Copic Class: Shading with a Light Source

This class will cover how to shade images with a specific light source in mind. Class fee includes a shading hint tool, and 3 Copic Markers. I recommend the Intro class before this class, but if you are somewhat familiar with the shading techniques of the Copic markers then you should be okay to attend this class.
Date: March, 19
Time: 6:15 PM
Price: $25
Bring: Just bring the Copics you already own.

Copic Class: Intro Class
This class is the basic class. It will cover simple shading techniques including: 1 color shading, 2 color shading, 2 color gradient, and basic blender uses. If you are stuck on where to begin with your Copic Markers this is the class for you. Copic classes are held after hours, up-stairs to accommodate those that have trouble getting around.
Date: April, 2
Time: 6:15 PM
Price: $25

The sketch markers can be refilled for $1.49, check in for the prices of filling the other markers.

Here are two new collections from Fancy Pants. One each for boy and girl. Wishful Thinking is whimsical and fun. Great for those sweet girls, or even just a lovely day. This is a must have collection for all of us girls. Like Father Like Son is a perfect collection for the guys in your life. For any guy of any age you can find something that will work in this collection.

Just in from Paper Loft: Morning Rain and Dude. Dude is another great guy collection. Perfect for young to old. We even have a great sample in the store. Morning rain is just a fun collection that you can use for just about anything. Kids, summertime, gardening, vacation, this collection will cover them all.

For your 4th of July Scrapping needs we have got in some great collections from Reminisce. Stars & Stripes is brand new this year, and it is amazing! Full of stars and red, white and blue to make anything POP!! The Freedom Collection is a great collection to use for all of your Independence Day fun. Est. 1776 is a patriotic collection that is more subdued but it is no less amazing. It has some amazing patterns and some great colors. This paper would also be great for military and D.C. trips.

Christmas In July Kits

Here are the monthly kits. We decided to continue the Christmas in July theme and have released Christmas kits this time. These two layouts are great, and you can get ahead of the Christmas rush, or if you're like me you can catch up.


Don't forget we have a class and crop coming up next week. You won't want to miss out. Especially the crop. I think we may be persuaded to do some class previews if I have enough people!

This and That

Well it's new week and another update. (I hope to keep this up)

First up. Flower Soft! We have had a lot of requests for this stuff so we finally got it in. Flower Soft can give anything that extra 'fuzzy' look that regular flocking just can't. And it is perfect for an extra touch of softness on words, borders, and images.

More Reminisce. For Easter Reminisce brings us Happy Easter. This cute collection features adorable bunnies and sweet little chicks. This collection is definitely perfect for that Easter Sunday egg hunt. Also from Reminisce is Unwritten. This collection has great colors and it features peace signs, which seem to be coming back on the scene.

For those finishing touches we have some new printed die cuts from Paper House. Travel, outdoor, pirates, and more. And let's not forget the American Crafts Cardstock packs. Brights, pastels, harvest, romance, Christmas, winter and even black and white. These packs of solid cardstock are great, and when you have trouble matching any of your American Crafts paper you can probably find something in one of these collections.

New New New

Well it's been a while hasn't it.

I want to apologize to anyone who has been waiting for an update. I have lots of stuff to share since I've been away.

New Stuff!
In no particular order.

Lucky Me from Reminisce and Lucky Me from Little Yellow Bicycle. (This might be the first time that I have seen the same name by two different companies at the same time. Weird!) Well if you are a fan of Green, like me, you will absolutely love these two collections. Lucky Me from Reminisce features double-sided papers that are just plain fun. And Lucky Me from Little Yellow Bicycle has some great embellishments, not to mention those amazing papers! *Hint* Click on the collection to go purchase them in our online store!

And we have also gotten in some fun Spring stuff! First Hippity Hoppity from We R Memory Keepers. This is a limited edition Easter collection that is exclusive to Independent retail stores. So you better get it while you can. And while not brand new it's still note worthy, Flutter from Making Memories. Bright and fun are the best words to describe this collection. With tons of flowers and fluttery bugs this collection is definitely a must have for this Spring!

What would a big product update be without some My Mind's Eye? Well I have some fun collections to share with you! First Lush. This collection is gorgeous! Some of you may be reminded of a similar collection a few years back, and you are right. But I would take a look, because this is an amazing collection. Let's not forget Life Stories. This is a new addition to some of the amazing heritage collections out there. My favorite thing about this collection would have to be the journaling cards. They are perfect finishing touches for just about any page.

Lil' Robots from My Mind's Eye. Absolutely adorable! This is a new and unique collection of robots, perfect for little boys. And my new favorite from My Mind's Eye is Quite Contrary. Named after classic Nursery Rhyme lines this collection is just adorable! Perfect for any occasion too! Spring, summer, boy, girl, birthday and so much more!

Also from Reminisce we have some other much anticipated collections. First up Passport. Tons of new travel destinations! These cardstock stickers are great and we should have just about anywhere you want! Brazil, Chicago, England, Florence, Hollywood, Hong Kong, Maui, Niagra Falls, Spain, and The Rockies, just to name a few. And who can forget The Great Outdoors. This collection has something for all of your outdoor needs. From camo, to smores, to waterfalls, you will definitely find something to remember your trip. Also Real Sports. This collection includes football, basketball, baseball, bowling, swimming, golf, tennis, soccer, volleyball and softball. All with die cut papers and textured papers.

Brand new from Cosmo Cricket; Material Girl and Garden Variety. Material Girl is new for girls and just in time for those fun spring days! New clothes, picnics and more! Garden Variety as the name suggests is a new garden collection. And if you liked Early Bird you will probably like this collection too. Vegetables, fruits, fun patterns and bright colors make this collection a must have for the upcoming seasons.
