Each year Tim Holtz makes the most beautiful detailed Christmas tags.  This is a wonderful way to learn how to use so many Ranger products that you can then turn around and use in your card making, layouts or home décor.  It would be so expensive to purchase every single stamp, die, embossing folder, ink pad, alcohol inks and so on…so we are having a workshop to make tags day 7-12. You’ll be able to use our supplies and tools as you learn these techniques.  Some tags have as many as 40+ steps to them.  Do not be overwhelmed…we will be here to walk you through each step so all levels of experience is very welcomed in this workshop.  You will walk away with 6 tags of art and the knowledge to be creative so your layouts and cards will have some “jazz” to them and have people saying to you “How did you do that?” as you smile and say … it was very easy.   Bring to class: heat tool, craft mat, TH Scissors, baby wipes, paper towels, craft knife, foam squares, sanding grid block, glue-n-seal, paper distresser, paint daubers (snow cap white, black, gold & silver), distress stickles picket fense & rock candy and glossy accents.  (craft supplies can be purchased at SNS prior to class or when you register)  Get 10% off all class supplies.

Saturday, March 3^rd:   Semi Annual Customer’s Garage Sale Day   10:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m.

If you have gently used or left over scrapbook or card making supplies to sell this is the best way to do so.  Customers reserve a 6’ table for $10 fee and we assign each person with a unique number to put on all their items.  We will set up and maintain the store the total of your sales will be presented to you in an in-store credit voucher to get something new.  Limit of 12 customers.  You can purchase more than one table if you have a lot of items to sell so they can all be displayed for buyer to view.  This is great for someone just starting out or to let your child purchase their own supplies (so they stay away from your stash).  Items normally for sale include: Cricut machines, cartridges, stamps, albums, embellishments, storage and organizational items, photo printers, cameras, slice machines and accessories, silhouette SD cutting machines and so much more.
