12x12 Prima Paintables Dream Canvas
Unleash the artist inside you. Come explore how to work with the Prima Paintables using different mediums. In this class you will use glimmer mist to create a beautifully layered canvas. Even beginners will be masterful painters after this class is done. All you need is to show up and get inspired by your own creativity. No two paintings will ever be the same but they will all be breathtaking. Please bring a 5x7 or 4x6 photo to class with you. Thank you for joining me on this journey and have a Scrappy Day." - Michelle Van Etten

WELCOMES
Debby Schuh
Saturday and Sunday, October 25th and 26th
Debby Schuh has been scrapbooking most of her life…she still has her scrapbook from when she was two years old! Her years as a school teacher and in the scrapbook industry have made her a sought-after teacher at CKU and scrapbook stores. She juggles working part time as a staff designer for Anna Griffin, Inc. with a busy travel schedule, teaching at events and stores across the country. Her designs have been published in Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers publications, as well as many other books and magazines.
As a child, Debby’s favorite books were interactive with hidden flaps and pockets that helped tell the story. She likes her scrapbooks to be thesame way so they are more interesting for people to “read.” She is known for designing mini album classes that include lots of techniques for those “Wow!” moments.
Debby lives near Buffalo, New York, with her husband and two college-age sons. You can read more about Debby on her blog at debbyschuh.typepad.com.

There are even little pop out doors and windows for your little ghosts and goblins to peek out of that you'll learn how to create. Your haunted house can also be filled with goodies to give as a gift or to spoil yourself!
