A little play with a new tool!!!....

My friend Donna at The Paper Cutters sent me a link this morning to  YouTube on using the We r Memory keepers Fuse tool. I hunted this tool down weeks and weeks ago and I briefly cracked the packaging to test it. I took a few step by step pics to give you some idea on how I used the Fuse to come up with the shaker element for this card....

LOVE Doodlebug!!!.....

When I got to the store last week Doodlebug Paper was in.....if you didn't already know Doodlebug is one of my all time favorite paper companies!.....I did a li'l happy dance in my head....I wait....not very patiently....every year for their Halloween and Christmas collections to come out...Easter too now I come to think about it!!! So, I scooped me up an armful of this years papers and this is what I came up with, two classes one Halloween and the other Christmas. They both use the same folds,and that little treat box is one sheet of card stock just folded up!!! Just by changing up the papers you can get a whole different look! The Halloween class will be October 12th and the Christmas class will be October 26th, both classes will be the usual 10:30 - 1:30. The samples are already in the store, give Scraps of Love in Peoria a call if you'd like to come join in the fun of putting these happies together!...

....Yet another NOVEMBER class

Fourth and final class for NOVEMBER. This my Letters From The North Pole mini album featuring my favorite li'l group of reindeer! This little mini has it all, wish lists, pockets with tags for photos or journaling, a recipe for sugar cookies.....but most of all it has 12 envelopes that contain a little letter from the Head Elf, the 9 Reindeer, Mrs Claus and one from the man himself Santa Claus. I loved putting this happy together. You'll be putting this album together from scratch cover to cover, a little patience, lot of tape and glue and a lot of FUN!!! Monday 30th November 10:30 - 2:00 The sample is already in the store, pop in and check it out! Call Scraps of Love in Peoria to reserve your class spot or kit.....

....More Classes!

Classes two and three for NOVEMBER....first is a set of Cracker shaped Boxes inside their own individual boxes at the bottom of which is space for a gift card. The cracker box opens into two pieces so you can fill it with goodies and access them without having to rip the box. You get to make all four boxes. Second is a 'Dear Santa' Banner, just a little happy to hang up amongst your Holiday decorations....there's a little quote attached to centre square that reads 'Dear Santa I really have been nice' on one side and 'Dear Santa uh-oh I've been a little naughty' on the other.....just in case your little ones need a little reminder!!!...Both classes are on Monday November 16th, the Cracker Boxes are 10:30 - 1:30 and the Dear Santa Banner will be from 2:00 -5:00. The samples are already in the store, go check them out or give Scraps of Love in Peoria a call to secure your class place or kit!....

Jump ahead....NOVEMBER classes!!!

My first class for NOVEMBER is one that I've given you a couple of sneaky peaks at, it's my Holiday Advent Wreath. The idea is you put little happies inside the 24 boxes and put them on the wreath, then everyday you take off a box and replace it with an ornament. The wreath is never left empty and you get a goodie from your little box that day!....what could make you happier!?! My only problem is deciding which ornament to put on first!!!....You supply the wreath however, you could do this on a tree, make it into a banner, it has many possibilities!!! Monday NOVEMBER 2nd 10:30 - 2:00 at Scraps of Love in Peoria, just bring a little patience and a lot of glue!!!!! The sample is now in the store...along with a few others I'll be showing you over the next few days....go take a look see, it's so much better in person!.....

September Birthdays.....

Here are pictures of my second class in September at Scraps of Love in Peoria. I have used the My Favorite Things blueprints 26 set. I love this set, MFT make it a breeze to come up with different cards using these dies! I did use one other die from MFT, the Pop Up Happy Birthday, I think I'll be using these dies often in the future! Class is Monday September 28th, usual time 10:30 - 1:30, give the store a call for a spot in class or a kit if you can't make it there on the day....

Fall has started to arrive......at least at the scrapbook store it has!!!...

We're well into August and the Fall paper lines are starting to hit the store. I used the new Carta Bella Fall Blessings collection for this class....I just LOVE the colors! Now all I'm waiting for is Halloween and Christmas lines to start arriving.....and us with an Excessive Heat Warning here in Arizona!! I am SO ready for a cool down!!!!.....Monday September 14th 10:30 - 1:30 call Scraps of Love in Peoria  to reserve your spot in class or kit....
