January Man class and February Stamp-A-Stack

In January, I held my first ever Man Class!  My hubby entitled it "Man Up! Stamp Up!".  We had 14 guys come out and make Valentine cards for their wives.  It was interesting to see how excited and focused they were on making their cards.  They made a cool spinner card (see picture below).  I'm sure their wives were very impressed.

In February, the ladies got together for our monthly Stamp-A-Stack where we made Valentine cards (the same one the men made) and birthday cards. 

 

 

I had so much fun with the different groups of people.  I can't wait until the next one!

December Stamp-A-Stack

December was a busy month for most people.  It was probably filled with lots of food, shopping, and
parties.  It was nice to be able to take some time out to create these fun cards and tags.  Here are pictures of what we made at our December Stamp-A-Stack:

 

 

 

 Hope your Christmas was wonderful!

Back Again

Hi Friends,

Our next one will be Saturday, November 9th from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM in San Ramon. $10 for 6 cards and envelopes plus get a free holiday catalog!

May Scrapbook Class

I began scrapbooking a couple of years ago. I've found it to be quite relaxing. It's a wonderful opportunity to organize all the memories of the year.

Scrapbooking can seem somewhat daunting at first. How do you fill up all that space? How do you organize everything? I think this is one of those things that is actually easier than it looks.

To illustrate that point and to share the love I have for scrapbooking, I held a "Scrapbook for Beginners" class a couple of weeks ago. I demonstrated how a 6"x6" page can made into an 8 1/2"x11" page. Then, that 8 1/2"x11" page can be made into a 12"x12" page. We did a layout that could accomodate up to 4 pictures.

Stamps: Fast and Fabulous, Broadsheet Alphabet
Paper: Elegant Soiree Designer Paper Series, Crumb Cake cardstock, Baja Breeze cardstock, Very Vanilla cardstock
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic Stampin' Pad, Regal Rose Classic Stampin' Pad
Accessories: Big Shot, Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Very Vanilla 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamping Sponges, Stampin' Dimensionals, Modern Label Extra-Large

There is a cost to attend classes, but the fee is waived with a minimum purchase. Let me know if you would be interested in attending a class in the future!
