Have you ever looked at a new paper line and thought to yourself "Where do I start?" Do you buy only kits because you know that the papers already match and you don't have to think about it? Would you like to learn how to expand the use of your current stash AND shop smarter?

This class will teach you all that! We will go over basic design principles that will show you how to use patterned papers and designs within a collection so that your pages are pleasing to the eye. Also, how to mix and match papers from different collections so you don't have to buy whole kits when you only like a few papers! This will open up a world of possibilities for you! 

We will learn all these design principles and then using your new-found skills, and using provided page maps, you will put together the foundation for starting two layouts. 

You will receive FOUR full kits. 2- 12x12 paper packs, one 6x6 paper pack and one Project Life Value Kit. That's $45 in product!  So that you can continue to experiment and make cards and layouts. 

Class size is limited to 8, so if you are interested, register now!

Class Fee: $20
Instructor: Barb Carrico from Close to my Heart!To sign up for this class, please email Barb at meridots@aol.com


Pictures don't do this very pretty Medallion (aka Lollies, rosettes and etc) Tree justice, but I promise this tree is something you will love having in your home, or gifting to your family and/or friends this Holiday Season...  They are not hard to make, although a bit time consuming, AND totally worth it! You will probably be making more than this one! The dimensions of this tree are 14" tall and approx. 5" wide.

These trees are cut from the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge, and I will have them all precut for you, including the snowflakes that you will be decorating this tree with. The base of the tree is a silver votive candle cup with a silver and rhinestone snowflake on both sides! This tree can be enjoyed from all sides!

All you need to bring is a low temp. (to save your fingers) glue gun and 5-6 glue sticks, a bottle of Liquid Glass or something similar, a 12"+ trimmer and scissors... I will have everything else you need! I am not sure we will get it 100% done in class - however, it shouldn't take much longer, since I am prepping everything for you in advance!

I will only be prepping a limited number of these kits, so if you are interested, please sign up ASAP! To sign up for this class, please email Barb at meridots@aol.com

The first is the Cricut Craft Room. The free Cricut Craft Room^® online design software makes it easy to design and create projects with your Cricut^® machine. Simply select a Cricut^® image you own and drag and drop it on the virtual cutting mat. Then size, slant, rotate, weld, or flip images to create the perfect project. When you're finished, connect your Cricut^® machine to your computer with a USB cable so you can cut what you've designed. You can also get inspiration! Click through all the Cricut images available on ANY cartridge whether you own it or not. Or get your projects started with the ideas, detailed instructions, and cut files in the Cricut^® Project Center where the design work is done for you! Simply download a file,upload it into the Cricut Craft Room^® design software, and press cut. Finally, get access to the more than 200 digital cartridges and single images available through Cricut.com and the Craft Room, including the Free Cut of the Week and a free font -- Cricut Craft Room Basics. The Craft Room is compatiable with all Cricut machines (except the very oldest Cricut Personal Cutters). Expand all the ways you use your Cricut machine!

The second is the Flip-Pal™ mobile scanner, which is a scanner that is mobile, accurate, versatile and compact. It is incredibly easy to operate, it has high resolution, a quick scan time, it runs on batteries and it is incredibly light – less than 3 pounds. It even fits in your purse! A computer is not required for operation as it has an internal memory card like a camera but if you use the computer software available, you can further enhance all your images and use them to create picture art, calendars, cards, slideshows and more! The software available, and sold separately, goes even further to allow you to create business logos, digital scrapbooks, cards, or even build your own website.
The scanner’s image screen fits 4x6 photos but you can scan larger images as well by scanning each part and stitching it together without seams! And the computer does all the work! The photo software that is available restores colors and old photos can be become new again without hurting the original. The patented flip-and-scan technology even allows you to scan images still in the album or frame. You can copy and restore old photos, scan newspaper or old records and preserve your memories forever!
Come see how these great new products work!
