It's a Soldering Weekend

If you have taken Heather's basic and intermediate soldering classes and can make this....

THEN



 You still have time to sign up for Heather's advanced class on Saturday and can make this....

We still have a couple of openings left in Heather's advanced Home Sweet Home class this Saturday, April 23rd from 10-5. This is an advanced class and students need to have completed the beginning and advanced soldering classes. This house is adorable and you will be able to change out the paper for different holidays or occasions. I think the new Pink Paislee Soiree would be perfect for a birthday house. The cost is $95.00 and we will take an hour break for lunch. Unfortunately the weekend isn't supposed to be that great so come join us for a fun and rewarding class with Miss Heather. Call Paper Crown, (405) 848-2389 to reserve your spot.

If you are a little anxious about the advanced class we are offering a "soldering crop" on Friday evening from 7-9. This will be a great time to get up to speed for Saturday morning or work out any soldering kinks  you might  have. I will have some light snacks for the crop so please do us a favor and let us know if you will be dropping in.

I hate when I mess up and I did a big goof on Monday. Two of my favorite Paper Crown artists are Brenda Wright, a Heather soldering protege, and Brenda Little, an accomplished and incredible nice artist and sometimes sidekick of the lovely Linda Land.  On my blog entry regarding Glitter Market I listed Brenda Wright as a vendor instead of Brenda Little. My apologizes to both and hopefully in the fall we can talk Brenda Wright into vending but for now it's just Miss Little.

Speaking of Glitter Market, there has been no action next door, so we have our finger crossed it will be in the old No Regrets storefront. We should know a definite location on Monday.  Starting tomorrow we will have a daily sneak peek at some of the wonderful goodies that will be available next Saturday, April 30th at Paper Crown's Spring Glitter Market so check the blog daily for a little tease!

New Echo Park Summer Time just in-

colors are vibrant and reminds me of a box of Popsicles !

Paper Crown Glitter Market

Paper Crown's Spring Glitter Market is just around the corner. After the huge success we had this winter at the Holiday Glitter Market we couldn't resist trying again this spring. The Glitter Market will be held Saturday, April 30th from 10am-5pm.  At the moment the exact location is still in limbo, and it probably will be until next week. As long as the store front next door to Paper Crown ( formerly the No Regrets) is unrented,  we can have it there. If the storefront rents this week, we will simply move down the sidewalk to another empty space. we will put a banner in the window and as you know from the Holiday Market, it will be easy to spot , just look for the line of women wrapping around the shopping center.

Many of your favorite vendors from the Holiday market will be returning including: Jackie Peters, Linda Land, Brenda Wright, Holly Abston, Ann-Denise Anderson, Jemellia Hilfiger, and Jill Groce/ Susan Diffee.

Some vendors new to Paper Crown's Glitter Market include: Heather Ales, Martha Green, Amy Baldwin, Valisha Hall and Medeah Kitsmiller. I have a feeling this list will be increasing even more this week.

The variety of art available includes: mixed media, jewelry, fabric/ textiles, prints, ephemera and baked goods. There will be something for everyone- I promise!

Just around the corner

Summer will be here in no time and what better way to get you in the mood than this new Pink Paislee Summer Hometown. Watermelon, barbecue, Popsicles, swimming they all remind us of July. this line is a collaboration between Pink Paislee ans one of my favorite companies Collage Press. They didn't come out with a huge number of lines but they all were beautiful- they do a great job with color. This will be flying out the door so don't wait or you will be sorry.

I told ya'll yesterday that the little guy on this paper reminded me of Emory. I'll let you be the judge.



my lil cuties!

The Pink Paislee lil cutie

Home Sweet Home

Love It!!!

Home Sweet Home

Saturday, April 23

10:30-5:30

$95.00

This sweet home is constructed with glass and assembled with solder! A flame-less tealight candle is inside lighting up the internal art and designs from each student. I love how the art inside can be changed out with each season, or special family events. (Doesn't the window look delicate? I love the way the paper lace lights up!)

This project will be completed during our 6 hour class! Yes, SIX hours! It is a lengthy class, but a one hour break has been scheduled in. (It probably will not take you the full class time to complete this project, but I scheduled it in, just in case. I want everyone to leave with a completed project!) So, be sure to dress comfy and feel free to bring a lunch (or pop out to eat!). Light snacks and treats will be provided.



If you're interested in joining us for this fun class, contact the Paper Crown at 405.848.2389 (This class is an advanced class. Attendance in both my beginner and intermediate classes is required in order to attend Home Sweet Home.)



Each student will need to bring the following supplies with them: paper trimmer, scissors, wet & dry adhesives, pencil, ruler, extra fine black sharpie marker, tile work surface, soldering iron & stand, flux & brush, lead-free solder, sal block, burnishing tool, clamps, and bent nosed hemostats.

If you aren't quite up to speed for Home Sweet Home, never fear Heather is holding a beginning soldering class on Friday, April 22nd from 3-6 pm. The cost of the beginning class is $65.00 and includes all of your supplies. You will definitely want to get all caught up and ready for Heather's advanced classes because I hear she has some wonderful advanced classes in the works including a CROWN!  More info to come soon.

Also on Friday the 22nd following Heather's beginning class we are holding a " soldering crop."  For a couple of hours,  you can come into the store and brush up for Saturday's class or ask Heather any questions regarding soldering. This is a perfect time to work out any little kinks you might have.  

If you haven't taken a soldering class from Heather- what the heck are you waiting for and if you have, heat up those guns because you are going to have a wonderfully creative weekend. 

Go enjoy this beautiful day and then come see all the wonderful new goodies at Paper Crown.

Sorry, it has been SO VERY SLOW that I thought I needed to tempt you a little!

Walk Around

Wow! There was a lot of unpacking on Friday but absolutely no putting away. I just told Cheri I'm tired of being at the store and have at it! Therefore my flower beds are all weeded and ready to go but the backroom- not so much.

Decided it kinda looked like a "walk around". You remember in school when you would have a project and the teacher would display them on the desks or tables and you would walk around and look.
So ya'll swing by the store for our "walk around" - this is in honor of you Ms. Redburn (not for long) only this time you can touch and hopefully pick up and purchase.

Our 1st project is from Kaisercraft. They are from Australia and apparently those Aussies like Easter a lot more than we do because they are the only ones with a cute Easter line. Sorry, Peeps are to eat not to craft.

Next we have the class over achiever- My Mind's Eye. Not one project but 4. The Lush line comes in fuchsia, turquoise (someone who will remain unnamed, forgot to order the paper to go with all those wonderful embellishments but it is on it's way), orange and navy- yes, the elusive color navy. For some reason navy doesn't make the cut often so if you love or need navy, now is your chance. Very modern and beautiful flocked paper- definitely an A+.

Next is the class favorite- Pink Paislee Summer Hometown. This project is by the kid in class everyone loves- he's cute, funny and sweet. It may not be perfect but it tugs at your heartstrings and you love it. This is Emory Winter's project- the little guy in the bathing suit even kinda looks like Em.

Final project is by the life of the class- Pink Paislee Soiree. To this kid life is just one big party everyday so CELEBRATE!
So come by and pick your favorite project. Like all classes we have a couple who never quite make the deadline. Promising to turn in later this week- Echo Park Summertime and Anna Griffin.

Reminder

Easter  ATC cards due Wednesday, April 13th

Faberge egg ATC by Martha Green.
 My dad would be so proud- I told him some day I would actually use all those Russian history classes. 

You can learn to make this beautiful paper flower Thursday evening at Medeah's Bloom Big Class. Just a very few openings left.

Waiting, patiently waiting

Some big boxes from Notions are scheduled to arrive today full of lots of goodies: stamps, glimmer mist, liquid pearls, flowers- just a hodge podge of artistic staples. Anna Griffin and Pink Paislee, or at least some of Pink Paislee, are also making their way to the store. We are jam packed at the moment so where to put all

this will be the million dollar question. While I wait for the back door to ring, I thought I would show you a class for next week that is taking off like wild fire.

This will be Medeah's 1st class at Paper Crown

Bloom Big

Thursday, April 14th

5:30-8:30

Only a few spots left so don't delay - you will be sorry!

Medeah also has a 2nd class- La Paloma

Both of Medeah's classes are great opportunities to sharpen your mixed media skills or try your hand at this unique art form if you haven't had the chance. Call the store, 848-2389 to reserve your spot.



Here's a quick peek at the Easter Cones the girls and I did this past Sunday at Kid's Camp. We have a great time - but boy you should have seen that backroom!

Bell just rang- 3 huge boxes of goodies to unpack- tempting??  We hope!

Have a great afternoon!

On the Docket for this Week

Every once in a while a little piece of my old life pops up- "docket" was a term frequently used during my days as a paralegal/ legal assistant. The excitement/anticipation of going to court was always fun but all those many hours of prep to get there, not so much. I've basically been shuffling paper all my adult life whether it's trial exhibits, kiddo's homework or the newest Basic Grey. Maybe I'll list my profession as a professional paper shuffler : )

There are several opportunities this week to satisfy your creative urges.

Jackie's Easter Spool class is this Thursday, April 7th, 5:30-8:30. This class is at it's max.- sorry girls you snooze you lose. Don't loose heart, Jackie has a few spots left in some remaining classes for those who act quickly.

Shining Light

Friday, April 8th, 6-9



 Come join us for a fun evening of painting and girl time. This darling chandelier will be pre-sketched so the hard part is done for you. Basically this is paint by number for adults but so much cuter than that horse, dog or cat you did as a kiddo. You won't want to miss out on this fun evening!  

Easter Parade

Saturday, April 9th

11-4

If you haven't been able to make one of Ann-Denise's paper clay classes then this is for you. Ann- Denise will instruct you on molding, painting and wardrobing your bunny doll so she will be all ready the Easter Parade. This is such a fun class and many who have done the Christmas or Valentine's doll are returning for more. They each turn out so very unique and so very wonderful.  

These classes all have just a few openings so don't delay!

Call Paper Crown at 848-2389 to reserve your class spot.
