New Instructor!!

We'd like to welcome and introduce to you our newest instructor!



Meet Alexis Easton, a new edition to the Precious Memories instructors team. Alexis has been crafting as far back as she can remember. Being a lefty, she feels it's in her blood and just a part of who she is. Alexis's passion for photography turned into a scrap booking addiction 6 years ago, during the pregnancy of her daughter, and she hasn't put down the paper since.

Currently you can find Alexis experimenting with all things paper related. From cards, to gifts, to photography, to scrap booking. If it's creative - she's sure to have tried it. Alexis is very excited to have the opportunity to share the creative bug and is looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces in her classes. You can check out what she has currently been working on, on her blog : http://www.beinspiredbyalexis.blogspot.com/

Come on in and try one of her classes today!

Handmade Christmas Bows!!

Have you got extra Christmas paper? Some scraps? Looking for a fun little project that you can do with kids? These Christmas bows are easy and lot of you no doubt have everything you need already!


I'm going to give you the easy step by step instructions on how to make these lovely bows that you can use on your gifts this year and all you need are some supplies you no doubt have in your stash right now! I'm sorry for the somewhat shadowy pictures, but the light wasn't great!

Your supply list is...
trimmer
a 6X12 piece of double sided patterned paper
some glue dots
pop dots or foam tape

With your 6X12 piece of paper, you're going to cut 8 pieces of paper that are 1X6.
You're then going to cut a one inch strip off the end of the 4 inch wide piece.
You'll then take the remaining large piece (which is 4X5) and cut 4 more strips of 1X5.
Hopefully the photo will help make this clear.

Then you're going to take all but the one 1X4 piece and make little bows out of each one and I used a glue dot to adhere them. Someone referred to them as the 'Brest Cancer bow", but you're essentially just crossing the ends.
**The only thing to remember here is that with the 8 long strips, you want 4 of each pattern showing.

This is what they should all look like when they're done.

With the smallest 1X4 piece, you're just going to roll it.

Then, you're going to take the four bows of the same pattern and just layer them together again using glue dots.
**You could put a brad through all of them if you want, but the glue dots work just fine.

Layer the 2 larger bows together now with foam tabs or pop dots between the layers.

You can add the smaller one to the top making sure to alternate the patterns. The only thing you now have to add is the little roll into the middle and that's it! Bow Complete!

Here you go! An easy and beautiful bow to go on any special gift!

I found this idea at SplitCoastStampers where Jessica Crawford did a tutorial, but have seen it a few other places as well.
Cheers,

Instructor: Colleen Heidrich
Class Fee: $15.00 Supply Fee: $5.00

We'll be scaring up some fun as we work on this technique based double page layout. Just a few of the great techniques here are stamping and embossing, piercing, creating your own embellishments, and distressing. We'll also be playing with glitter, die cuts, punches, the Slice Machine, and so much more! Layout design and sketches will also be discussed since this layout is based on a sketch from the fabulous Jana Eubank (www.frommyfeatherednest.blogspot.com). Come and get ready to carve out some memories! All Supplies Included.



Scrapbooking Basics: The "How To" Course NEWLY DESIGNED!
Thursday October 8th  6:30 - 8:30
Instructor: Tobi Crawford
Class Fee: $10.00

Do you have loads of supplies at home, and have NO idea how to use them? Have you bought some accessories and tools, but aren't sure you're using them right, or getting the most use out of them? OR, are you an absolute beginner and just want to jump in and get started? Well then, this class is for all of you! I will be at your disposal to help you put a layout together over the span of 2 hours, as well as help you with any questions or curiosities you might have along the way. Included in the Class fee is the paper you will require for the layout (1 piece of designer paper, and two 12x12 solid cardstock), and all supplies (glue, trimmers, scissors etc), and of course ME, who will be your personal shopper and coach every step of the way! Don't know how to use ribbon? Stickers? Chipboard? Die Cuts? We will incorporate those mysteries into your layout. An added bonus: you will be able to shop for items in the store as you need them for your layout using your class discount! Please bring photos.


Copic Workshop: Level I
Saturday, October 8th  10:30 - 12:30
Instructor: Tobi Crawford
Class Fee: $15.00 Supply fee: $5.00

Consider this your first introduction to everything Copic. If you find yourself wondering what papers to use, what ink, what end to use? Then this class is the first logical step. This class is even for those who aren't sure about these markers, and maybe just want to try them out! You will use the store's markers to get some hands-on experience. You will colour some stamped images for you to take home and use on cards, but note that you will not be making any cards in this class; this is all about the process! All Supplies Included.



Copic Workshop: Level II
Saturday, October 10  2-4
Instructor: Tobi Crawford
Class Fee: $15.00 Supply fee: $5.00

This is the second level of classes dedicated to learning all about Copic markers. If you've taken Copic I then you are ready for this class, OR if you feel like you have a handle on paper and ink selection, as well as general care for your markers (refilling, nibs etc) then you will feel at home in this class. We will start to "play" a little more in this class by learning some advanced techniques like direct-to-rubber stamping, playing with the blender solution, airbrushing and so on with the store's markers. Like the Level I Workshop, you will not make cards, but will hone your colouring skills with some images to take home and use on cards later! All Supplies Included.
