The project uses many different layers to build the book. Blackboard pages are layered between fabric ones, acryllic pages, paper pages, etc… a little bit of a lot of things. There are places for photos and journaling… or not, the book can stand alone as a mini work of art!

Michelle’s “Tart & Tangy” card class was a great success… everyone left with their eight beautiful cards completed, along with envelopes and smiles, so… we have asked Michelle to schedule more card classes at Captured Moments! Her next class is Tuesday, September 21st at 6pm-8pm. This class is called ”Artistic Etchings” and participants will complete 5 beautiful cards while learning new and valuable stamping techniques. Here are images of the cards you will complete in this class.

Here are the rest of the cards! If you are interested in taking this class, contact us to sign up, or if you would like more information! Read the rest of this entry »

Our incredibly creative friends, Melanie and Marilyn have done it again… they have a great workshop to bring to Captured Moments. Class size may be limited, but it is an open registration so sign up right away if you are interested!

Here is the info we received from Melanie and Marilyn. Please contact either one of them directly for registrstion or further information.

***Hello Friends,
Here is further information regarding the Altered Curiosity Cabinet Workshop that Melanie and I are conducting.
Where:  Captured Moments Scrapbook Store, Curry Road, Rotterdam, NY
Time:  10:30a.m. – 4:00p.m.
Fee:     $35.00 plus materials fee of: $15.00 (this is a cost-intensive class and that is why we are asking for the materials fee to cover some of the costs including the cabinet itself)

Come join us for a fun and creative day learning Assemblage (3-D Design). Melanie will share her expertise with new techniques and also a very cool process for decorating the top of the cabinet.  There will be lots of trinkets, doo-dads, ephemera and embellishments that will be provided for sharing.  In addition, each student will be provided with a kit for their own use; as well as the cabinet itself.

Students are encouraged to bring with you photos, ephemera, miniatures, favorite charms and any found objects to personalize your project.  Please keep the height to 2 inches or less.  You can choose one or more themes or have your piece be themeless.  Possibilities are endless.

Also; students please bring Gesso, Gel Medium, and a foam brush along with your regular tool kit, scissors, etc.

Make sure you pack a lunch and bring water or your choice of liquid refreshment as this workshop will be a full day.

Just a quick note… we have decided to postpone the Creative Challenge, “Four Season” Cigar Box Workshop until the fall.

In fact, the new date is Friday, October 8th @ 6pm. The decision was made once we could see that our class minimum was not going to be met. We had so many interested in the class but only a few who could committ to a Friday night in July… Thank you to those who did sign up and we apologize for the disappointment. This will be an awesome workshop so mark your calendar for Friday, October 8th!!

You can register and pre-pay for this event by Clicking Here.
