Card Making With the Art Gallery Cards Makers--Class Schedules, Announcements, Specials!

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

   

Hello, My Stampin' Divas and Chicas!

I hope you are all having a fabulous week!  

Above you'll see some of the projects that we enjoyed making in our classes this week!  It was so much fun to make the shaker card and the witch card! 

Equally fun was the Vintage Leaves card that is CASE'd from Oksana Semenska, my wonderfully creative workshop teacher in Port Orange.  She is amazing!!  This is not exactly like any of her cards but it is definitely inspired by the cards we made with her a few weeks ago!!

I have to say that this has been a wonderful week due to some balance!  Here's what I need to have a balanced week (crazy nut that I am!)

·         I taught 3 fabulous stamping classes.

·         I cleaned a closet and straightened my stamp room.

·         I worked like a devil in the yard today!  I trimmed hedges, shaped 6 hibiscus trees with the electric hedge trimmer and cleaned up the beds in the front and by the back fence.  Watered my outdoor plants and washed down the patio.

·         Took 2 Zumba classes (1 and 1/2 more tomorrow!)

What I STILLLL need to do to help me achieve and sustain balance for at least a short time: 

·         Write and send this great newsletter and take some pictures for it!

·         Design 2-4 cards for my classes next week (4!)

Feel free to share what you do to achieve balance or close to it!!

Attention Titusville Stampers and Others That May Be Interested....

By the way!  Connie Allen, a watercolor teacher that I know from the Titusville Art League, is going to teach us how to draw these beautiful portraits of women of color at my Titusville Public Library class next Wednesday.  We meet at 10:30 am.  Connie will teach the first hour and we'll make a pretty Christmas card during the second hour.  I have a couple of extra seats available if you would like to join us "up north".  Let me know by Monday. ( I'm soooo excited because I've never been taught how to draw ANYTHING in my whole life!) I am so grateful to Connie for her kind offer!!

If my project looks anything like this, I will be over the moon!!

Halloween Framed Fun, Class Schedules and Product Announcements!!

Hi, Stampers!

I hope you are doing well and ready for a great Labor Day Weekend of fun, barbecues and relaxation!!

Yayyyy! The Holiday Occasions Catalog is now open for business!  If you'd like to stop by the Art Gallery of Viera to pick one up, email me at reenathan@bellsouth.net

I keep falling in love with different items each time I pick it up so beware!  :-)

You can see it online by clicking HERE

AND.......There are discounted items.  Let me know before September 7!  :-)

Well if that isn't enough......

I've had a wonderful week!  I got to do some casual stamping early in the week and had a fabulous time.  I even discovered some products that I may not be able to resist. Shhhhhhh! Well, actually, I've already gotten one of the items--a really cool Sizzix triple circle flip it card framelit.  Don't worry!  You'll see it soon enough.  Thank you Dyanne and Sadie for helping to usher me to the "dark side"!  (giggle!!)

My Stamp Club met on Tuesday evening and we had a wonderful time--as always! Thank you SOS members for a wonderful evening of fun and pretty cards!!!

So.......what does a stamper do when she has 2 extra days???  Well, here is what I've been up to!  I plan to make 4 more of these!  You can easily make these for gifts.  I visited my local thrift shops and Ross to find inexpensive frames and painted them with a really good black shiny spray paint.  They turned out terrific!  Then I gathered papers, ribbon, embellishments--Just the thing we all have plenty of--and went to work (Play!!).  I'd love to see your creations if you decide to make these!  They are so fun to make that I hope to make another round of these for Christmas!!  Have Fun!!

Here is our schedule for the next 2 weeks!! Please RSVP for your respective classes 3 days prior.

Art Gallery of Viera:  Yes, we are meeting for both classes on Monday (10:30 and 1:30).  We'll make a Christmas card using embossed gold foil paper for our beautiful stars and we'll do some aquapainting with alcohol on our Thanksgiving card.  Halloween next time!  Promise! (Not to drink but to use instead of water.  :-)

We'll also meet again on September 12.  

Titusville Public Library:  We'll meet on Wednesday, September 7, at 10:30 am to create the cards described above.

Cocoa Beach Public Library:  We'll meet on September 21 at 9:30 am to create a Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween card.

I'll send supply lists out for those of you that may wish to bring your stamps, inks etc.
