See My New Blogspot as of August 12, 2011 for Classes at Hobby Lobby

Since I am now teaching craft classes on my own, I have set up a new blogspot with a shorter name that is easier to remember, hopefully. It is AnnGCrafts.blogspot.com. Of course, AnnsCrafts was already taken, although not active. I really wish I could have had that blog name........oh well.

If you look at http://AnnGCrafts.blogspot.com from now on, you will get up to date information on my classes that I teach in the Hobby Lobby classroom in the Columbia store. The photos you see in the slideshow at the top of the new blog are photos of the class projects we will be making.

Hobby Lobby schedule of classes will be posted shortly

Hi Everyone. I've given my notice at Michaels, so August 25 is my last class there. In the meantime, I've given a full schedule of classes to the lady in charge of scheduling the classroom at Hobby Lobby and once she confirms the room's availability on the days I've chosen, I will post my schedule of classes on my blogspot, which I am hoping will be in a day or two.

Do you like Tim Holtz products? Let me know yes or no by commenting below. That will determine whether I offer a lot of Tim's classes or not in the next few months. I really need your input though, so please leave comments for me. Thank you.

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Techniques Class at Hobby Lobby

Learn 4 different Tim Holtz / Ranger Distress Ink techniques while making 4 tags that can go in the paper bag mini album which is a class coming up..... see details below. These tags can go on cards, be used alone, or in mini albums with journaling paper on the back. Very fun to make.

Tim Holtz travel paper bag mini album

Tim Holtz embellishments and paper and some paper from Michaels makes this paper bag mini album for recording your trip a sure hit. Filled with journaling files, tags and places to put photos and tickets from your trip, the mini album stores it all. Class date and time to follow.

Paper Bag Mini Album -- Class coming soon to a location near you!

This paper bag mini album was made using My Mind's Eye paper........keep watching for the next mini album to follow which will be a travel mini album with Tim Holtz products. This class will be a 2 part class since it takes a while to cut all the tags and embellish the album, but boy is it worth it when it is finished. Haven't decided on the dates yet, but will post soon and let you know. It will be in September.

Halloween cards and Mini Treat Bags

If you click on the cards and mini treat bags, it will open a bigger image.........this is a class I will be teaching at Hobby Lobby on Monday, August 15. It will start promptly at 5:30 and run until 7:30pm. Email me by 8/14 to reserve your spot. Cost is $10 as an introductory price for my new classes. Cash payment due the night of the class. All materials provided, you just need to bring scissors and your roller type adhesive. We will be using the Spellbinders beaded circle on the Grand Calibur and lots of EK Success and Martha Stewart craft punches. Class size is limited so email me today.

Private classes being offered -- will come to your house or school

If you see any of the crafts on my blog but can't make it to my classes, I will come to your house within a reaonable distance from Columbia and show you how to make any of these items or something different that you have in mind. I do need to ask that you have at least two other people though so there is a total of 3 people taking the class. The fee is $25 per person,but the price goes down the more people you have, and depending on the craft being taught, may include some supplies.

I can bring my Cricut, Cuttlebug, Spellbinders Grand Calibur, whatever you need to complete your craft project. I also have 6 scoring boards if you have a larger group that would like to do a class. Just email me with your thought and ideas, and we can put together a class.

Giant medallions class Thurs. 8/11 at Ellicott City Michaels
