Upcoming classes for special events (including all four classes that will be taught at Scrap-a-Palooza and Scrapmania)...

It's a Beautiful Day, above. My Mind's Eye's Lost and Found collection with glittery accents makes for a sophisticated layout that would work for many themes or celebrations. Allison Davis, nationally-recognized designer and author of six volumes of Sketches for Scrapbooking, adds stylish touches for a layout you'll treasure forever. (The colors are much less yellow than the photos show -- more of a vintage cream with red and black accents!) Fee: $15

This class will be offered at the following special events (and will not be offered again at SG -- these are the only times you can take this class!), and you may begin signing up now...
-- Scrap-a-Palooza on Saturday, September 25;

My Friends Trio of Layouts, above. This collection of pages designed by BasicGrey and taught by Debbie Sanders, is perfect to showcase special moments with friends, both past and present. You'll use BasicGrey's Origins collection in greens, yellows, cream, brown and black to make one 2-page layout and two 1-page layouts. Materials include designer cardstock, coordinating die-cuts, rub-ons, and printed chipboard. Best of all, you'll have lots of treats left over to use on other projects. (The white area at the top of the top left layout is not part of the layout.) Fee: $22.
