Two New Classes at Pizzaz It!

There are two classes at Pizazz It! Scrapbooks I would like for you to be aware of.

Bo Bunny Pocket Watch Album:  $35
Saturday, May 21, 11am-1pm

This is a fantastic mini album class.  Not only do you get the cool pocket watch album with acrylic pages and special die cut shapes, but you get an ENTIRE sheet of 12x12 chipboard adhesive die cuts plus lots of other cool embellishments.  This project will be easily completed in the allotted class time because all the pocket watch pages are pre-finished!!  This project would make an awesome Father's Day gift, too.  The album and chipboard pieces alone retail for $17, so this class is a great value at $35.  Class kits will be available to purchase soon if you are not interested in taking the class but want a kit only.  Here is a photo of the cover and a few inside sample pages:

Acrylic Album Crop:  Free!  

Saturday, May 21, 2:30-4:30pm

Did you take Sally Lynn MacDonald's acrylic album class last March 2010 and did not get your project finished?  Bring your incomplete project to Pizazz It and we will finish it off together.  Step by step instructions provided and a completed project will be on display.  This class is only for those who took Sally Lynn's class last March and already have a class project kit.  Additional products will not be provided but the Copic Airbrush System and markers will be available for use.

September Copic Marker Club

Hey all you Copic marker fans!  Here are this month's cards.  We will be using the fabulous Stampendous Fresh Fruit set we used waaaaay back in April.  This month we will be focusing on the citrus fruits.  Please note the class is Sunday, September 26 from 1-3pm only.  There will not be a 3-5pm class this month.

Markers needed for this class:  YR02, YR04, YR07, YG03, YG91, Y21

Optional pens/markers you might want to bring are: Uniball Signo white gel pen, Spica clear glitter pen, Copic medium brown marker (I used E37)

Please be sure to bring adhesive, pop dots and scissors.  Shoot me an email if you have any questions!!  I look forward to seeing everyone in class.
 

The "Orange you sweet!" card was designed by the talented Kimberly Crawford.  I loved it so much I wanted to incorporate for this class.

I normally don't prep the inside of cards for classes, however, I really wanted to do something special for this card.  I love how the negative punched swirls and flowers from the front of the card really set off the sentiment.  Class participants will get both "....make lemonade!" and (my personal favorite) "...make a lemon drop martini!" sentiments.

September Pizazz It! Scrapbook Kits

Our kit of the month features the lovely papers from Scribble Scrabble.  These papers have a great weight to them and a bit of a vintage feel.  Also in this kit you get a very special item...a Copic marker!!!  I used this marker on my layouts in several ways:  color twine, clear gems, flowers, alphabets and made spatters.  They are so versatile!  Copic makers are different than typical water based makers, which you probably already have at home, in the following ways:

- Alcohol based ink so you can color non-porous materials

- Guaranteed for 3 years
- Can be stored vertically or horizontally
- Nibs are made to last, but are replaceable if needed
- The company has been around for 25 years and they never change the formula of their colors
- Over 334 colors to choose from
- Alcohol based ink allows blending and layering colors but won't pill or tear paper

Because they are refillable at only $1.50, this will be the last marker you will ever have to buy.  I am totally hooked on them!

OK, enough about the markers, lets get on to the kit.  Here is the kit:

And here are some sneak peeks.

Completed layouts can be viewed in the store.  There were only a few extra kits made so if you missed out be sure to sign up to be a member of the Kit of the Month to be guaranteed a kit.
