February 5, 2012 Project Class

Shown above are the 2 projects we will be completing during our February 5, 2012 class.  The techniques will focus on dimensional flowers and layered images.  Hope everyone is having a great new year.  It sure has been busy for me and it is only Jan 8??!  Looking forward to seeing you in store or in class.  Stay well everyone! (PS I added the card pics on 2/3/2012.  See you on Superbowl Sunday!!)

January 8, 2012 Project class

I hope you like the January projects.  We are making a 1 page scrapbook page and a card.  The techniques we are covering are embossing cricut images.  UPDATE: Today, Jan 8, was a fun class.   I hope you are all continuing to have a good year.  Here are the completed project pictures.

Dec 4 or Dec 6 2011 Monthly Project

Hey, everyone, hope your plans for Thanksgiving and the holidays are going well.  I am going to post the projects for the Dec 4 or Dec 6 Monthly Project class.  The glass etching was included as a result of a special request, so if you have some project/technique you would like covered in a project class just let me know and I will try to add it to a future class.  In December we are doing a 1 page scrapbook page, an etched glass project, and a card.  Our featured techniques are vinyl templates and embossed cricut images to add more dimension to your projects.  Well stay well everyone and have an awesome Thanksgiving.

November 1 or 6, 2011 Project Class

 Hi everyone.  Today is an awesome day.  Beautiful sunshine, low humidity and perfect for outdoor activities.  I want to post pictures for the Nov. 1 or Nov. 6 Cricut Monthly Project class. The actual samples will be on display at the Oct 8 Open House at the store.  As always, feel free to change the color selections or images.  It is so much fun to see what you all create.  I was given a request to create a banner for the November class, which is shown at the top of this post.  I did embellish it with pleated rosettes and a punched edge border to each banner.

Some of you may not have the cartridges I used to create these projects - no worries - the pennant shape (I used sophisticated) can be create with your trimmer, the circle (I used accent essentials) and font (I used lyrical letters) can be from any cartridge in your cartridge inventory where these shapes are available. During the October class there were some who were working on layering and using their machine without a peripheral device (Gypsy).  I think it was a great opportunity to learn all sorts of techniques and options for your machine.  Also some students have requested the classes have the projects as optional and use the class time to focus on their own projects and seek assistance to become better at using their Cricut accessories such as Design Studio or Gypsy.   If you would prefer to work on your own project this is totally fine.  Also if you have something you would like to have covered in a future class just let me know I will try to make it happen.   Finally I am moving the date of the classes to Sunday afternoon per student request.  Hope you are all having a wonderful day and looking forward to seeing you soon.

October 2011 Projects

It looks like we will have sufficient students for our October class.  I am posting the project pictures and the original projects are posted in the store.  The layout is my interpretation of a Me and My Big Ideas project layout.  The card is my design entirely.

September 2011 project

Unfortunately we had insufficient students to hold the September class.  I repeated the sun flower vase and then created my interpretation of a Me and My Big Ideas Project layout.

August 2011 project

I repeated the August 2010 project plus added a vinyl template Yudu screened image on a bag.
