CMC New Class coming "All About Hair" Pre-Registration On Now

Suzanne Dean has done it again:-) She has a new class and it's All About Hair Class

Here is what Suzanne has to say:

(will debut by end of August---pre register below)

"This is a coloring class that focuses 110% on HAIR! Coloring hair can be stressful, frustrating and hard...for me I absolutely love it as I feel its always a new challenge. So in this class we will cover ALL KINDS of hair challenges including BIG HAIR, dread-locks, braids, pony-tails, boy's hair, and more!

Price: pre registration price is $45 (reg price is $50)

I will break it all down for you step by step with lots of tips along the way to apply to any image you may have! After you take this class you will be able to master coloring hair of any style or color!! We will also conquer lots of hair colors using BOTH Copic and TouchTwin markers...no worries either or both is fine to use, up to you!

I will use a mix of Copic and TouchTwin markers for this class...I will have an optional supply list up with links to images and a list of colors. I will have a list of Copic AND TouchTwin marker colors so you can pick & choose what you'd like to use."

If you would like to Sign up, Go HERE

Also don't forget CMC Online classes are still on sale


It is that time again...SUMMERTIME! Starting May 25th thru August 24th the CMC

Classroom will run its summertime sale! This means all my Copic Classes are marked down and some of the other instructors on the site will be marking their classes down as well!

Summer is a perfect time to delve into some crafting classes...lazy days coloring and crafting...can you imagine it? LOL and remember when you sign up you get 1 full year to do the class...starting when you decide...so if you want to buy classes now but wait to start until September...well you can do that too! Class starts once you sign into the classroom so you can wait as long as you like and still get your full year!!

Also if you bundle 4 or 5 Copic classes you get a better discount as well...usually you get $25 off of 4 Copic Classes or $30 off of all 5 Copic classes--that is a year-round deal. But for the summer sale you will get $30 off of 4 Copic Classes and $35 off of 5 Copic Classes!

Mindy's Magnolia Classes can also be bundled together for a discount ($100 for all 3)!

Have a great day everyone!

Hugs

Ice Cream Time!

Welcome to my Reminder post for the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge! To refresh everyone today the challenge that still has one week left is to add "Paper Piecing to your project:-)

I have no clue where my brains went this week, but I got so into coloring this cutie that I just kept coloring, finished the card, took the pics and this morning realized I hadn't added paper piecing~!! Soooooo I quickly decided the Ice Cream could use some dimension and paper pieced it!! "Sorry Tracy for being the bad child of the group this week ;-)

I used CC designs new image Swiss Pixie Ice Cream Lucy for my card, isn't she just too cute??

Below you can see that the way I like to paper piece is to color the image first, and then print it again and cut the image part I want to paper piece and this time I popped it up for dimension with a tiny piece of foam dot. It's plain Bazzill Cardstock that I added Copic markers to for the sprinkles.

She is colored with Copic Markers and Shin Han twin touch markers

Now remember you have a week left to join in the fun

Here's what you need to know:

• Your project must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store. It will be deleted if not.
