STAMPAWAY WEEK AT MARCO'S PAPER JUST GOT A NEW TEACHER

I am so happy to announce I will be teaching a Stampscapes class at Marco's Papers in Centerville, Ohio July 31, 2012 during Stampaway week.  Marco's Paper is about 35 miles north of Sharonville (which is right outside of Cincinnati) where the Stampaway USA convention is being held.   Last year I wrote a post Stampaway blog in which I made the comment that I would like to teach at Stampaway.  Well this is even better because Marco's is one of my favorite stores, and I am so honored to have this opportunity to teach a class during their Stampaway celebration.   In fact I will be kicking off Stampaway week for Marco's.  If we fill up one class I may be teaching a second one on the same day.  Please contact Marco's Paper if you are interested in taking this class.  Help me fill two classes and make this event a great success.

See you at Marco's Paper in Centerville, Ohio July 31.

Marco's will also be carrying both of my DVD's

CARDS WITH A VIEW April 22, 2012 Class

This class was inspired by my students requests for window cards and a waterfall card so I have tried to deliver a variety which we will be doing April 22, 2012 at the Stables Community Center in Sevierville, TN.  I have used Spellbinders dies, Heartfelt Creations stamps, Art Gone Wild stamps and template and To Much Fun Rubber Stamps window stamp.  I am still working on the 4th card which will also be a window card.

If you would like to join us in this class please visit my website at  http://www.astampineveryhand.com/ where you can pay using your paypal account or go to our contact section to find out how to pay by check.

Here are three of the cards we are doing in this class.  The Flower Soft card is much prettier in person and the waterfall card has a different image on each panel on the front of the card.

                                                      Waterfall Birthday Card

                                                      Mystic Hideaway Window Card

                                                     Flower Soft Wedding Card

If you are in the East TN. area I hope you will come and join us!

STAMPAWAY LOGO FOR 2012

 I just saw the 2012 Stampaway logo and I am a little disappointed in the design.  I was hoping for more creativity.  I do like the colors they chose, but I like to base my trade design on the logo every year and this one has me really scratching my head.  If any of you have any ideas on what you would do in the way of a artist trading card please leave a comment.  I like the idea of a giant rubber stamp and a play on there 20th year.  I do have a stamp with the skyline of Cincinnati on it that I purchased from DP Artworks and those are the only ideas I have at the moment.  I really would like to hear your feedback.

Stampaway is a great convention held in Cincinnati, Ohio every year.  The dates this year are Aug. 3 for the preview party and Aug. 4 for the open convention.  You can get more info about the convention by visiting there website http://www.stampawayusa.com.  I am from Cincinnati so it gives me a chance to go home and visit family, get new ideas for my classes and the store where I work.


 

FEB. 19, 2012 CLASS COFFEE AND TEA THEME

I have been very busy working on my class which will be next Sunday again this month at the Lion of Judah Martial Arts School in Seymour, TN.  I would like to thank the school for working with me so I did not have to cancel my Jan. and Feb. classes.

The cards are coffee and tea theme done in a collage style.  I have had several requests to repeat a collage class so here it is with a twist .
