A Creative Weekend

I just wanted to remind everyone that we still have a weekend full of creative classes at MDW! Saturday Sheri will have an awesome technique class, full of great ideas and holiday themed tags! 10 techniques- how can you beat that?

Technique orama! with Sheri Need a revamp? Come learn 10 new tricks from Sheri for all your inks, paints, and paper. We will make a little tag book full of inspiration with handy how tos on the back. Bring ONE "how do you do that?" question for Sheri, and she will answer and demo in this class! ***UPDATE**** our tags will be Christmas Themed! perfect for gift wrapping!  Saturday, December 13, 2008, 12 - 2:30pm $28 Afterwards, at 3:00, I'll have my canvas class: Mini Painted Masterpiece with Casey It's time to pull out those paints again, play, and even get ready for the holidays, all in one class! Casey will show you NINE great paint and mixed media techniques (including one that she used on her pieces in the December/January issue of The Stampers' Sampler!) on NINE miniature canvases. The canvases can easily be finished with drawings, collage or embellishments for thoughtful holiday gifts or ornaments. All class participants will be able to stay for the Saturday night crop for FREE, and Casey will be there with her little bag of goodies to help you complete your masterpieces. You won't want to miss this one! $32 Saturday, December 13, 2008, 3 - 5pm And here's what we'll be doing: You'll be able to select your own paint colors, to coordinate with your decorations or home. These little cuties are so easy to embellish! Since it's the holidays, I'll have a few extra treats, too!  We have Sunday holiday hours, and Lisa, the Queen of Collage, the Viceroy of Vintage (okay, that one was a little cheesy) and published artist, will be holding her fabulous collage class on Sunday! You really don't want to miss this opportunity to create these beautiful art pieces! Canvas Collage part duex with Lisa Super! Lisa has fielded enough requests to repeat this fabulous class, so now you can! Come make a few unique last minute gifts or just "get your art on". Collage choices range from Whimsy to Holiday.  Haven't collaged in a while or maybe ever? This layered art form is addicting!
