(or at least go to THE STAMP ADDICT for the following great classes!)

(Class sizes are limited; call EARLY to reserve space)

Bleach Technique with Mulberry Paper & Lisa Bebi: Saturday, March 1, 10:00 AM - Noon. This technique lends itself well to organic type stamps, i.e. butterflies, dragonflies, flowers, tree sprigs, etc. The natural veins in the mulberry paper pick up the bleach & give the stamped image a special woodsy look. It's a simple & pure way to stamp!!!! Lisa has found another non-laundry use for Clorox! See a sample here! cost $15.00 + $1.00 for special supplies involved (total $16.00) *

Get Dramatic with Cheryl Outhier: Saturday, March 1, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM. Do you feel like your stamp work sometimes lacks something but can't quite put a finger on it? This is just the class for you! Under Cheryl's direction, you'll add drama & class to your art with embossing powders & layering. You'll see how these two simple techniques can turn your cards into an eye-popping event!! Can you say "wow!"? See a sample here! cost $15.00 *
