Can you tell we are 'Longing for Spring'?

These colors will definitely put you in the mood!

Our suggested colors are:

Fuschia . . . Sprout . . . Canary

It's a bittersweet week as we say farewell to two ladies

who have brought so much inspiration to you.

Stacy & Jocelyn

Stacy came to us as a Private Blend Designer

and continued on the journey for over a year.

Jocelyn joined us this past term & has inspired many

of our players to 'go digital'.

We wish both of these friends the best as they continue on

in their creative journeys and as they simply 'do' life.

This week, we welcome back

a very fun sponsor

Our interactive and in-depth courses are instructor led and filled with wonderful projects and techniques to help you get the most out of your supplies. Our Spring Semester is just beginning with over 100 workshop classes to choose from.We have just announced the addition of our Library category! The Library features retired classes at 40-50% off their original price. So far we had added 20 classes with more to come in the spring. They range from Cricut classes to mixed media to card making and everything in between. A little something for everyone! Here's a sampling of our Workshop classes:

Artful Cards
Baby Shower Ensemble
Embossing Enamels

and more!

We are excited to be sponsoring The Play Date Cafe. You can view our entire class list on our website at My Creative Classroom. You can also view classes on our Facebook Page too!
