Well finally – here it is …. The class schedule for May. We certainly hope that you will feel it was worth the wait with plenty of new classes to tempt you!!

Scrapbooking
We have plenty of new scrapbooking classes on the schedule in a whole range of different styles. Sue has a lovely single layout featuring the beautiful Ambrosia papers. Rachel and Barbara recently attended a workshop by Jane Tregenza for retailers and have two fabulous different Graphic 45 Layouts that are sure to be popular. For those who like something a little simpler there are some great layout featuring the new papers form Authentique and Cosmo Cricket.

Card-Making
We have lots to tempt our card-makers this month including a brand new class showing you how to use the new Distress Markers that are sooooo popular right now!! There is also an amazing Steampunk Suitcase by Barbara that is filled with little mini cards that would make a beautiful gift. We also have a new teacher – Robyn Wood who formerly taught at Stamp Art Studio. Robyn is incredibly talented and will be starting off with a great set of divine vintage inspired cards. For those of you who need to make a lot of cards in a hurry we have 6 Cards in a Snap – where we make 6 fast cards that still look stylish using a set of 6 x6 papers. There are also a range of interactive card classes including an incredible Alice in Wonderland inspired card by Sue Smyth and a Card that looks deceptively like a book by Barbara.
Rachel has some great British inspired cards in which she shows you some great colouring techniques too.

Off The Page
We have plenty of new ideas to inspire you – including some great mini photo displays designed for baby boys and girls as well as a wall hanging using some of the latest papers from Basic Grey.
