Out with 2015 and in with 2016.....

As 2015 comes to a close, I look back and (I think I can speak for Nancy on this also), to say that we have had a blessed year.  Not only has 2015 brought with it expanded inventory selection and new ownership of Paper Arts, but we have increased our crop area and brought in several guest designers that are experts in their field to share with our local friends here.  But, as much fun as 2015 was, we have even bigger plans for 2016 and we cannot wait to share them with you as the new year unfolds.

However, we have a few more things left for 2015.....


Saturday, December 26th, we are hosting our first annual Boxing Day Sale!
Bring in ANY empty box, fill it with product that you want to buy...then when you get to the register you will draw a ticket and receive anywhere from 20% to 45% off the entire BOX!
(Not valid on hold tickets or special orders.)

Our hours for our Boxing Day Sale will be 10am to 5pm.

CLASSES

Progressive Art Journal

This will be the second month for Susan's Progressive Art Journal.  If you are new to the class, no problem.  Those that started last month will create 2 double inside pages.  The new starters will create their front covers and first inside pages.  

What is a Progressive Art Journal?  Each month, the first Tuesday evening of the month, we are going to meet (starting in December of 2015) and we are going to create 2 double page art journal layouts (in the same book).  Each month we will highlight new techniques, colors, quotes, etc….

Please bring adhesive, scissors, and your choice of washi tape.

This is a sample of the front cover.

Bible Journaling

Join Nancy on the third Tuesday of each month, 6-8 PM, as we journey through God’s Word artfully.  Each month we’ll do 3-4 pages, featuring a specific product/technique.  You will need to provide your own Bible with 2” margins, (with or without lines) available at Mardels or Lifeway.  If you have already embellished the page we are doing in class, you may do the artwork on vellum and attach it to your Bible page using washi tape.  

This is a sample page of one of the 3-4 pages to be done in January.
