Inspiration StationSaturday August 13

Inspiration_Station.jpgInspiration Station is just that! A place to record your ideas & a place to try new techniques. It's a unique art journal of sorts. Since the pages are easily removable & replaceable, there's no need to worry about ruining your book. This design can also be transformed into a mini scrapbook, if you so desire. 

In this workshop we'll use lots of fun products including studio 490 art parts and stamps, Tim Holtz Idea-ology goodness, lots of Ranger inks and some grungeboard too. We'll play with the new distress stains & a few surprise techniques. Come join the fun and be inspired at Inspiration Station. 
** Note: Your project may be a bit different as Wendy is going to try and use some NEW product that she is introducing at CHA.
