A Bit of a Mess......

My blog is sort of messed up right now.  Sorry!  Please be patient with me while we (okay, mostly Rick) get it sorted out and back to running and looking like we'd like it to.  Stay tuned.....

New class-Scripture cards

I don't have pictures yet, but I'm putting up this class just the same. I'll post pics asap.

I'm doing a class next Friday morning (August 27 @ 9 a.m.). We'll do three designs, 3 cards and envelopes each. It will feature Our Daily Bread and Penny Black stamps. You can call the store to sign up. I'll also try and get it up on the website so you can sign up there, as well.

Class space is limited, first come, first serve.

I'll post again in a day or so with what you need to bring.

Yeah! I'm glad to be doing classes again, hope to see you.

A six pack of happiness....... or something

My son works in a great restaurant (Poppy's on the river, try it!) and brings home these six packs of exotic beers. I started eyeing all those six packs (they ARE made of paper!!) and thought they might make a fun project. So I started by sanding and painting the carton with acrylic paints.
I used Claudine Hellmuth's Studio line of paints. I stamped Tim Holtz super large flourish in alabaster chalk ink.

And let the embellishment begin! This one will house jars and spray bottles on my desk.

I made another one for a friend who came and stayed with us in June. I put a water bottle, a bottle of lotion, a rolled up T-shirt and some other things in the sections for her for a hostess gift.

Interested in a class? Call the store..... we'll make it happen!

New a New Post

Wow, my blog is way out of date! Things have been crazy, but I'll put up some new stuff tomorrow. I've been working on some new projects, new cards and putting together ideas for classes. I've got a few thing up my sleeve....... Woo hoo!!

So that's it. Sleepy girl. Check me out tomorrow.

Webster's Pages Tag Booklet

So, this strange journey began with a tag booklet I made with toliet paper rolls. Truly!! It was so much fun to see the reaction when I told people what they were made with. I did a quick impromptu class using this design, but we couldn't come up with that many TP rolls that quickly, so we improvised by making our own. Using, of course, Webster's Pages.
Here's a pic of the inside of the booklet.

I'm offering this booklet as a class Friday morning, August 6 @ 9 a.m. Space is limited, so call the store to sign up @ 970-577-1415 or email me @ cheryl@RMMemories.com. Hope to see you there!

Tag Booklet

Lovely Monday morning! Three new friends came in and we did a sort of spontaneous class making a tag booklet. We used B Line and Stamper's Anonymous (Holtzie) stamps, Webster's Pages and bound them with a Bind-it-All machine. What fun!

Stampers are the NICEST people. Kay did a beautiful job on her booklet, creating, changing and rearranging all the way. Love creative people. Love 'em.

Besty showed herself to be a true artist. She put her own flair on Webster's Pages, preferring the plainest front to her booklet and then making it her own.

Lois finished her booklet and went right to work on paper pine needles to accent her tiny pine cones she found in her friend's yard. I like this girl!

This is Betsy's cover to her tag booklet, ready for binding. Blogger would only let me load 5 pics, for some reason, so I'll post again tomorrow and show the finished booklet they had for their example. Theirs ended up looking nothing like mine which I LOVE. It so cool to take a basket of ingredients and make your own unique art. I'm working this up for a class in the near future, so stay tuned......
