Just exactly what is Art Journaling you ask? Art journaling is about the creative process of pulling together color, words and images, as YOU wish, on a page. Unlike many other forms of art, it is not about the outcome. It is about YOUR personal experience or story! This can explore your day-to-day life, personal growth issues, life changing events or even simply just an exploration of working with new artistic mediums. Whatever you want to record is what your Art Journaling will be about! This is a basic technique class. The content of the class will be up to you although Nonnie will provide information, prompts, samples and tips/tricks on how to get started, etc. Art Journaling 101 will cover: ~Common book structure ~Types of Content ~Surface prep ~Beginning a small journal In this first class you will work with gel medium, acrylic paints and Gesso. This will be the first of 3 technique classes! It is highly recommended that you take all 3 of the classes, in order, to achieve your desired journaling results. Art Journaling 202 will cover: ~Collage ~Stamping ~Doodling Art Journaling 303 will cover: ~Using melted wax in your work ~Embellishments Remember this is all about you - your style, your technique, your life!

Stamping 101 with Nonnie ($20)Saturday, February 19, 2011
10:30am-12:30pm RUBBER STAMPING - NOT JUST FOR CARDMAKERS ANYMORE! Rubberstamping has grown in popularity among crafters, just as scrapbooking has. Many rubber stamps can be used on a scrapbook page just because of their versatility, ease of use and repeatability (I love this word!!). Rubber stamped images can be simple or elaborate, sophisticated or fun. Used once on a page or repeatedly, a rubber stamp makes a great, inexpensive page decoration. Come learn, create and play with Nonnie as she shows you how to "step up" your crafting and take it to the next level! You will start out by learning about the different inks and 3 kinds of stamps! You will do some basic stamping and learn how to heat emboss with that little thing that LOOKS like a hair dryer - but isn't!! You will be doing cards, not scrapbook pages - because we all know just how different our style of crafting can be but the techniques you learn can be applied to pages, mini books, tags and much, much more! Already know how to stamp and heat emboss? Just come make the cards cuz they are cute!!!! (please bring your basic tool kit and craft mat (if you have one) to this class)  2011 Memorabilia Class with Nonnie! ($40)Thursday, February 17, 2011
