Upcoming Classes

Altered Pens & Notepad:
Thursday, May 20th (10am-noon or 7-9pm)
Learn quick and easy ways to transform ordinary ink pens from "office supply" to stylish. We will also make a cute covered memo pad. These make great items for craft fairs or church bazaars - you can make a bunch in no time and they are fairly inexpensive because you can use all those paper and ribbon scraps that you have been saving!

Brayer Cards:
Thursday, May 27th (10am-noon or 7-9pm)
Create three beautiful cards using basic brayering techniques and a variety of masking techniques. Please BYO brayer if you have one.

Think Spring!

Well, I think Spring may finally be here, yeah! I have been enjoying the beautiful weather and hope you have been too.

I also appreciate your nice comments about my cards...thank you. Here are the cards we made in the class, I hope you like them too.

Brrrrrr....

...it's cold! Well, I guess winter is here to stay for awhile. Time to cozy up with some of those stamps hey? I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays, we sure did. We have had some construction going on at our home and all the craziness of the season so I have been a bit lacking in the crafting department. I am looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting back to my stamps and inks. I have some great classes scheduled for this month and I hope you will brave the cold and come on out to Stamping Memories for a class. Hope to see you there!

Here is a sample for this weeks brayer class. Can you believe what a Post-it can do?























Thanks, Julie D.
