Hopefully I can finish the sample this time!

March My Mind's Eye Madness

So I have a thing for My Mind's Eye...can you tell? My last several project posts have all featured their products. And I'm not stopping here. In March, I'm celebrating my 2 year anniversary at the shop (which is SO hard to believe). I'm celebrating with March My Mind's Eye Madness...4 classes featuring their awesome collections. I'm also working on some groovy prize packages and give aways!

But first, have you received your free set of layout instructions for the Lil Robots Layout? The instructions are free with a $10 purchase from the Lil Robots collection. I put together the layout (designed by Anam Stubbington for My Mind's Eye), flipped it to create a double page spread and added a few goodies of my own. I'll continue to give away these instructions through March so be sure to stop in & join the madness.

Due to the nature of this class, please reserve your kit in advance and sorry, no substitutions. Better pictures to come!


Class #3

Nope, this isn't all of it (although making ribbon flowers is my new favorite thing!). I'll be using Lush to create a luscious layout full of all the frill and full of photos! Yep, a fancy layout with more than one photo on it! More pics to come. Sunday March 21st or Tuesday March 23rd; Anytime, All Day; $25.

Nook & Pantry Cook Book

This project has been marinating and simmering in my creative pot for quite some time now. In fact, I had the idea before I even received the collection, began working on the sample, ran out of materials, reordered, continued to work on it and now need to reorder supplied if we're ever going to have a class. The elements have been very popular on their own and in combination, they're irristable...if I do say so myself.

This is the "Nook & Pantry" Recipe Book featuring elements from Basic Grey and Melissa Frances.

The book features sections for 8 recipes plus room for photos and general cooking tips.

This book will make a great holiday gift and is a great way to showcase your keepsake recipes. Or grab a group of friends, take the class and have a recipe swap. The possibilities are endless.

The class will be offered Thursday, November 19th & Tuesday December 1st. You can come any time to complete the project...please allow 3 hours to complete the book. The cost is $45...but if you book your class by tomorrow, November 13th, your cost is only $35. Now here is the rub...I'm having a hard time reordering some of the rub ons for this class...so I have 5 complete kits as pictured in the photos...after that we'll adapt the book and adjust the price if need be.
