Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time...this fairy tale begins--using Graphic 45's Once Upon a Springtime, this book tells your story. The paper is exquisite and it was quite easy to go with the paper and make a typical mini-book of beautiful fairies. BUT I wanted to use this paper in a different way--I wanted to be able to tell a story--a story about life, love and family... because we all have a story to tell. 

Here are a few details:  the cover is handmade of canvas that is sewn and inked. There are 16 pages total pages with lots of places for photos and journaling. Fanciful fabrics and trims and beautiful quotes make this book one-of-a-kind. 

Have fun looking at the pictures--then sign up for the class. See you then!

A Little Update

Hello ladies!

We have been getting lots of emails, calls, and questions these past few weeks and we'd like to share some updates with you!

Last week we placed our first wholesale orders with some FAB scrapbooking companies!  It was so fun and exciting to see and pick out new paper lines.  Our first purchases are due to arrive next week and we are busy, busy, busy creating some AMAZING workshops for you.  We have also had fun creating some new CUSTOM surfaces for our first set of workshops!

We are finalizing details with our new venue and hope to be able to share that with you next week.  We will be teaching in the mid-cities area. 

You will be able to view all of our class offerings on this blog.  You will be able to sign up to come to one of our workshops, which will be taught creative buffet style (meaning that you can do any of our projects on any date we offer a class), OR you may purchase our workshops as a kit and will have access to pictures to finish your project on your own time.

Becca and I are also offering private events and parties.  We have had many requests for custom projects for groups of friends.  If you are interested in hosting a scrap event or would like a project for a party, please email us at aprilandbecca@gmail.com.

We will be posting our first classes in mid-January and will announce our venue and class dates soon!
