We're a part of Main Street Mount Joy, so take advantage of the event and partake in our special for the evening!  Specials will vary and will be announced the week prior to the event and will be found in that week's Merchandiser.  Each month has a different theme, so we'll tailor our evening to the theme and sometimes we might even include a free make and take!  Visit their website at the following link: www.mainstreetmountjoy.com to find out what other businesses in the Main Street District are offering.  You might just want to take a break from cropping and take a stroll down Main Street to do a little browsing, shopping and eating!

The A-Z’s of YOU Album (aka Actopus To Zelephant Album)

Altered Book Club

Join us as we continue exploring the publication, “Altered Book Workshop” to learn altered book techniques.  I will complete an example two-page spread in my own book/theme demonstrating the technique of the month prior to the Club meeting.  At the meeting, you can choose to replicate my project in your book/theme, or get creative and venture on your own, completing a two-page spread pertaining to the current month's technique.  The evening will allow you to get a jump start on your assignment, and you'll have until the next Club meeting (approx. 4 weeks) to complete your project on your own time.  Don't worry, I'm reachable to help guide you through the process or give advice if you need it, but I look forward to seeing what your creativity leads you to on your own!  Lots of mediums to try are included in your class fee along with paints, gessos, textures, and sometimes ephemera and trinkets!  Registration for this club is required and you can join our club at any time.  July’s Technique: Cutting Windows and August’s Technique: Folding Pages.   

Club Fee Per Month:  $8.00 

Instructor:  Tobey

Two Examples of "Window Cutting"  and one example of "Page Folding"

The screen prints acrylic stamps below can be stamped into a masked (screened) image after Glimmer Misting

and the result is gorgeous!  These are the stamps, screens, and album (it's the snowflake album, but the snowflakes

Crushed Shells are the colors of Mist I envision using!  Just to give you an idea--can't wait to do it!

Distressed Tags-Tim Holtz Style!

Each month, we’ll make beautiful, tags great for gift giving or to keep for yourself just because you love them!  The reason for making tags is that they are finish-able projects, yet you’re learning many techniques that are timeless and useable on pages, altered books, and many other papercrafting projects.  You will also receive free Ideology or Ranger products to take home with you! You will need to bring your Basic Tools (see list below calendars) AND Glossy Accents AND if you have any of the following, please bring them:  Distress Ink pads, Water Spray Bottle or Mini Misters, Embossing Gun, Non-Stick Craft Sheet.

Below photos show June's Tags--July and August's will differ from these, but just to give

you an idea of what we have created in class most recently!

Stay tuned for actual project photos!

Graphic 45 Vintage Recipe Album

This two-part class is a repeat from May and June brought back by popular demand!  This class will be scheduled in September and October 2010.  We'll use a Bo Bunny 9x9 Naked Binder with six chipboard tabbed pages inside and decorate it with Graphic 45's "Domestic Goddess" line of papers and embellishments.  I've added adorable QuicKutz diecuts in food/recipe/kitchen theme to complete the project!  Can't make one or both of the classes?  Don't worry!  The kits for this album will include good pictures and all the papers and diecuts are cut for you, so it will be easy to put together on your own time.  If you are interested in this class, please let us know and we'll put you on a list, contacting you again when the classes are scheduled on the September/October calendars toward the end of August.  This will give us a general idea of how many to order supplies for and as you can see, with all the diecuts and papers, it takes extra time to put together the kits---any early notice for me will give me appropriate time to get the kits put together timely and properly!

Class Cost $45.00 

Instructor: Tobey

Photos below show front cover, inside of binder open flat without tabbed pages in the rings and only the fronts of three of the

tabbed pages.  The original is in the store if you wish to see it in person and see the rest of the pages.  Both front and back

of all the tabbed pages are fully decorated, but not all shown.

“It’s A Grid Thing” (Mosaic Technique)

Have you seen the layout samples we have in the store with photos being cut into different sizes and shapes and then reassembled to create a 2 page layout.  This technique is called mosaic scrapbooking.  I will warn you, once you learn to do this you will want to do more!  The cost of this class includes the tools to continue the process which are nearly equal to the cost of the class.  This class’s theme will be either fireworks or fresh-picked veggies. 

Class Cost $50.00 

Instructor: Shirley

Already know how to do Mosaics?  Anyone wishing to take the class as a refresher, or just for the sake of doing a new layout, may

do so.  Cost $15

Shirley's layout will differ from the photo below (taken from Wish

In The Wind's website) but this gives you a quick peek at what a

Mosaic Layout looks like if you haven't seen one before!

Stay tuned for actual project photos! 

Melissa Frances “Hide & Pull” Album

A fun album to make and look at over and over again!  This mini album is made entirely of envelopes and tags (hence: “hide and pull”!) We’ll use the "Vintage Posies" line of papers by Melissa Frances.  A great gift or you might like it so much you keep it for yourself! You will need to bring your Basic Kit (see list below calendars) and light purple ink pad for edge inking. 

Class Cost: $23.00

Instructor – Tobey

To give you a "sneak peek" at what this album will be made from:

Color scheme shown below with papers from the "Vintage Posey" line and Melissa Frances' Envelope & Tag Album (blank of course!)

Melissa Frances “Sweet Memories” Layout

We’ll make a soft and slightly vintage layout using Melissa Frances’ “Thankful” line of papers and embellishments.  My title will be “Sweet Memories” but your title is YOUR choice!  Would be a perfect layout for friends, mothers, or even baby girls!  You will need to bring your Basic Kit (see list below calendars) and a Creamy Brown Cat’s Eye ink pad. 

Class Cost: $12.00 

Instructor – Tobey

Color scheme shown below with papers from the "Thankful" line.

Stay tuned for actual project photos! 

Monochromatic Layout

Stay tuned for example photos! 

Summer Memories Mini Album

Using Cosmo Cricket’s “Garden Variety” line of papers and embellishments, this 6x6 album is completely adorable and screams for pictures beholding Summer’s delightful memories! My album’s title will change to “Summer’s Memories”, but if you wish to have a different title on your album, let us know at class sign-up! This is a repeat of a class from May, but many expressed interest and missed the class!  Now's the chance to complete this adorable "fresh-picked" album for yourself or give as a gift!   You will need to bring your Basic Kit (see list below calendars) and a black cat’s eye ink pad. 

Class Cost: $18.00 

Instructor – Tobey

Shown below is the actual project (my title will change on the cover to "Summer Memories") and a sampling of a few of the inner pages.

Vintage Lunchbag Album

Want to learn how to make a mini album out of lunch bags? In this class you will!  In the popular vintage-style, we’ll be using Graphic 45’s “A Proper Gentleman” line of papers/die cut tags and lots of Tim Holtz Ideology embellishments to make a mini album to house photo and/or journaling memories. "It's all in the details.", I like to think, and this album has many of them!  From Distress Crackle Paint, Glossy Accents and a few inking techniques, to using Tim Holtz's new Alterations dies to cut chipboard embellishments.  I'm sure you'll appreciate the detail in the design of each and every page!  You will need to bring your Basic Kit (see list below calendars) and a black cat’s eye ink pad.

Class Cost: $25.00 

Instructor – Tobey
