To make room for the new paper stock coming in, there are 12x12 papers on the back table that we're discounting 35%. Many of the papers are from the various Anna Griffin lines, including the beautifully flocked papers. Come in early for the best selection.
I've added 3 new classes to the schedule that are not on the printed schedule yet . . .
- "Blooming Creations" on Tuesday, July 13, from 6:00 to 8:00'ish featuring the new Spellbinder Nestabilities and stamps from Heartfelt Creations that are on order. We talked to the company this morning and because of a snafu at their end, they are bending over backwards to accommodate the Art 'n Soul order by hopefully pushing our order out their door tomorrow if the die-cuts come in on time, instead of waiting to ship out on June 30!
- "Peeling Pretty" on Tuesday, July 20, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., featuring ways to use the Magenta Peel-Off's that we've been crazed about recently, including the 3-D techniques. The beautifully creative and imaginative ways to use Magenta products as only they can inspire us.
- "Alice in Spookland" Halloween Book on Sunday, August 1, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Using the new Graphic 45 Alice in Wonderland Halloween papers, cut-outs and other ephemera to create a fun early project for Halloween. The Alice in Wonderland Halloween papers will come out for an early introductory on July 5 (pending on-time delivery), and will be "put away" on August 10 until our other Halloween papers arrive in early September. When you hear the paper is "in" . . . don't delay.
Technical glitches surfaced when the new class schedule was emailed to the ANS customer list. Until the word-processing guru's can figure out what happened today, I am sharing the printed list as it came out today from Susie. It won't feature the beautiful lettering that Susie uses but the words are ALL hers!

These medallions can be framed as art or used for card and journal decorations. Finishing and design options will be given. Symmetrical designs on stamps turn out the best results, so if you have any, you’re welcome to bring them to class.

THE RETURN OF TERRY MEDARIS!
Terry’s colored pencil classes are always extremely popular and this time he will be arriving with over 40 new designs! You won’t want to miss these “reformatted” classes:
Saturday, July 24, 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Terry Medaris –“BASIC BLENDING ON PAPER AND ON MARBLED TILE”,$60 . . . reduced to $45 as of 6/26/2010
This year Terry is combining two classes into one. The first segment of the class will focus on how to select the appropriate colors to use to learn his blending techniques. Terry will demonstrate the techniques he uses with soft lead Prismacolor pencils. He will explain what types of paper and cardstock he uses, as well as what tools he uses to clean up his artwork. He will also demonstrate the proper use of these tools. You will be given a pre-stamped greeting card as well as samples of Terry’s artwork to practice the blending techniques on. In the second half of the class, students will apply the knowledge they have just learned on a pre-stamped 4 x 4” tumbled marble tile. Then they will color in the design using his blending techniques with Prismacolor pencils.
Please bring Prismacolor soft lead pencils (a set of at least 36 or 48 is recommended to give you a better selection of colors), as well as a pencil sharpener. Please have pencils sharpened before class. (Sharpen the pencil end opposite the color name and pencil number.)
Saturday, July 24, 2:30-4 p.m., Terry Medaris – “COLOR BLENDING REFRESHER”, $25
This is a “refresher course” for those who have already taken earlier classes with Terry and want to “brush up” on their coloring and blending skills.

Sunday, June 25, 1-3 p.m., Tamara –“RUBBER CEMENT STAINED GLASS”, $20
Use simple materials to create surprisingly beautiful and complicated-looking results! You will create 3 samples and choose your favorite to assemble a unique bookmark gift card.

A very unique class, not to be missed!
Tuesday, July 27, 6-8 p.m., Marj – “CREATIVE TECHNIQUES WITH SPELLBINDER DIES”, $30
The wonderful Spellbinder Dies offer SO many possibilities for making beautiful cards. This class will go beyond the basic cutting and embossing, and help you see new, creative uses for a wide variety of dies. Come join the fun as we combine the die cuts with embossing folders and explore nifty layering techniques. This is not a beginning Wizard class….participants NEED to know how to cut and emboss with your machine. Please bring a Wizard or Cuttlebug and the appropriate mats to class, along with your basic class kit. Time restraints and lots of cutting and embossing mean we need a die cut machine for at least each two people. If you don’t own one, you can sign up with a friend with whom you can share. Check the supply list for helpful items to bring to class.
Sunday, August 15, 2-4 p.m., Elaine – “EXPLORING ENCAUSTIC WAX PAPERS IN LANDSCAPE DESIGNS”, $35
This class is a great follow-up to “Encaustic Wax Play Date!” – you do not, however, need to have taken that class in order to find this one fun and informative. Although basic wax techniques will be discussed and practiced, the primary goal of this class is to explore the effects of encaustic wax on a variety of papers. We will be creating background papers using tissue, parchment, and watercolor paper which we will then use to make torn paper landscapes. This class will be rich in experimentation and imagination so come prepared to explore and discover! Space is limited to 8 so sign up soon! If you have a craft iron please bring it with you.
