Funny Birthday Card Class Now Open for Sign-Ups at Scrappin’ Time!

Genevieve Speegle
I’m excited to announce that my 2nd card class at Scrappin’ Time is now open for registration! 
This class is all about making someone smile (or even laugh) on their birthday.  Laughter is the best gift you can give, right?
I used lots of great Vintage images on this collection, and embellished each with unique touches ~ pom poms, ribbon, brads and even beach sand!
Please join me on Saturday, July 24th from 11am-2pm and make a set for yourself!
Cost of the class is $25 and includes all the materials needed (please bring the basics: scissors, brown ink, black ink, 3D adhesive and glue).

Call the store at 702-898-7414 or stop by:

5915 South Eastern Avenue #106

to reserve your seat ~ space is limited!

There is still available seating at my first class on July 10th as well, so be sure to check that one out as well:

(Re)Discover the Joy of Stamping

Genevieve Speegle
Ever have the supplies that you just have to have, but then never end up using?  Stamps are that never used must have for me.  It wasn’t until my 8-year-old niece came over this weekend that I re-discovered how much fun stamping can be (not to mention all the versatility)!
She asked to see my stamps so she could craft with Aunt Gen (that’s what we do here at Gen Co.)  I took all my stamp drawers out for her and realized that I have a metric ton of these rubbery embellishments!  
I began organizing my stash and then I felt like playing.  I spent the rest of the weekend making dozens of these cute little summery treats.  My hubby came home Saturday night to find penguins as far as the eye can see!
 
I had so much fun!  Granted, it does take more time than using ready-made embellishments, but there is a real satisfaction that comes with building from scratch.
I went all out on these mini-cards, too.  I was feelin’ it ~ from Stickles to watercolor pencils ~ it was crafting madness this weekend!
  
These mini-cards are my new
SALE ITEM OF THE WEEK. 
For those of you not familiar, I will highlight one listing per week and offer it at a discounted price through the next Monday
 (while supplies last).
You can find this set of 3 cards on sale at any of my websites:

Hope you all have a warm and sunny week!
