New papers from SEI were put out today . . . and the delivery also included a couple of papers from 'retired' collections.
These are the papers from 'retired' collections that I couldn't
resist bringing back!

 |
| this has to be one of the most popular papers from SEI; Dianne even found a sample card that had been made using this paper when it was first introduced at Art 'n Soul |
Susie has been busy using a couple of new stamps from Magenta that arrived in the last delivery. Of course, they're gorgeous.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

The Inchie/Artboards class is this Saturday! If you have not yet signed up for this class, do yourself a favor and call us to sign up. There are still a couple of spots left. Lisa will be focusing on watercolor techniques with different mediums, and that is such a hot trend right now. Lisa's classes are always inspiring, so treat yourself! Saturday 1:00-3:00 Lisa Lee $30. See the attached class schedule for more information.
Also, a little bird told me that Inchie Arts is coming out with 4" squares!! Lisa will bring a limited supply of these new artboard squares with her on Saturday. Let us know if you want a box of them reserved for you!
Recycled Rubber is coming up on May 3rd and 4th. Be sure to be here! We know we've said this before, but this may be the biggest one yet. One customer brought in a LOT of boxes of great stuff, and Marj and Susie continue the purge of their studios!
SPECIAL NOTICE FROM SUSIE, OWNER OF ART 'N SOUL:
“We have been blessed at Art 'n Soul to have Patti Highlands as part of our incredible staff. Unfortunately for us (but great for her!), Patti has been offered a job at her church and she will soon be leaving us — and you.
That leaves us a bit shy on staff so I [Susie] am now accepting applications for a position working at the store. This will involve working about three days a week, with an emphasis on weekends if possible. If you are interested, or if you know anyone who might be interested, please email me [Susie] at Tracy2123@comcast.net. Interviews will be held as soon as possible.
We think this is a creative, fun, challenging, interesting and fulfilling place to work, and we are confident that someone will quickly be hired to join our great team. Let us hear from you!!”

We are SO sorry to be losing Patti from our staff (she will be here through May 8th), but we wish her well in her new endeavors. She will still be around though, and maybe we can even entice her to continue to teach some classes!
Speaking of classes, if you are interested in a Judikins class, or class from MaryJo McGraw, please sign up soon! These classes are filling up quickly…don't miss out!
We also have a couple of spots left in the Friday evening, May 30th Beginning Prismacolor class from Terry Medaris. If you have ever wanted to learn how to really use your Prismacolor pencils, you should not miss this class. Terry is a premier artist, and he is such an incredible teacher. Terry will also bring a trunk show of his amazing stamps.
Agi Werner! Okay, I know that July is a ways off, but we are so thrilled that Agi Werner, former owner of, and famed designer for Paper Parachute in Portland has once again agreed to teach at Art 'n Soul. Do not miss your chance to take these incredible classes.
Saturday, July 26, 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. “LAYER X LAYER” – Agi Werner
$30
Create cards that stand out from the crowd! Learn techniques that take your cards up a level. Make more that just a card – make cards to treasure one layer at a time.
Saturday, July 26, 2:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. “NOTICE-ABLE” – Agi Werner $30
Notes simply done and worthy of notice. Learn to send a note and add that special
touch to a Birthday note, a note of Thanks or a note just to say hello.
Rubbermoon stamps came in, but are going out again very fast! Some of these stamps are the wonderful images that we used on the mini-canvases. SO many of you have asked when we would get these in again.
