After unanimous agreement by folks involved in Inchies Club, we're now called Art 'n Soul's Art Squares Club to recognize new Inchie Arts products that now include Art Boards of various sizes (from inchie squares to ATC card size). We will now meet the 3rd Monday of each month beginning next month… Monday, June 17, 4-5pm. Everyone who loves working on Art Boards from Inchie Arts is welcome to join us each month, and if you have artwork to share and leave with everyone, that's great! If you aren't able to share because of time constraints, we want you to join us anyway to share your enthusiasm for the art. The purpose of the club meeting is to 'Show & (maybe) Share' what we created. There will be no more class instruction or playtime unless we decide in advance to schedule them, which might extend the meeting time. Spring is a time for renewal, and we hope you'll enjoy the new breath of fresh creativity being given to Art 'n Soul's Art Squares Club!

"Marvelous Bridge and more...

| by Pam Sparks for Memory Box |
I had fun creating this step card for one of my upcoming classes in Ottumwa, Iowa! Click the class page, link under the header, scroll down to Iowa for the class info.
The Marvelous Bridge die is so cool! I teamed it up with the new Dancing Butterflies die, Balloon die, Puffy Clouds and the Grand Old Oak tree. Then from Poppystamps dies, I used the Picket Fence and Grassland dies.
Memory Box Dill, Granny Smith, Water, Licorice, Vanilla Bean, Dove Gray, Kraft, Raspberry and White card-stock. Currant Distressed Dots paper.
Happy creating! Thanks for stopping by!"
Here's some humor for your day . . .
Wouldn't it be wonderful if 'anger management' was this simple! I love those puppies!
We'll see you tomorrow.
