Sept. already!

I keep saying it is not going to be as long in between posts as it has been but so far I haven't made it.

I will be posting pictures of the images we will be coloring in the Copic classes in October as soon as possible. The October calendar will be published this week.

I am making some changes to classes. I have had a very poor response to the card and technique classes I have been scheduling so I am going to concentrate on Copic classes. Beginning in Oct. I will be scheduling 3 different Copic classes per month but still have it on Mon. daytime and Thurs. evenings for a total of 6 classes.  I will try to keep the images current for the season or holidays but will be adding in some specific classes such as hair, skin, etc. If you have something you need to work on, please let me know and I will try to schedule something in.

I know that I have some interested in making albums and I will get classes scheduled for that very soon. This will be a start to finish album and will be a series of classes held weekly. I will speak to the ones who have shown an interest and see what papers everyone is interested in. If you have wanted to take an album class please let me know.

I have tried to keep the cost of my classes low, but unfortunately, the first of Oct. I am going to have to raise the costs of classes to $20 per class.

I hope everyone has a great week.

Hugs,
Delo

Change in schedule

I have had to postpone the "Time Out" class scheduled for Fri. 8/10 until I can get the Copics in for the class. I will reschedule that for later this month. I will be holding a Hydrangea card class on Fri. instead. 

I have the "Grog" image colored, this is for the Sept. Copic class and am working on getting "Gossmere" colored for the Oct. Copic class.

The Swing card classes are set for next week, Mon., 8/13 at 11:00 am and Thurs., 8/16 at 5:30 pm.

Then on Mon. 8/20 at 11:00 am and Thurs. 8/23 at 5:30 pm, are the paper flowers technique classes. We will be making sunflowers.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

This is the card for the August 6 & 9 Copic classes, we will be doing hydrangeas.

The list of supplies you need to bring are:
Scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder, score board, adhesives (tape and liquid), pop dots, ruler, pencil, eraser, embellishments if you want something different than the sample.

Copic markers you will need for the class:

I will have the markers if you need to buy them.

I will also be having a Copic class on Aug. 10 (Fri.) at 5:30.  It will be a S.W.A.L.K. stamp "Time Out".  This will only be coloring the image not a completed card class.  You will receive extra images to take home to practice on.

The Copics needed for this class will be:

If you are interested in these classes, please come by and sign up or let me know so I will have enough markers for everyone to purchase for the classes.

I am limiting the size of my classes to a maximum of 6 students, this gives me time to do more individualize instruction.  So if you are interested in either of these Copic classes or the card or technique classes, please come by and sign up early.

Have a great day!!

August calendar

I sent out the August calendar with a schedule of classes.  I had to make some changes due to my husband and I having doctor appointments in Lubbock on two separate days. I also have some extra Copic classes scheduled and will post pictures and dates sometime today when I get to the store.

I am working on getting greeting cards made to take to the Carlsbad Downtown Farmer's Market on Saturday. I am going to try to be there on Sat. through the season. I will be selling greeting cards and my mini albums.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!

Changes to the July calendar

I have made some changes to the July calendar.  I will now have the card and technique classes on Mondays during the day as well as on Thursdays in the evening.  So if you can't get to the evening class I hope the daytime class will work for you.  Most daytime classes will be held at 11:00 am.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop by or give me a call.  If you would like to receive the store calendar monthly, please come by, send me an email or call with your email address. I will try to have the calendar sent out around the middle of each month.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week.
Hugs,
Delo

Happy Monday!!

Gosh, I didn't realize it has been as long since my last post. My first Copic class is full on Thursday, July 12.  Woohoo!!  I am very excited about teaching this.  I received my shipment of Copic markers so I have plenty for everyone for the class. I will be teaching this same class on Mon., July 9 at 11:00 am if anyone is interested in a day class.

On Thur., July 19 at 5:30 pm, I will be teaching a card class.  It will be the "Magic Message Card".  Please sign up early so I will have enough kits for everyone. These pictures are of the sample I made. We will be using different papers and cardstock.

The cost of the class is $15 and I will provide the card base, patterned paper, white cardstock, stamps and ink.  You will need to bring paper trimmer, scissors, adhesive (tape runner, ATG will work best), ruler, pencil, score board (if you have one), any embellishments you would like on your card.

This card is an A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) it will fit in an invitation envelope.

I will be closed on Wed., July 4th. Have a safe and happy Independence Day!!

I will also be closed on Sat., July 7.

I hope everyone has a great week!
