Felting is back!

                                                     

You asked for it....we plan to deliver. On Saturday, 2/22, we will be having a needle felting class. We will be making cute little owls along with a companion card. Come try out this unique craft. If you have tried this before, come learn new technique tips to make your end product pleasing.

AT&T. Altered Artists

Just a quick reminder that the next Altered Arts Workshop is on Sunday 2/23. The item is large puzzle pieces. If you do not have yours, be sure to stop by the store and pick some up!

I hate winter!

Yeah, this is how I feel, too. But on the bright side, the Mixed Media Madness retreat is only 6 weeks away! Can't wait!

Celebrate Spring with DeNami stamps

Yes, it’s still winter but DeNami released their new stamps in early January and they just scream Springtime! 

I made several cards with this new release and using a couple of die cutting techniques to make these cards ‘swing’ into Spring. 

We’ll also be utilizing a new die cut set from Sizzix that will make these cards easy to cut and assemble but it will look like you spent hours creating them.

I'm teaching this class at Kept Creations in Whitman, MA Sunday, February 9th from 1-3pm. Click on this link for the DeNami class or class the store to sign up 781-447-4010.

Have you heard the news?

News flash!!!!! Artist-crafter guest instructor Kathie Deluca has agreed to join the team for our upcoming Mixed Media Madness Retreat! If you haven't seen Kathie's work, let me tell you it is yummy!  Samples will be in the store soon. Mandy has already dropped off two altered book samples that you need to see to believe. And- I am not telling just yet- but Catherine is cooking up some amazing stuff for her class. 

If you haven't signed up yet, you might want to jump on this now. Space is limited and filling fast. The retreat will be at John Carver inn, Plymouth. Check them out on-line... The rooms look gorgeous. And there is a spa (which I plan to squeeze in for sure). Rumor has it that there will be some cool goodies and surprises. 

March is such a dreary month, but this year I am actually looking forward to it. So, mark your calendars and reserve your spot. March 21-23. Hope to see you there!

A few spots left!

Hi there busy Christmas shoppers.  Got all your cards done, presents wrapped, baking???  Hah! neither have I!  So what do you say we get together and commiserate on 12/18 for my Cascading Box class and we'll have a merry time telling one another what we HAVE NOT accomplished for Christmas.  Misery loves company, so let's be miserable together!  I'll even try and persuade My Man to bake something.  Imagine, noshing and crafting -- doesn't get any better than that.  Give Kim a call and join us.  See you there!
