Stamp Some Smiles

Holiday mini scrapbook class info

I know that it is way too early to talk about Christmas, but when you are making gifts it is the perfect time to start celebrating the Holiday Season,and  I have created a class for you!  Come and create a mini scrapbook to capture your favorite holiday memories. 

This unique scrapbook is a 6″ x 8″ mini scrapbook album that has room for various size pictures and some journaling. 

It will make a wonderful gift for a friend or family member.  Or choose to keep the album for yourself!  You can add photos and journaling once you get home...or after the holidays.  It's not your typical RED and GREEN colors, so you can custom design the album for any occassion!

I find that this is the perfect time of year to offer a scrapbooking class because everyone is looking for affordable, yet unique Christmas ideas for all those hard-to-shop for people in our lives – parents, grandparents, long-distance relatives. Who wouldn’t love this little album filled with the gift of memories?  Dates and times for this class are listed below.  Let me know if you are interested in attending so I can make a kit for you.  Class fee is $10 due on the day of the class.  Pre-paid Kit fee is $15.  (for a total of $25)

Would you love to make the album but can't find the time to come to class? For just $20 you can get the kit and I will email instructions to you!  You must see this in person to appreciate just how nice it is, so be sure to check it out when you are at my October Stamp Camp.  Sign ups and pre-payments due by October 17th.

This is my dad, or Papa-Claus as the kids like to call him, no matter how old they get they still sit on his lap every year ever since the only grandchildren where Bobby, Mat, and Kyle.  I have proof that my kids are still into it, want to see?

LOL, okay, I can't get too close to these pics or my kids will be mortified, this was from last Christmas, and believe me, they all have huge smiles on their faces.  I am sure you have fantastic memories you could put in this book too!  I hope you can join me this month!
 

Fun and Friendship at Class

I love classes.  They are limited in size so that I have time to spend with each person.  We fit at one table, and get to spread out and have some messy fun...which is so nice for everyone....I can be close to my friends and I get to really give instructions and teach... which is fun for me.  This class was no exception, it was so much fun to have that time together.  The purses came out great, and so did the cards. I got some great photos of the girls, and Jake was right there with us so I snapped him too.  He is such a ladies man!  His eyes came out yellow because it was night time and the light is so bad, I just am not good at taking indoor pictures at night.  I tried to use the red eye reducer but it is for red eye ... not yellow eye...LOL!  Here is a link to the gallery, enjoy the pictures.  I hope to get to spend time with YOU at my next class!  April's Class and MORE class photos

 

 

 

 

 

Class for Spring Cards and Purse

  Remember the sneak peek?

Well here is the rest of that project...it's going to be a Class held on Friday night, April 24th.

 This "Purse" holds cards inside and in the front pocket we will put an address book and a perpetual calendar to keep track of birthdays in.  There is also a magnetic clasp to keep your card on the fridge ready to be put in the mail at the right time.  What a great way to keep track of all the important people in your life! 

Sending one of these cards will show them just how special they are to you. 

A friend of mine bought a tutorial for making this Purse box from Becky Roberts, and then taught me how to make it.  I really love it, I put a twist on the cards that go with the box (of course, you know me...just got to add my own style) and I am so in love with this new set of mine!  Are you interested in attending? 

There is a Kit Fee and a Class fee.  The Kit includes enough Parisian Breeze Designer paper to make more cards at home! Ribbon, Corduroy button and other embellishments, print out of address book and birthday calendar, and instruction from me.  The class fee is usually ten dollars but is priced at half the cost! (Only $5) for a Total of: $25  You MUST pre-register and pay the kit fee by April 10th.
