The SEI fall papers are so beautiful  . . . if there is a second photo, it's because I'm hoping you can see the foil in the paper. The BEST way to see these beautiful foil papers is to stop in at Art 'n Soul!

This is the SEI Halloween paper . . .

John Petersen's class on Saturday, September 22, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. is going to be another fabulously fun day. Here's a sample of what we're going to do on canvas . . . I can't wait! I think I'm going to bring to class some die cuts and stamps I want to use and/or combine with the stash John brings to work with. What I love about John's classes is the freedom to do your own "thing" while John teaches techniques and new tips using products from Imagine Crafts and Tsukineko. You don't want to delay . . . please sign up as soon as possible because this class is going to fill up. Stop in or call the store at 360.357.6820!

These are the new embossing folders that we are taking orders from now. These designs are beautiful and will be available in time for your holiday cards. This is the manufacturer that only makes a certain number of each design once and when they're sold out, they are not available any longer.

Please note that some of the folders are available in the A-2 and the 5"x7" sizes. Call the store for more information or to order (360.357.6820) or stop in . . . pleeze!


Kerri McTarsney was in yesterday. She asked Dianne to help her make some Halloween cards with the die cuts, stamps and other embellishments she brought with her. These are a couple of the cards Dianne and Kerri put together . . . pretty darn nice!
