The cost is $30 for the class and you get a free stamp.
We will be making three cards in class and you take home the pieces to make the other three

With the cool temperatures we have had this week these cards are perfect!

Seriously though these are wonderful holiday season cards to send to everyone up North.

You can write on the inside sentiments such as:

hahaha, I made this card for you while sitting by my pool under my palm tree
or
ooh Snow, wonder what that feels like
or
We don't have Snow here but you do and lots of it, hahaha

so there you go plenty of reasons to make and send these cards in Florida :0

Mark from Deadbeat Designs

is coming to Everything Scrapbook and Stamps on Thursday October 20th to teach classes.

Deadbeat Designs is the company that makes that awesome truck stamp with the tailgate you can add anything to. . . .

His stamps make it easy to make masculine themed cards.

We will be working with his Hot Air Balloon Stamps

Here are some samples of cards made with them,
I don't know what we will be making, it is a surprise!!!

Don't miss out on this once in a Lifetime opportunity to meet Mark. He never leaves his man cave, (well only to watch a Tennis Game or get groceries) so we are very honored to have him at our store.

Of course if you live in Texas and see him at the Grocery store or he comes back to our store then you could have the opportunity in the future.

But, just in case those things don't happen, call to get on the class list, don't take the chance of missing out.

The day just kept getting better

I was chatting with some of the manufacturers and of course ordering stuff, chatting with other store owners, placing more orders and catching up with friends and then I got to do some cards with Elizabeth Crafts.

WOW

Tomorrow I get to spend the day with Tim Holtz

Make n Take with Tim Holtz

Another long day today full of exciting demos and classes.

I got to make my annual Halloween Tag with Tim Holtz
sorry for the bad photo, my hotel room has bad lighting

Cool vintage tinsel as well as some of his Halloween Kraft Resist paper, charms and Glassine Paper make this years tag the best one yet.
