July Tags class
As promised here is the information about the second class I will be teaching this week. The July Tag class will be on Thursday July 18th from 6-8 pm at Scrap That
526 Main Street
I decided I liked steampunk this week I guess because that is what all three tags turned out looking like. The middle and right side tag is my take on two of the Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2013. I really enjoy making these tags and hope the students will too!

Tag Class
I am teaching two classes this week at Scrap That in Norman and wanted to get the word out cause I was told yesterday I am just not posting enough again! OMG! I promise to do better!
On the third Wednesday of each month we are going to start having a class called What's Up Wednesday to teach everyone how to use some of those awesome goodies they are buying at the store. Yes...that was a brayer not a crimper you bought the other day...you know who you are! Anyway the class is at 6 pm so feel free to drop by if you would like to learn something about embossing/debossing this month. We are going to make a card tag that I also will be teaching in the Tags class on Thursday night.
This months tags class is all about travel and I used several of the Tim Holtz stamp sets to create 3 tags of various sizes.
The first tag is a gigantic #12 tag made with stamps from TH CMS 128 Road trip. I love this set with the big broad tire tracks and that old car. I can remember traveling Route 66 to get home from California when I was a kid so it has some significance to me. I made the hang down tag from a piece of the Destinations paper...an Oklahoma tag!
The second one is a #8 tag using the TH CMS 127 On the Railroad. This a a huge locomotive image and it is so detailed and fun to play with! I love the tracks, the railroad crossing sign...so fun.
TH CMS 124 Warehouse District the mini version of the Air Travel stamps was used on the third and final tag. I love that these stamps come in a smaller size perfect for tags. Once again I used a #12 tag and folded it to make a card and embossed it with a texture fade. I am going to use this tag/card for the What's Up Wednesday class to show dry embossing using folders vs wet embossing using a heat set embossing powder.
Okay hope this works as a post for today! Come play with us this week....Sharron says it is a group therapy session with lots of crafting, talking, and laughing. Call 310-3100 to save your seat!

It was a fun and crafty weekend!
Yes, yes it was. I am actually glad to be at home and not out and about running around cause I am really a home body at heart and this has been a busy week running Heather to her surgery and follow up on Tuesday and Wednesday and then doing something that was craft related for hours and hours each day the rest of the week.
It started on Thursday for me when I taught a tag making class making Easter tags with a group of women at Scrap That in Norman! I taught 3 tags using Tim Holtz style techniques, stamps, and threw in a few 'extras' that made sure we had some fun. Everyone seemed happy with their tags and said that they would book again next month for the 'group therapy!'
I think this purplish pink tag is a favorite! I love the colored Easter egg popped up and given a 3d effect!
You can see the 3rd tag in this post...it was the furry one that my friend dubbed as creepy and since she took the class I had to cut her a paper rabbit out of a Starbucks corrugated cup cozy!
Friday was the painting class with Heather and the rest of the class mates at Scrap That! I posted on that class in a previous post but I am so proud of my painting I am reposting it here!
Saturday was an all day crop at Scrap That! where 28 women got together to visit and share fun time doing what they like to do best...craft and gossip! We all had projects going that were different so when you needed to exercise a bit we would wander around and check out what the next tables were doing.

| Heather was checking her text messages here but spent the day painting some canvases for her painting classes next month. If you are interested contact Scrap That! at 310-3400 to sign up. |
I was busy trying to get some stuff
done for classes next month too. I was having brain issues though and
seemed to throw more stuff in the trash then I got accomplished! I hate
it when I do that so I spent a bit more time wandering
around trying to get motivated to create then I did actually making
anything. I did manage to finish another month in the Graphic 45 calendar pages!
Anyway it was a good weekend but I am glad it is Sunday evening and a day of rest!

Tags Class
Everyone asks me what I do with all the tags I make and why I even make them. Tags are like mini pieces of art and I do all sorts of things with them! I give them as gifts, use them as cards, hang them on the wall, use them on canvases etc. etc. etc.....
I have agreed to start up my monthly tag classes at Scrap That in Norman again starting Thursday 1/31 and the class will be every month on the 3rd Thursday of the month from 6-8 pm. Cost is $15. There is a basic kit that you will need to get but you don't have to have it all at once and we will have some things that you will be able to use as you build your tools up! I will be doing mostly a lot of Tim Holtz style tags so I will put a list at the bottom of things absolutely necessary to have to do tags.
The tags we will be making will be for Valentines Day swapping and are simple enough to start off your tag making journey.
I will be teaching basic stamping techniques, spraying inks, distressing cardstock, layout and whatever else happens to crop up in class. I will have the die cuts all ready cut and embossed and if you are interested we can use some class time to learn about die cutting, embossing, etc another class.
What you need in a basic kit:
