Graphic 45 Happy Haunting Class 7/12

**Update as of July 9th** Sadly, my class is full and kits are sold out. So sorry! But please stay tuned for another Graphic 45 class that I'm teaching on July 26th. Thank you!

Hi there!

I wanted to share my latest Mad Scrapper project with you. This is a Graphic 45 kraftboard box that I altered using G45's Happy Haunting line. :) Inside is an accordion-style mini album that folds out to reveal 8 different pages. I've always wanted to play with one of these boxes, so I'm stoked that I get to teach a class with one of them!



On top of the box is a funky 3D flower I made using my scraps. 


Here's what the box looks like when you open it up:



The mini album:





Thanks for looking!

June Classes at The Mad Scrapper

Wow, half a month in, and no posts from me! I think I need to hire an assistant. ;)

I hope all of you are doing wonderfully and enjoying your summer so far! Well, technically summer isn't here until next week ... I hope with the official season change, comes a good 20 degrees of warmer weather. 

With that said, I wanted to share a couple upcoming classes that I'm teaching at The Mad Scrapper! The first class is a 5x7 mini album with matching 6x6 tote. The name of the class is "Little Miss Shabby Chic" and I'll be teaching it on Thursday, June 28th from 6-8. The paper line I used is Bo Bunny's adorable "Little Miss", an adorable and very shabby line that features common girly-girl themes like tea parties, cute Yorkie puppies, and dressing up. I definitely tapped into my girly side on this one, ha! 


If you'd like to come but can't have a schedule conflict, you can always order a kit from the ladies! It is approximately $38 at the moment. I think it's safe to say that we ship internationally now ... we ended up shipping 5 kits from my "Suitcase of Memories" class to Australia! How cool!! (And if you're reading this new Aussie friends, thank you so, so much and I hope you're enjoying your kits!) 

The second class I'm teaching is a really quick technique class on Tuesday June 26th from 6-7pm. If you know me, you know I love flowers as well as making my own to put on all kinds of projects! Well, I am going to start a series of classes centered around creating your own embellishments using things like punches and dies. This class will be the first in its series. :) There is a nominal class fee; I'll post it as soon as I know. If you're local, all you need to bring is your fabulous self. (But if you're particular, like me, you are free to bring your own toolkit and inks.)


Well, dear readers, I have to split unfortunately. I am very behind on visiting your blogs, and for that, I apologize. I do wish you all a wonderful weekend, and for those of you who are thinking about taking either class, I look forward to seeing you here in a couple weeks! 

Hugs,
Maria
