Glittery springtime fabric photo banner

What are you doing next Sunday? 

 Have you heard about our new home decor classes?  Well round two is coming up and you don't want to miss out on the darling glittery springtime fabric photo banner.  

It is coming up this Sunday, May 22nd, and being taught by the very talented Alicia Kazsuk.

Here’s a fresh twist on home photo display! With a little bit of texture and a whole lot of sparkle, this lovely photo banner combines black and white photos, fun chipboard shapes, burlap, ribbon and even tulle. It would be stunning draped across a window, over a fireplace or bookshelf, or even in a child’s room. Or what a great wedding gift, grandparent gift, or even “best friend” gift! 

Join mixed media artist Alicia Kazsuk as we create this versatile and unique piece. We’ll learn some new techniques, play with Luminarte and even use the hot new SewEasy tool! $40

Oh all the lucky flowers everywhere!!!!!

 We will be using new My Mind’s papers from their new Lime Twist line.  We will be using fabric, stickles, glitter, glimmer mist and of course my favorite New Sew Easy Tool.  There are some very cool new sewing piercers that were recently releases.  They are lots of fun and great to stitch with.  We will also be using the We R Memory Keepers Cutting system.  If you have never used this system I hope you can join me in trying it out.  It is super easy and great to have in your scrapbooking collection.  

Hope you can join me for some more card making fun. $25.

This class will also be taught on May 28th at 10am, since it is so popular!
