Tim Holtz's Holiday Memories, with Maresa

Red/Silver

Gina and I traveled to Michigan, back in September.  We spent an entire day making awesome projects under the tutelage of The Great Craft Guru himself, Tim Holtz.  This burlap panel is one of the projects that we made.  

If you want a chance to take a Tim Holtz style workshop, this is your chance. We will be creating an awesome 3-D burlap panel that is full of great techniques, and beautiful seasonal products.  
Green/Gold

Supplies are extremely limited for this workshop, so if you are interested don't delay; call the store at 250-769-1257 to register.

NOTE:  While supplies last you can make either the red/silver, or green/gold canvas.  When supplies run out, you can still choose what colour to make your canvas, but the silver or gold accents will be determined for you.  Please specify your preference when you register, and I'll do what I can to make it happen. :)
