"You and Me" Mini Albums (2) with Barb Carrico (CTMH)

Class: "You and Me" Mini Albums (2) with Barb
Date: Saturday, September 17, 2011
Time: 3:30 - 5:00pm
Class Fee: $40
Instructor: Barb Carrico, Close To My Heart

Can you believe it's September?? Now is the time to get a jump on your Holiday gifts... I have the perfect solution! Using Close To My Heart's 2011 National Scrapbooking Month Special called "You and Me"; 2 of the (now retired) My Creations 3 Ring Binders; and some extra cardstock... You will create these 2 albums that will make beautiful, and very memorable gifts for 2 of those special friend or family members on your list!

The "You and Me" kits come with the very beautiful "You and Me" Pattern Paper, gorgeous brown and cream striped ribbon, Dimensional Elements (chipboard), Mocha Opaques (Pearls) and an exclusive stamp set that you get to keep!

This is such an amazing deal, as the kits originally sold for $39.62 (including S/T) in May 2011! However, CTMH offered them again in June as a fundraiser for the Earthquake victims and dropped the price to $15.00 (plus S/T)... I decided to snap up a bunch of them because they are just gorgeous AND I wanted to offer a class using the kit! So this way I got to pass the savings on to you! I hope you love working with the kits, as much I do!

One of the albums is created in the green/brown color palette, and the 2nd one is created with the Smoothie (Peachy pink) and brown color palette! Shown above is a picture of the covers, and shown below are sample of a couple of the pages from both albums - you can see in the pictures, that they are very similar, but wait until you see them in person!

Please bring the following to class:

12" Cutter, precision scissors, 3 D Foam tape or dots, wet wipes for your fingers, and

LOTS and LOTS of strong adhesive like Tombow Permanent Mono Tape runner

This class is limited, so please sign up as soon as possible!

To sign up, please email Barb at meridots@aol.com or call her at 703-690-4160

Looking forward to see you all there!

Beginner Cricut Class - Includes Cartridge - With Carren

Class: Beginner Cricut Class
Date: Friday, September 16, 2011
Time: 7:00-9:00pm
Class Fee: $40.00
Instructor: Carren Crossley, Cropsplus@ourcropsplus.com

Does this sound like you: You want to have the latest and greatest supplies, so you bought a Cricut and some cartridges…but you've never used them. Are you intimidated by it? Not sure what all the buttons do? Do you avoid looking at it entirely??

We can help! Learn to expand your creativity and make good use of your Cricut! This is a BEGINNER class. We will review basics like: how each of the buttons function; how to care for your machine and mat; how different papers work in the machine and pressure/speed controls. Then we'll put our new skills to work by making four cards (even two envelopes!) using the Cricut.

We will be using the Cricut Sampler Cartridge. This excellent cartridge provides a sample from some of Cricut's most popular cartridges. And bonus: YOU KEEP THE CARTRIDGE! That's right - you keep the brand new cartridge to continue your Cricut education.

Supplies needed: Your own Cricut (we'll be working with the basics of the small Cricut or Cricut expression. Please bring your own.); a GOOD cutting mat; adhesive that works well for tiny areas; scissors. If you need a new mat, Crops Plus will be selling them at the crop for a discount ($4 for a 6x12 mat and $5 for a 12x12 mat) as well as the perfect glue pen. The class area will be wired for electricity.

This class is VERY limited - only 6 spots so each student can get specialized attention! To sign up, email Carren at Cropsplus@ourcropsplus.com
