trimz, labelz, bucklez, bradz, and more. You will make five
embellishment blocks that can be used for cards or scrapbook
pages. Best of all this class will be taught by Shannon
Taylor who is on the Junkitz Design Team this year and also
created these wonderful blocks. Heather Preckel will be

well-known in the scrapbooking community for all their beautiful

Stamping can sound intimidating; but in this class you will use
stamps to make a card, stamp on transparencies, and learn lots
of other unique stamping techniques. Technique Tuesday offers
stamps that are made by scrapbookers for scrapbookers--so this
means they are proportioned to work on scrapbook pages not just
on cards or other projects. This class will be taught by Rose
Andrews from Knoxville, Tennessee. She is a scrapbook rep for
the Riddell Group and is a very talented lady with lots of
scrapbook experience. Come learn lots of new stamping
techniques using Technique Tuesday stamps!!!

more popular classes and save some of the less popular for
another time.
