BURSTING WITH FUN!!!!

 

This group of ladies 

(plus me-I had to leave early)

had a BLAST learning all about

Ken Oliver's Color Burst inks.

 

A TINY bit of color burst

mixed with water and you have

MAGIC!!!!

Ken showed everyone the proper technique

for getting the ink pigments out of

the little bottles.

Big smiles all around 

as Ken demonstrates the

fabulous techniques!

A captive audience

surrounded Ken as he

explained all of the things

we were doing during the class.

Look at those happy girls!!!

We learned so much from Ken.

He is a great teacher and we cannot

wait for him to visit again!

These lovely little bottles are what

all of the fuss is about!

The ladies loved them, so

Cat has ordered more!

 

JUNKSPIRATION CREATIVE FUN

 

Saturday was our very first

JUNKSPIRATION

class.

What is Junkspiration?

It is when you turn "junk" into art!

 

Cat gave us the kits and

turned us loose with 

a few instructions.

 

Nanci speedily got her shutters painted

and ready for the next step.

She is going to use hers standing up like this.

Love her chalkboard art

with the Marvy Uchida bistro chalk markers!

 

LaRue created this beauty.

Love how she did the Tim Holtz alcohol inks on the metal!

This is Selena's.

She used some great chunky twine on her letters.

LOVED how she put the knob in the middle of the "o".
 

This is Steph's and she is adding some ribbon.
Steph also used a couple of Canvas Corp's
burlap flowers in coordinating colors
to embellish her project.

 

This is mine.

Obviously, I'm going to

use it in the kitchen!
I used a cow and chicken
from Ray's Lazer and he is
working on the rooster for me!

We all had a blast and

most of us were anxious for

Ken Oliver's class on Sunday.

Check back tomorrow

for pictures from that fun day!

IT WAS CRAZINESS!!!

Saturday it was

Collection Kit

CRAZINESS!!

 

But the craziness quieted down when

Cat got the markers out and the ladies

got busy coloring.

 

It was a coloring

PARTY!!!!

 

Look at that pretty flower she is coloring!

 They had so much fun coloring their flowers.

 Coloring time was over and then it was back

to work.

 Now it is time to cut and paste!

 It was a room full of great students.

 Then it was time to 

FUSSY CUT!

 

The room got quiet again as they all concentrated

on their fussy cutting.

 

Cutting and cutting and cutting!

At the end of the day the ladies had created some

beautiful layouts and 

had a lot of fun.

 

 

 

BIBLE JOURNALING CLASS

 

 Saturday night was our first Bible journaling class

and it was a FULL house.

 

And just as we have each been made unique,

 

everyone's  journaling was beautifully unique.

 There was lots of fellowship

(aka visiting, yakking...etc)

 and checking out everyone's handywork.

If you don't want to journal in a 

Bible, you can use an art journal,

hymnal, or whatever you choose.

 

 Everyone was smiling and having a good time.

 All the while, they were creating beautiful

artwork in their Bible or other book.

 People learned to use new mediums

and how much fun gelatos are!

It's like finger painting!!!

 Supplies and ideas were shared by all.

 But most of all, everyone

left inspired.

Cat asked when we would like to meet and how often.

It was decided that we would meet 

at 6:00 p.m. the second Saturday of each month.

I hope you can join us next month!
