Hello Friends~
Here we are, half way through June and nearing SUMMER and I'm ready to get back into a "normal" routine again. I appreciate your understanding with all that has been going on the last several months with the illness and passing of my Dad, when I put CTMH on the back burner, I'm grateful I can do that, and still have your support! Thanks to everyone continuing to place online orders, you truly have no idea what that means to me. Your sympathies and kindness have meant the world to me and our family during this trying time.
I don't want you to miss out on any of our monthly specials, so grab your favorite beverage and hang on...here we go! There is ALOT to catch up on, and I realize time is precious to everyone, choose your favorites and come to play! I'm going to put all the dates out there for you, I hope to see you soon!
Preserve the memories that matter most~ YOURS!
Julie

CLASS FEE: $19.95* - order #G1183 Grateful for You Cardmaking kit - view kit contents
*I also added a package of Gold Glitter Gems (#Z3312, $5.50) as I designed the cards shown, or bring coordinating gems from your stash (I find it holds the twine better than glue dot alone).
MUST BRING TO PARTICIPATE: 12" paper trimmer, adhesives (tape runner, 3D foam tape, mini glue dots), scissors, paper piercing tool, VersaMat (optional, highly recommended)
INKS: Charcoal, New England Ivy, Peach, Sapphire BLOCKS: 1x1, 1x3.5, 2x2, 2x3.5
2) THINKING OF YOU Cardmaking WYW Workshop - Come create 12 cards, 6 each of 2 designs or reverse the sentiments and get 3 each of 4 designs!
WHEN: (Choose Your Day) - Fri, 7/5 (9am-noon), Sat 7/6 (9am-noon), Sun 7/7 (1-4pm)
WHERE: Julie's StampNScrap Studio
RSVP by Friday, June 21st with order and payment
CLASS FEE: $20.95 - order #G1181 Thinking of You Cardmaking kit - view kit contents
*HINT: the instructions recommend using micro glue dots to adhere the loose sequins, I found using a liquid glue is much more effective, such as our new Dual-Tip Permanent Glue Pen or Liquid Glass with the Fine Tip Applicator.
MUST BRING TO PARTICIPATE: 12" paper trimmer, adhesives (tape runner, 3D foam tape, liquid adhesive as mentioned above, or glue dots), scissors, paper piercing tool, VersaMat (optional, highly recommended), WaterBrush-small round
INKS: Intense Black or Archival Black, Eggplant, New England Ivy, Sapphire
BLOCKS: 1x1, 1x3.5, 2x2, 3x3
3) TRUE LOVE Scrapbooking Workshop - Come create FOUR 2-page layouts using the jewel toned True Love paper suite.
*The WYW kit is very themed oriented to weddings, however, I wanted to be able to show this kit in a more versatile way (even though I did end up using it to scrapbook my nephews wedding). I did change the layouts completely from what is shown in the catalog with the WYW kit. Which also allows for the use of many Flip Flaps! Photo sizes are 4x6, 3x4 and 3x3.
Layouts are intentionally shown without embellishments, because once you add photos, these layouts can be customized to preserve your memories of any day! If you have wedding or anniversary pictures to scrapbook, I would highly recommend the True Love WYW Scrapbooking Kit, the Complements included in the kit are wedding themed. If you plan on scrapbooking other occasions or just everyday life, I would suggest purchasing the True Love Paper Pack. Either option will need the True Love Coordinating Cardstock.
WHEN: (Choose Your Day): Fri, 7/19 (9am-1pm) or (5-9pm), Sat, 7/20 (9am-1pm), Sun, 7/21 (1-5pm)
