Christmas Canvas class

Hi! I wanted to show you what I'll be teaching at the Scrappers Delight event in November. We will make this cute 16x20 canvas using acrylic paints and a bit of scrapbook paper. Now you may look at this and think that you can't create such an adorable piece of artwork, but I promise that I've broken this down so that anybody can paint it. Just think of the Christmas gifts you can make using this simple design.





Here are a few things that you will need to bring to class.
1. scissors
2. piece of sandpaper 100 grit
3. glue I prefer mono multi
4. a black scrapbook marker and a Sharpie
5. it's important to bring a 3\4 inch flat paint brush and a #2 flat brush. I got this variety pack at Hobby Lobby and it has everything you need in it. The brand is Loew Cornell and the pack style is#2112 . You can see the number in the top right corner of the pack.

Also if you want to trace a pattern so that you can make more of these, bring a 1\2 piece of poster board and a pencil to class.

If you want to know more about this event or you would like to sign up for this class or any of the others you can check it out HERE

Creative canvas class

Hi everybody! I will be teaching this 8x8 mini album this Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00. We will make the front and back cover with a painted canvas board. I will also show you creative ways to use the Accucut machine to make out of the ordinary pages to go inside.
Since my class is all about canvas, I also have a few tricks up my sleeve using different types. So come get in touch with the artist inside you and lets have fun!

Class supplies:
Paint brushes (just bring what you have. I will have some to use)
Brown ink pad
Brown marker
adhesive (a liquid glue works best)
scissors
paper trimmer

Class fee is $25. If you can't come, but would like a kit call the store.

See ya soon!
