Class this Saturday

Join us this Saturday, May 12, from 1-3 for an Art Journal/Altered Book class featuring Dyan Reaveley's stencils and Dylusions Ink Sprays.  In the class, you will receive a hardback book and learn how Dyan transforms a simple novel into a fabulous art journal.  You'll also make some colorful tags and play with washi/tissue tape.  It will be loads of fun and you'll leave with a new appreciation for sprays and stencils -- and your very own art journal.  The class is Saturday, May 12 from 1-3 and costs $20.  Everything you need for the class will be provided.

Please sign up by Friday so I can prepare the kits.  To sign up give us a call at the store, 770-751-9551.  Unfortunately we still don't have voice mail.  You can also email me at info@alteredangel.com.

Mother's Day Card Ideas from our DT

Mother's Day is this weekend and wouldn't your Mom love a hand made card from you.  One of our design team members, Becky Garrison, created these two beautiful cards using supplies from the store.  Both of these cars are easy to make and absolutely beautiful.  You can stop by the store to see the cards and the exact supply lists.  The cards feature Pink Paislee London Market.

Make sure to check out Becky's blog, Becky Garrison Paper Crafts.  She is a fantastic paper crafter and a dear friend.  You can also friend her on facebook.

Speaking of the store, don't forget to mention what you would really like for Mother's Day -- an Altered Angel gift card!!!

National Scrapbook Day

I want to remind everyone that this Saturday, May 5, is National Scrapbook Day.  We will be celebrating at the store with 20% off of everything.

We also have a fun class taking place.  It's the Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe 12x12 layout. Customers are always wondering how to use this brand of paper. Well, here’s your answer. This is a fantastic 12”x12” layout that can easily be adapted to use other Graphic 45 papers. The layout holds a 4”x6” picture and hidden journaling. You’ll also leave the class with a generous amount of leftover paper and chipboard embellishments. The class is Saturday, May 5 from 1-2:30 and costs $20. Bring scissors, a paper trimmer, Wonder/Redline tape, a glue stick or tape runner and foam squares. (Optional Distress Ink and blending tool, Vintage Photo).  Call the store to reserve your spot.

Our NEW store phone number is 770-751-9551.  Please call during business hours.  Our provider has not set up our voice mail account yet.

PaperArtsy

I've got a new brand of rubber stamp and matching metal dies in the store.  PaperArtsy is from the UK and I'm the first store in Georgia to carry them.  I ordered a small sampling to test drive the brand.  I've got about 6 different stamp sets (some with matching dies) and their Metal Card.  Which is great for stamping on and embossing.  A couple of the stamp sets are by Lynne Perrella of Stampington fame.  This is my favorite set, eventhough it is plain.  The possibilities are endless.  It is an old fashioned slide stamp with matching slide die.  I can't wait to try it out.  Stop by the store to shop this new brand and don't forget we also are having a fabulous clearance sale with tons of 99 cent items.
