Last nights Acrylic Overlay class...


The beginning of Becky's creation.

It's coming along.

Notice the definition starting to take place? He is starting to have a muzzle and a neck.

Becky's finished project. It turned out great!

The beginning of Lesley's creation.

About mid way through.

A beautiful, finished project!

Chris just getting started.

The finished project which turned out beautiful (no matter what Chris thinks).
Cece's art work just about done.

This class had more fun than we have seen (or heard) a class have in a long time! These ladies all found out that even if they can't "paint" they can do an acrylic overlay! Sandy is teaching this class again on Saturday, October 4th. If you'd like to give it a try call the store and sign up!

Saturday's "Altered Autumn Shadowbox" class.

You'll get to choose from any of the three designs seen here. Or, what the heck, we're sure Mike will let you design your own. You will have an abundance of choices when it comes to graphics and small decor items.

There's no need for you to bring any supplies unless you would like to personalize your shadowbox. Or, bring things to share and trade with other classmates.

The phone calls have already started coming in this morning to sign up for Saturday so don't wait too long!

As promised...

We sent out an e-mail today telling you about the last minute classes that Mike has scheduled for this Saturday, September 27th. This class is called "Autumn Passions" Embellishments & Hinged Beeswax Collage. Topics taught will be different applications for beeswax, safety, tools, basic technique and styles. As well, a few advanced techniques for returning students. For a complete description, times, and cost visit our class schedule.



What we don't have, as promised, is a picture of the shadow boxes that Mike will be teaching on Saturday, September 27th. We'll get those up tomorrow!

Mike will also be available on Sunday, September 28th for a "Computer" class. You let him know what you would like to learn about and he will spend time teaching you one on one. The class can be one hour or 4 hours. The cost is $35 per hour. Blogging, Etsy, Photo Shop, you name it! He will be doing this the last Sunday of every month. Just call the store to sign up and let us know your topic. Does it get any better than this?

Here's a sampling of what you can learn to do...

That's right you can paint just like this when you take this class with the talented Sandy Ramsdell. She will be teaching her first "Acrylic Overlay" class on Tuesday, September 23rd 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. The beauty of this is that you can paint any subject you want. It's up to you. Go here to read all of the details about this amazing class. Scroll through her posts to see all of her work and get tips on how to pick your image. There are a few spots left so call Mystic Paper to sign up, you'll be amazed at what you can create!

A Little Update...

Last week we asked all of you to bring in your unwanted supplies (extra things that you don't use anymore, old stuff, things you don't have room for) to donate to the Phoenix Children's Hospital. We had such a great response, as you can see by the over flowing boxes of craft goodies. Thanks to everyone who brought in supplies.
Brian, Editor in Chief of Creating Keepsakes Magazine not only orchestrated the whole thing, but he also drove all over the valley to collect donations. Thanks Brian!

While he was here he also did a little prize drawing for those of you who donated some goodies.

The winners were:
Gwen Taylor
Arlene Striplin
Morgan Poland
So, that means if you three haven't received your prized yet, come on in to pick it up!

Did Somebody Say B-I-N-G-O?



That's right, if you've participated in the Bingo Card Trade they are all sorted and ready to pick up. This was such a fun trade, we can't wait for the next one! Keep a look out for the next Mystic Paper Trade, we'll post the info right here on our little blog.

More new goodness arrived today!

You guys know how we love our Basic Grey. Here is the new Eva line. Beautiful browns and pinks! And, yes we got the entire line.

Here is Ambrosia! Do you see the butterflies? So cute!

Collection Packs in Ambrosia, Eva, and Offbeat. Still more on the way.

Weekend happenings...There is one spot left in Josies "Soldering Found Objects class.



There are just a few spots left in Kim's "Botanical Bird Block" class. And lucky Kim has two friends (who were the inspiration for the blocks in the first place) joining her to help out! It's going to be a great weekend!
