BYOS additon..

I didn't remind you to bring letters for your BYOS layouts this week.  There are a couple of good places for a cool titile on this layout.  Bring letters or cardstock to cut from on the Cricut.  These spots would also be a good place for a ticket, moment or journaling card.  As always, bring brads, lace pieces, or anything cute to add to the pages.

See you soon,

Cheryl

Supply list for BYOS class, October 22 & 24

Here is the supply list for this week's class.  The papers were chosen from the additional papers from September's kit club.  If you still have some of yours left, you could look there for inspiration.  

You will need:

2 pieces for the backgrounds. They can be print or solid. (Mine is the flower print on the far left side.)

4 different patterned papers that "play nice" together.  One of them needs to have "pop". (The dark one is my choice)  Notice also that 3 of mine are geometrics.  They are different size stripes and the colors match, so that makes them go with each other.

2 pieces of solid - can be cardstock or a "distressed look" solid.  This one will be used for backing certain pieces of the other papers and the photos.  Make sure it accents all the papers, but mostly the "pop" paper.

This layout has space for two clusters of embellishments.  This could be journaling cards and a few flowers, or birds, butterflies, tickets, etc.   Also you will need (1) fairly large brad.

You also will need 2 feet of ribbon.  It will look best if it is at least 1/2" wide.  I used the gold braid. 

As usual, if you have any questions about choosing your papers, come by the store and we will be glad to help you. I will have the layouts and paper samples in the store to look at on Tuesday.

Thank you all for the nice things you say about the class.  I have such a good time with each of you and I am glad you are enjoying yourselves too.

A new class on the calendar

Come make this precious little album and the adorable suitcase that it calls home. Think of that person on your list who is hard to buy for.  Make this album and give it to them, or better yet, fill it with photos and share wonderful memories.  This class is one that I did at Creative Escape with Tim Holtz.  I wanted to make more as soon as I was through with the first one!!  I wanted to share it with you here at home.  There are a several fun techniques involved and I loved using all the metal embellishments.  The album has 18 pages and mine is full of pictures.  Stop by and see the sample.   The class is on Tuesday, October 27 both in the morning (10 to 12:30) and the evening (6:30 to 9). The cost is $40.
