KIT CLASS!

We have just teamed up with a company called "Quick Quotes"

and are participating in their "Kit of the Month" club.  Every month they will be sending us a sample of a project.  We will post it on our blog and will have a sample to look at in our Papercrafting store.  Sign up dates will vary.  We like this company's Kit of the Month idea, because they allow us to only order as many kits as we have participants.  So nobody loses! 

"Be your own kind of Beautiful"

 is the theme for these bright and cheery layouts. Say hello to spring by using Quick Quotes new "Live out Loud" paper line.  You will create a fun Spring Layout with brilliant orange, greens and blues. You'll have the chance to work with all new pearl ribbon, frosted embellishments, die cuts, jewels, color vellum and printed cardstock. In this class you will learn to give your pages a little extra dimension by layering and lifting butterfly wings from your page. Enjoy using QQ "Green with Envy" Powder Puff chalking Ink on many different mediums throughout this project including color vellum and frosted embellishments. Receive a green with envy powder puff chalk to take home with you! You will complete a total of four bright and cheerful layouts to add to your album.

OOOOOH!   So: When? Where? How?   

The class will happen at the store (Shanie's Gifts & Scrapbooking) on Sunday, May 15th from 1-5 pm (Bonus! Extra time to work on any project you'd like to bring!  We WILL have our table of complementary tools available, along with refreshments).  In order for us to pre-order your kit, we must know you are coming by Thursday, April 14th.  The cost is only $20, and needs to be in by Friday, April 15th.  What a great Mother's Day gift idea! (Mother's Day is the week before).  Make the project for her, or treat her to a day out with the gals!
