Tuesday's Layout Class

I couldn't decide if I should post pictures of the layouts or not, because the class is already full. (yeah, they are that fabulous) But, thought I would go ahead, because they really are cool and if there is enough interest, we'll just do it again!

The collection pack is from Authentique, called "Loyal"...and Chelsea really made these papers pop on the layouts she created with it. 

I really like the blue and green color combination and think it just aches to be used for Summer photos...picnics, camping, front yard, back yard, boating, fishing, swimming. The colors give you the "feel" of being outside (blue sky, green grass/trees) so they totally work for summertime photos. They are masculine enough for little boy pages, and big boy pages, too! So versatile and fun!

So anyway....the class is full for June 5th, but if you want in on the fun, we will do it again on Tuesday, June 12th.  Details are below.

Please contact me by Tuesday, June 5th if you would like to take this class. I will get more paper ordered and we'll do it again! (if you can't make the class, but would like the Collection Kit, let me know by the 5th also, and I can order some for you)

"Loyal" Layout Class

Date: June 12th

Time: 6-9 p.m.

Cost: $22

Bring: Paper trimmer, scissors, adhesive, pop dots.

***Please contact me by Tuesday, June 5th if you are interested in doing this class so I can get the paper ordered*** Call 721-7529 or Email scrapandplay@rushmore.com

Oh...here are the layouts...I almost forgot to add the pictures!

They are so fun! I love them...could look at them all day long. :o)

What's new?

Well, let me tell you! There are some new dies from Lifestyle Crafts/QuickCuts.... a nesting paisley die set and a Berry Container set.

Normally, I wouldn't have been too excited about a paisley die set, but then I saw what was being done with them...then I was hooked! Birds! How cute are these birds made from the paisley dies? I love them! Here is a great blog post on how to make them, and check out the great wedding card made with them, too!

Here is a close-up of the Berry Container. 

These are soooo easy to put together and make a great way to present a gift to someone special. I decided to fill mine with candy from Zoom Soda & Candy (it's awesome having a candy store right next door!) One of my birdies decided he wanted to nest in my container. :o)

That's all I have for now, "peeps"...take good care and have a fabulous weekend!!

New Store Hours

We are going to try something new at the Playground during the summer months.

Starting Tuesday, May 15th, the new hours will be from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM Tuesday through Friday. Saturday hours will remain the same, and we will still be closed Sunday and Monday. 

The evenings are so beautiful downtown, people are out and about and I am hoping this will give those that work 9 to 5 a chance to come in after work.

New in the store

Bo Bunny's Vintage Double Dot 

It's yumm-a-licious! I love the colors, the texture and the weight of this paper. I think this line will become a staple for both my scrapping and card making. Just a few colors in stock right now, but will be getting them alllll as soon as possible!! 

Scor Tape in 2" and 2 1/2"

I know, it sounds big honkin', and it is....but I didn't know how badly I needed it until I was told how wonderful it works to hold rosettes down, or how it holds burlap together so you can use a die cut on it to make fun burlap flowers!  It's going fast, so grab it before it's gone.

Have a great week and I hope to see you soon!!

Step Cards and Just Fabulous

Step Cards Class
Step CARDS...not KIDS. Both are fascinating...but we are doing the Step CARDS for class this Saturday. I have fallen in love with step cards. Once you get the cutting and scoring down, you can switch up the colors and embellishments and the possibilities are endless.

I love endless possibilities.

Here are the 3 cards we will be making on Saturday:

The one on the left is a Dresser Side Step Card, the center card is a Center Step Card, and the one on the right is a basic Side Step Card. Along with learning these 3 different "Step" cards, I will be sneaking in a quick watercoloring technique and you will get to try out the Cover A Card stamps and the big honkin' MegaMount block from Impression Obsession. 

FUSSY CUT ALERT: See those donuts and butterflies? Yep, we will be cutting those out with scissors...just lettin' ya know ahead of time. ;o)

Here's the details:
