Altered Art/Mixed Media
Canvas Workshop with Lori McCausland
Date: February 23, 2013
Time: 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

If you’ve been thinking about giving mixed media/altered art a try, and LOVE classes filled with lots of techniques, then this is the class for you!
In this workshop you will work with acrylic paints, chipboard, cardboard, fabric, rub-ons, inks, stamps and more as you complete and 8 x 10 canvas titled…HOME is where Our STORY Begins…
Come on out and celebrate HOME, CREATIVITY, FUN, and LEARNING with Lori. Remember, Lori’s altered art/mixed media workshops can be “messy”, so be prepared
As always, Lori’s workshops are technique heavy and she will teach you unconventional ways to use various products in non-traditional ways.
Since this is a 5 hour workshop, there will be a lunch break.  Lunch will be on your own. There are several local places to get lunch near Ever After or you can bring your lunch with you.

Supplies needed for class:

• Heat Gun (everyone should have their own)
• Paper Trimmer
• Scissors
• Black Sharpie (thin tip)
• Black Archival Ink (Ranger’s Archival Ink or Staz-on works best)
• Quick drying liquid glue (Fabri-Tac, 3 in 1 Beacon’s or 450 quick dry adhesive works best)
• Glue Dots (large and small)
• Clear embossing inkpad (Ranger distress embossing, Versamark or Ranger Emboss-it works best)

This monthly event is chockful of inspiration and creativity from the mind of Cheri Villafranca. You’ll get a WeR Memory Keepers Stack Pack to make an amazing project plus a fab make-n-take using one of the industry’s newest tools.

Join Lori for another fantastic mixed media creation. You’ll love what you create!

Show the ones you love just how much they’re loved with a handmade Valentine’s card.

Graphic 45 Nutcracker Suite Chipboard Book OR Banner–YOU CHOOSE!
Saturday, December 8th
10-1

The base for this “Sweet” 8×8 book is heavy-duty chipboard and 7Gypsies Triptych House Board Kit. The pages of this darling book are filled and decorated using the fun papers and chipboard tags from Graphic 45′s Nutcracker Suite Holiday line. There are at least 20 different ribbons from May Arts. We all love embellishments and we will be making a few of our own using Stampendous Crystal embossing powder to add sparkle to the cute gingerbread boys (Notice the gingerbread boy in the chimney) and other pieces.
We will also add dimension and sparkle using Stampendous purple and black glitter glass. This product is so fun and easy to use! Other embellishments will include Magenta chipboard picket fence, Canvas Corp black e-flute paper (corrugated paper) and some charms to finish it up.  Perfect to keep or give as a gift. There are pockets and plenty of room for photos. $45.

Nutcracker Suite Banner

Using 7 Gypsies Banner and Triptych Board Kits as the base, you’ll begin to tell the classic story of the Nutcracker. Decorating the chipboard banner pieces with Graphic 45 Nutcracker Suite papers and Chipboard tags, this banner will hang as a Holiday favorite for many years. We will be adding sparkle and shine to chipboard tags using Stampendous Crystal embossing powder and Scrapbook Customs Glitter paper. Of course no class project is complete unless it has lots of May Arts ribbon, this banner has at least 12 different May Art ribbons. Charms and a resin heart from Blossom Bucket will complete this banner.
