June 3, 2012 Project Class

Ok, this never happens but I am actually preparing to start creating the June and July project today, March 18??!  Well it has been a bizzaro year so far, with the winter that wasn't, and therefore I shouldn't be so surprised.  I even took pictures today of my house with the windows open and tulips ready to bloom just so I can say yes it really happened on March 18, 2012.  Well, I'm ready to get started.  I think we will be using Pack Your Bags  and Plantin Schoolbook cartridges for June 3 monthly class.  We will work with the "end caps" creative feature on Plantin Schoolbook which should be fun.  Hope to post pictures of the projects later this week.  Hope everyone is having a fantastic Sunday!!

Update on March 19, 2012: posted the scrapbook page.  The photo seems kinda fuzzy so I will take another photo later this week and hopefully it will be better.  I will try to have the card posted by the end of this week.  Just a note -- I am continually impressed by how much content/variety there is on the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  Have a great week everyone.

Update on June 1, 2012: Posted the updated scrapbook page and the card.  Please note the card design is by Lisa at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in class this week.

May 6, 2012 Project Class

We will be creating a 1 page scrapbook page which is my interpretation of a design by Becca Rees at Monkey Doodle and my own creation for a view master card.  Updated on 3/18/2012 to add some pictures for the view master card.  As you turn the wheel, the picture changes - there are 4 different inserts.  Hope we have good attendance for this class, since I think it will be quite fun to create this card and page.  Stay well everyone!!!

April 15, 2012 Project Class

March 4, 2012 Project Class

It is hard to believe, but I actually have created the 1 page layout for the March 4 Monthly Project class.  The design layout is from Joy at Obsessed with Scrapbooking.  My color pallet was shades of green in honor of St. Paddy's day and a few other references, to be sure.  All the patterned papers were from the DCWV Lemon Flower Stack.  Winter has hit today, so what better activity than to scrap the afternoon away.  Hope you like this project.  There will be a card too.  Stay well everyone.

Updated on Feb 10, to add the double fold card project.  Per student request, I will send out the mat cut sizes prior to class so students can prepare, if desired, ahead of time.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in store or in class.  Fingers crossed for an early spring.

Updated on March 4, it was a really fun class today.  So nice to see everyone's creative interpretations of the layout and card style.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in store or the next project or other Cricut class.  Thank you for the opportunity to teach!!!

(PS I added the card pics on 2/3/2012.  See you on Superbowl Sunday!!)

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.
