Pull It! 4 Card Class

Here's the February card class I'll be teaching at Roberts. This class is designed for all abilities. If you're starting out, I'm there to help and if you're a veteran here's a few new ideas. A few things that we'll be doing in this class is using the iRock tool, using cricut cut-outs, learn some new "pull cards" where you pull them and you get a surprise or a spot to jot a note. You'll learn how to make and customize your own rub-ons and how to make a pretty frame...just to note a few.

Taught at Roberts craft stores in Utah:

Centerville: Thursday, February 10th 6:30-8:30pm

Clinton: Saturday, February 12th noon-10am

Sandy: Friday, February 18th 7-9pm

South Jordan: Saturday, February 19th 10-noon

Class instruction and material cost is $20.

Email me at sparetymeprojects@gmail.com to sign up or if you have any questions.

Materials to bring:

• liquid glue (I like Tombo--the one with the 2 green lids and white body)
• paper cutter & scissors

Play dough cookies

Just try and tell me that these aren't the prettiest cookies eVeR! I was looking for a recipe to make regular play dough for the kids and ran into this and they looked oh so pretty online that I printed it off and let it collect dust for awhile. Well, lo and behold, they are not only pretty BUT they taste pretty good too. I attribute that to the tad of cream cheese that's in the recipe. Click here for the recipe.

GO DIMENSIONAL Card Class

Here is the card class that I'll be teaching in January 2011.

Add some life to your cards by having them stand on their own. Techniques you will learn are window fold technique, scoring to create dimension, accordion flowers, glassy accents, and much more. Each of the cards will fit into an A2 envelope and then pop open to stand on it's own. These work GREAT as birthday cards and get well cards for people to display on their tables.

Cost: $20 class and materials

Extra packet: $12 (will ship for additional $5)

The Best Hair Gel!!!

So....I have 2 little boys that have hair that sticks up pretty good..if that's the look you're going for. One of the boys has really wirey hair and some good cowlicks! I have tried a vast quantity of different hair gels. But guys and girls! I have found the answer! See below. It's awesome. No hairspray needed, it makes their hair stay through and throughout the day regardless of the activity! I don't use a ton on the 1 year old but enough to hold that hair up in the front and down in the back. Seriously, go get this stuff. You can find it at your local grocery store/Target/Walmart etc. It was only $5.99. BUT make sure you get exactly what is below. Yellow tube, silver top, spiking glue. The Got 2 be Glued brand has a ton of products!
