Upcoming Classes, Events, and More!

Here's everything I'm doing, everywhere I'll be until the end of June! All of my classes are to promote Scrapbook Royalty and the charities which we support.

Please join me for these fun classes!!

We'll be making a super cute banner as our make n take at the crop!! This class was designed for Scrapbook Royalty so I am going to donate a portion of the class to them. The way I do this particular class is that you choose all your embellies and paper from a big stack I have. You can use your own items too but it is still the same price for the class. The only thing that is pre-cut are the pennants–the rest of it you'll be cutting in class. I will also set up an embellie bar so you can choose ribbon, tulle, flowers, buttons, sequins shapes like flowers and stars, Making Memories epoxy shapes, and chipboard goodies to fit the theme of your banner!

The class includes 5 pennants. If you want a longer word you can buy additional pennants (and decorate them with all the goodies I bring) for $2 each, all of which will be donated to Scrapbook Royalty. I will have chipboard letters you can choose from as well as my Silhouette which we can use to cut letters from any font I have on my laptop.
