Spring Mix Album Class featuring Graphic 45 "Once Upon A Springtime"

Hey scrappers, it's been a little while but I have been very busy working on getting the website stuff done (still more to do) and this new class project completed. Now that it is finished, I can't wait to share all the cool techniques used to put together this fantabulous album.

This is the first album I have done for a class and I have to say it was definitely an experience. It is a mixed album with chipboard and acrylic using Graphic 45's "Once Upon a Springtime" line. It has beautiful earth tones of greens and orange, with tons of butterflies, flowers, and fairies. The photos (just a few) do not do this album justice.

The class is scheduled for April 30 @ 2 pm at The Scrap Room in Mt. Juliet. You will need to call them to reserve a spot. The class is scheduled from 2 to 6:30 just to allow enough time to finish the project due to drying times, we may finish earlier. The cost is $35.

Be sure to bring a basic class kit along with: craft/exacto knife, adhesive (wet, dry, 3-d, small and medium glue dots), paper piercer or small hole punch, pencil, heat tool, alcohol ink applicator, you will need bee scissors as well. You will also need a self healing matt.
These items are required to complete this project, I may be able to loan out a couple of the items but not for all. The more you bring to class and the less we have to share will help the class move along as scheduled.
There are a ton of techniques including 2 tags in this project, using alcohol inks, stickles, shimmer mists, distress inks, and acrylic paint. You really don't want to miss this one.

Be sure to bring pics, the sizes are as follows:
Pic #1 - 2" (H) X 3 3/4" (W)
Pic # 2 - 2 3/4" (H) X 3 1/4" (W)
Pic # 3 - 2 3/4" (H) X 2 3/4" (W)

New Web Store

As many of you already know, I am opening a scrapbooking web store with my partner Jamie. We are very excited to announce "We are almost there". We have been working our fingers to the bone with designing pages, writing policies, and trying to figure it all out. I think opening a store front would be easier, but that isn't what I want to do. :)

Our "Grand Opening" (of sorts) will be this Saturday at the mile long in Watertown TN. We will be located on Depot Street (the street that runs from the square to Hwy 70 by Jim's Antiques and Wilson Bank And Trust). We will be right behind the train station about 3 booths back. You won't be able to miss us though. We will all be in lime green shirts with Happy Scrapper in hot pink across the front. We will be loud and colorful.

We will be selling our first kits, all filled with embellishments. We will have various other embellishments you can get to go with your kit or other pages/projects you may have in mind. We will also have some instructional sessions to show how we created some of the techniques you will see in our sample pages (used from the same line on sale), and other techniques you may see from our other examples that will be on display. You can also enter our "Grand Opening" contest for a weekend in Gatlinburg, which is an 8 week long raffle with a live drawing to be held May, 20 at Bull n Whistle at 7 pm. You don't have to be present to win...the winner will be notified by phone or email if they are not present and will be announced on our website, blog, and facebook. If you can't make it to the Mile Long Saturday, you can still get tickets by stopping by Bailey's Sweet Shop and Aaron's in Lebanon. Official rules are also posted at these locations.

For those of you who aren't crafty or just don't have time and would like a Happy Canvas either for yourself or a gift, we will be taking orders Saturday. All you have to do is provide the photo(s), choose a design and color scheme. Then just sit back and let us do our creative magic. They are great for your home or office and also make great gifts. I have given several of these out as gifts for bridal showers, birthdays, and Christmas. We have not had a disappointed customer at this point.

I just can't wait for Saturday, we have worked ourselves half to death, but still can't wait to introduce this to the public. Wish us luck and we hope to see you Saturday.

Happy Scrappin'
