Debbie Bick (the owner) asked for something extra artsy for her customers.
I had heard that "inchies" were really popular there, so I wanted to to be sure to incorporate some in the class.
Here's what we'll be creating in an 8 inch square BLACK frame.
This class uses lots of products. The background is made with distress inks & Perfect Pearls. Just a little shine adds a lot to the look.
We'll use studio490 stamps, tim's stamps and other Stampers Anonymous rubber too.
We'll be stamping on grungeboard and using chipboard.
And speaking of chipboard...here's a little something I figured out...
I LOVE Maya Road's foundations tin. I've probably used up about 20 tins myself. Each tin has rectangles, squares, circles & ovals. They are perfect for framing a saying & a whole lot of other things too...
The circles make fun flowers...You probably KNEW that was coming.....
I'm way too predictable.
Anyway...
I NEEDED brackets for this piece, but they had to be simple & small. Checked my stash...NOTHING...
SO...............this...
made this..............GREAT size & shape...I LOVE it when the lightbulb is on full force, which is not every day... unfortunately.
I've lectured before to look @ the possibilities of what something COULD be...so I took my own advice here.
Here's a better look @ those "inchies". I have to admit...small is fun, but TINY is a TOTAL blast!
Now I need to find more frames like this so we can repeat this class in other places. I've completely used up my stash
of these cool 8 x 8's.
***Any ideas???***
I'm so looking foreward to seeing Sharon & Lisa again and I can't wait to meet some new art friends too.

Oops...almost forgot...one more thing...I'm still thinking about the possibility of making extra class kits & having them available here.
