a 2 page spread and scrapbook would love to have with in its cover. You can choose one packet or two. (Make a book for a friend or relative at the same time)

My stamp room easily holds 40 people and we have TONS of toys to play with. Dont worry if its stormy weather, we have a generator that will keep the lights on too! Come and join us for the fun.

Occassionally I throw in something new for a class if I have a free weekend day. This month we did a "Simply Adorned" Charm Class. The participants paid $20 for the class. They recieved the 1" x 1 1/4" charm and got to make TONS of inserts for FREE! We had a blast and we all have a great pendant to wear with any outfit!

If you would like to get on my mailing list for class invitations, please email me at lkrauss828@prodigy.net and I will make sure you are on it.

Happy Sunday, I have to go clean the stamp room and get ready for Tuesday Technique Class. Today is also grocery day and MIS is busy with Naascar this weekend....maybe I will go to a different grocery store today......

All Occassion Card Class for May

Fun was had by all on Friday and Saturday. Everyone loved the cards we made. We even used
some of the new "Clear Stamps".

We had a guest on Friday night for card class. My fellow demonstrator and friend, Donna Shaffer from Temperance, MI. It was a long and rainy drive to my house. But a good time was shared. So glad she was able to come out. Maybe next time she can bring her sister Ruth too.

Congratulations Scott

Congratulations Scott!! My nephew is headed off to play soccer this fall for Pittsburg! What an accomplishment. Here is the idea I came up with for his gradution party invites. The first picture is orange and black....those are the high school colors where he is graduating from Then on the inside, Pittsburg is gold and blue so .....he is my rendition. Hope his mom (Lyn) likes them. We can actually do all the personalized printing for the inside on the computer before we cut the paper and that will AWESOME!!
