Full lineup of paperEd Classes

paperEd is the education program designed by the genuii at Michael's to spread the papercrafting love. I'm a huge fan. You can play with just about any technique you've been afraid to try, test drive those die cutting machines you've been deciding on, or make a lovely home decor piece. Here's the full lineup of the classes that I can offer at Michaels. I try to make sure to include a card class, a scrapbook page class, a mini album or decor class at least one crop night, and a smash class every month. I also put in whatever else my schedule can afford.

As soon as we are consistently filling seats in classes, I'll be scheduling more.....

Rest of December and January class calendars

Hi folks!

Here's the calendar for the rest of December, and the month of January.  Sorry they are late, like the rest of the world, the beginning of December kind of got away from me. Need something to look forward to?? PaperEd is putting out several new classes in February!  Watch for them on the February calendar.

As always, if you are interested in a particular topic or kind of  class, let me know. I'm always willing to add the classes that people are most interested in. I'll post a list of the complete paperEd lineup in a separate post, so that you know what there is to choose from. :-)

October and November class schedule

OK, so by now some of you are aware that I started scheduling scrapbooking classes at our local Michael's craft store. (can we say....dream job, anyone?) NOW, I say schedule, because as of yet, no one has actually signed up for any classes, and therefore I haven't actually taught any classes. :-) The day will come, I'm sure.

You enroll in classes by calling the store, or by visiting the cashier and asking for the class. Costs vary some - and you provide supplies from your stash. When in doubt about supplies CALL ME. Use things that appeal to you or you already have, not necessarily what is listed on the class syllabus. Bring a basic tool kit (trimmer, scissors, adhesive, black pen) and whatever else you think you might need. The instructor, or the the classroom will provide any remaining tools.

NOTE: The instructor provides prizes to all who register and come to class. You never know what that might be!

Again, call me if you have any questions at all. Not sure what the syllabus means? Come anyway....we can work out things so your projects get made. Special requests for classes? Let me know that, too! :-) Hope to see you there!  --vb
