Happy Summer everyone.  Can't believe the first month is over and July is next.  It was a good month and I had a great time at girls camp.  I will be scheduling things a little differently for the Creative Classes for this month.  July 26th will be workshop day and that is when you can come and make the SuperHero pages and cards.  Another option is to come and do the beautiful Pemberley Card kit (10 cards for $10.44)  Choose a time that is good for you and come at your convenience.  There are some gals coming at 12:30 and early evening is another spot.  Just let me know.  I know some people have labeled these kids pages, but the super hero page has the message from the July stamp of the month "Imagine the Possiblities". (restamped the message using the archival black ink and it pops much better now...why didn't I use that ink before now...so cool!!!) Anyway, that message can apply to any hero in your life or person with potential to become someone's hero.  The second layout is perfect for July...Red, White and Blue with stars.  You can do the message "Live out Loud" from the Stamp of the month set, or 4th of July.  We added a small white star layer to brighten it up a bit. Those black photo mats will really make the photos pop!  We also reworked the cards to be less super-hero ish and more versatile too.  I am excited to add my son's photos to the first layout.  He and his friend wore the red capes and whitey-tighties over their shorts pretending to be Captain Underpants.  Perfect for a 5 year old.  Just glad I got photos, because my boys never wear capes around the house anymore....

So come on July 26th for a few hours of creative fun.  Any time (ok, within reason)
Cost of this kit:  $17 for supplies and it comes to $19.51 with the tax and shipping added in.  Sweet.
                            You will have some of the cool comic paper left for your own future projects.

If you haven't done any of the creative classes, remember you can join in any time.
Also, just have to note that Jen Mahan is the photographer for our team and WOW is she great!!!

June is here and that is fun for me..... because that means it is summer vacation and I don't work at the school in the summertime.  So I should have more time to have fun doing Studio J layouts and creating in my basement happy place.  Between girls camp and Hill Cumorah, it will fly by so so quickly.  I already feel cheated a bit because  I have lots of projects I want to do and afraid I don't have enough time.  But, it will be fun!!!!

The nice thing about the summer break is that I can do some of my creative classes during the day.  Don't forget to get photos on your pages and bring them back next time you come for free product.

Here is June's schedule for the ever popular Pemberley paper:
     Tuesday, June 12 at 7:00 in the evening
     Thursday, June 14 at 12:00 noon or at 7:00 in the evening
     Saturday, June 16 at 10:00 in the morning

For July, you can come anytime on the 26th and that is the only day I will be doing workshops.  The super hero kit is so fun, you won't want to miss out.  Then in August we will feature fantastic Footloose which was our biggest jaw-dropper at Expo...Everyone LOVED this kit and these pages!!!!!!!!!

Definitely sign up soon for classes.  I know how crazy summer can be, so if none of these times work out, consider getting the kit and assembling at home on your own.  I can have things pre-cut (as I do for everyone) and pre-stamped ready to go. You can look at the photos on my blog to compete your pages and cards beautifully.


CARD OPTION:  I have been figuring out what will work out for my friends who like to do cards and not scrapbook pages and I think this option will work well.  You will do the pictured cards but instead of one of each of the cards you will do duplicates...2 of each card.  So you will come and prep for all  cards and assemble the other set to finish at home.  If you have time to finish at my home in the 2 hours, great, if not you will have everything you need to get them done at home.  If you get all cards finished by next month you can get in on the same reward option like the scrapbookers have by putting photos on their pages.  You will be able to order 1/2 pack of paper, the ribbon and 1/2 package of accessories.  The cost with tax and ship is $10.44.  

May: Florentine Creative Class

Our monthly Creative Classes are beautifully designed so you can come, create and finish layouts. How great to get 2 layouts done per month if you attend regularly! You will make these 2 double 12x12 page layouts and a minimum of 4 cards.  I will have paper cut for the 4 cards, but the 3x3 tags you can do on your own.  If you come back next month with photos on your pages I have free product for you to choose from.  Love it!  Sign up to attend a class to make the layouts using our stamps/inks and receive personal instruction.   Classes take about 2 hours to complete the layouts, or if you are a fast finisher, you may be able to get the cards done too.  If you get the stamping done at the class, it is easy to assemble the cards at home.

You supply all adhesive and complete the cards on your own. Pre-pay to attend the Workshop in your Area OR you can pre-order a Kit to be shipped to your door.  Just add $5 extra to pay for shipping to you.

Florentine Class / Kit will contain: -

    Paper Pack $9.95

    Extra CS    $1.50    (includes Art Philosophy pre-cuts)

GETTING STARTED....

I have been reading other people's blogs for awhile and I enjoy it.  You would think with my shelves of scrapbooks and my passion for this hobby, I would have started blogging a long time ago.  As I have done more scrapbooking with Studio J (Close to my Heart's incredible online program) I am getting more into the digi world and decided to jump in and blog too.  I am sure to continue my classic scrapbooking, but the whole blog thing makes sense too.  So here I go.  I am going to share things about the things I love, not just scrapbooking and stamping projects. To start with, I will share a Studio J layout I did.  My kids surprised us at Christmas with some fun photos that they secretly had taken.  Happily I have the files for the photos.  They had so much fun getting the photos done and framing them.  I have had so much fun putting them onto pages.  Now they all have copies of the photos and the pages are done.  Love it!!!!  Aren't they a good looking group?
