'Scrapping on the Orient Express' classes, finally!

• Queen Bee Card Set, above. Designed by Stacey Atchley, author of the popular Sketches for Cardmaking book, this set of five cards is fit for a queen. Pink Paislee's Queen Bee paper collection provides a regal touch, and special accents include Prima mini-roses, Maya Road pearl stick pins, American Crafts glitter buttons, Memory Thread, and more. Teacher: Debbie Sanders. Fee: $20.

• Back to School layout, above. Most everyone has a favorite student, and this two-page layout is just waiting for photos of school fun. Crate Paper’s new School Spirit collection features red, gold, aqua, orange, and green, and the bright designs will work for both boys and girls. The coordinating sheet of stickers you’ll use even has a mini-grade card you can use for real grades or for journaling. Teacher: Allison Davis. Fee: $15

• Tis the Season layout, above. With the holidays just around the corner, having a completed layout ready for family photos can be one thing you check off your to-do list. Traditional Christmas colors of red, pine green and creamy white take center stage in My Mind’s Eye’s Holly Jolly collection, and adds a touch of festive charm to this two-page layout. Handstitching adds homey accents, and a 12x12 sheet of die-cuts provides embellishments like a Christmas countdown, reindeer, and holly. Teacher: Allison Davis. Fee: $15

• My Friends Trio of Layouts, above. This collection of pages 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. Teacher: Debbie Sanders. Fee: $22

These are the four classes that will be offered at our two weekend retreats in Branson, and if you are attending, you can go ahead and register now, or you can wait until the retreat. We don't normally do sign-ups at the retreat, but since we've been rather tardy getting things ready for you to view, we're going to break our own rule! I can't wait...I'm going to do some scrapbooking myself both weekends!
