Supply list for "12 Tags of Christmas" class

Dusty and I are so excited about this class.  It will certainly be a challenge to get 12 tags done in an hour, but we are ready.  So just come expecting a good time and a great kick-off to this wonderful season. 

The supply list is as follows:

adhesives - tape roller and sticky dots

liquid adhesive of any type

Stickles - any green (lime, patina), red, icicle (or any "clear)

Distress Stickles - Frayed Burlap (or any neutral color)

Crackle Paint - Picket fence (white)

Ink blending tool with extra foam pads (this one is important to have)

Distress Inks: Old Paper, Brushed Cordoroy, Black Soot, Tea Dye, Peeled Paint

Sanding Block

Piercing Tool or push pin for poking holes

Edge Distressing tool

Tiny Attacher and staples

Black Glaze pen

Alcohol Inks: Silver, Faded Jeans

Alcohol Ink Pen with Red Currant ink inside.

If you don't have some of these things, bring any substitute you want.  Alternate colors will work fine; use your imagination.   Having your own supplies will make finishing your projects so much easlier, but we will have these things to share.  So don't panic.  We will have some supplies of these things to purchase if you wish, or we will share. 

See you Saturday!!

BYOS is scheduled!!

I am so sorry this took me so long.  I have a lousy excuse, but here goes...

My daughter, Katie, is playing basketball for the first time this year with a homeschool team that will play 35+ games this season!!  I am going to try to juggle my "mom" hat with my "by design" hat and I didn't want to put something on the calendar until I checked the basketball schedule.  (Our first game was last Friday, by the way.  I had so much fun watching her play.  These are high school teams and it has been so long since I was a mom in the bleachers.)

These classes are so much fun for me and I am excited for the next one.  It will be Thursday, November 19 both at 10:00 and again at 6:00.  The Saturday class is on the 21st and will start at 9:30 til noon.  The class is only $5.  Be watching the blog for your supply list.  I'll have it up soon. I try to give you at least 5 days or so to get your things together.

MNT Monday, October 26

"Could you do another page that could be used for a boy?", we hear this all the time.  Scrapbooking is an easy thing to do for a girl.  There are lots of frilly things to use and most of the time it is the mom doing the work, so it can tend to get a little "girly".  Christy designed a cute, quick MNT that is orange and not too frilly.  So come get yours Monday from 10 to 2.
