Sunday...Funday

Mike has quite the following for his Sunday classes. Everyone is having a great time learning about all things "shiny and shimmery".

Be sure to check our schedule for classes next week. We'll be making Christmas Cards with Susan on Thursday, Fortune Cookie necklaces with Heather on Friday (these make perfect Christmas gifts). On Saturday there are a few spots left in Sandy's Acrylic Overlay class and you can join Susan in the afternoon to make Christmas Ornaments. You can see samples of all of our classes here.

Add Shimmer And Shine To Your Creations...

Join Mike this Sunday to learn all of the creative ways that you can add shimmer and shine to your art. Perfect Pearls? Glimmer Mist? Pearl Ex?
This is a technique class for all things that shine! He will teach you the similarities and differences of these three versatile products.

All supplies will be provided but, if you own a Craft Sheet please bring it along.

Gorgeous aren't they?
