Original Technique Tags

Looking for some creative inspiration, look no further. The Original Technique Tags class is the 3rd in a series of 6 classes based on the tags Tim Holtz taught at Winter CHA for the Crafters Home stores.This class will focus on the Distress Stains. Directions for the back of each tag will be provided so you will be able to recreate the look later.

Just finished - my "May" tag

I have been participating in Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2012. Just finished my tag for May and made a matching frame. For the tissue paper pattern, I actually bought an infant pattern so I could use the tiny pieces on the background. The faux porcelain flowers were such fun to make. I think I made over a dozen. They are much pretty in real life. If you want to see them, stop by Cafe Crop.

Do you LOVE to DOODLE??

If you love to  

doodle, 

then you will love 

Zentangles. 

The Zentangle method is a way of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is fun and relaxing. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well being.

We are offering classes May 15 (11am-1pm) and May 16 (6pm-8pm) taught by Tina, a Certified Zentangles Teacher (CTZ). Stop by or call to sign up. Next time you are caught "doodling", you can say you are creating a Zentangle.

They're Here!!! ...

The seasonal distress inks and reinkers are in.

There are still a few sets left. If you are interested in the reinkers, stop by soon. They will be able for a limited time, and we can order more if needed.  The colors are even better in real life. Can't wait to play with them.
