Very Merry Card Tricks Class

Here are some pictures from my most recent Very Merry Card Tricks class at Michaels.  

We had a great time and the cards created were beautiful!  I am very proud of Sal, Melissa, Csilla, Krystle and Elaine!

A wonderful week (and totally awesome day)

Thursday was full of wonderful news. I found out I won several awards from Michaels and EKSuccess for teaching. I am very happy.

One of the best prizes was a ' Catered CROP with free Make & Takes!' This will be fantastic and perfectly appropriate that it can be shared with my wonderful students and croppers! I do not have any details yet.

Tinker Time was scheduled for today and to my pleasant surprise I had the class with just one student and it was great.  Nellie had a lot of fun and made some beautiful tags using various distressing and stamping techniques.
She also brought me a treat: freshly baked butter tarts; a lot of butter tarts - and OMG are they delicious!

Here are some pictures from the class:

$10 Card Class at Michaels!

 

This month Michaels is offering another card class for the crazy low price of $10.  This is the VINTAGE HOLIDAY CARD TRICKS and it is regularly $25.

Class Description: Create gorgeous hand-made greetings with olde-style charm.  Learn how to use basic distressing techniques and create vintage holiday cards that will WOW your recipients.

Supplies are not expensive for this class either and we will try to get the best use out of your card stock.

There are 3 classes offered this month with some seating still available.

Friday Oct. 26 6:30-8:30 pm

There will be some classes offered in November and December, as well. If you pay for them before Oct 27th you will only pay $10.

REMEMBER - I teach TECHNIQUE so you don't have to make exactly what I am making; you could make birthday cards if you like using the techniques I teach.

Students who take this class would also like tINKer time Distress and Shimmer - a technique driven class where you create 7 beautiful tags and learn 22 different stamping, inking, spraying and distressing techniques.

tIINKer time is available this month:   Thursday Oct 4 6:30-8:30 and Saturday Oct 27 4 - 6 pm. Cost is $25 and nominal supplies.

Open House Success and Prize Winner!

Thank you, thank you , thank you for the incredible turnout  at the Michael's Open House in North York! I had a record number of class sign-ups -29-  in just one day! At least that was the total when I left the store at 5 pm.  Customers were still signing up for classes after 4 pm.  I realized on my way home that I didn't take any pictures of the table or set up because (I can't believe I'm saying this) - I was too busy!!!  I know my manager took pictures so I'll have to see what she captured.
