New LBH Buffet Projects just released...

Are you "Proud to be Artsy"???

I am and I hope you are too!!
 

Come get "Artsy" with us in one of our LBH Creative Buffets! We have just added three fabulous NEW projects to our current Buffet Project offerings. You may reserve these projects beginning this week in any of our LBH Creative Buffets. 

The first two projects are actually inspiration projects that were designed from our NEW Sew Artsy Front Porch Kit. Take a looksie...

This project has to be one of my all time fav's...You will love working with sewing pattern tissue and creating faux tiles for your canvas and you will learn how easy it is to antique measuring tape and use it in a fun, playful way! You may switch up your papers on this project if you have a certain color scheme in mind. 

"How do you Measure Love"

12x24 Chunky Canvas

Cost: $55

Designed by: Tracy Pounds (Miss Tracy)

If you would like to learn more about Mixed Media Art...consider signing up for this wonder! You will have so much fun playing with a multitude of mediums, loads of stamping and layering techniques, stenciling tips, and "Sew" much more...

"Sew Artsy"

11x14 Mixed Media Canvas

Want to know more about Melt Art??

 If so, you will love this project...This is our version of a Melt Art Class Project that Elaine took from the "Tim"ster back in the Fall. We have so many tips to share with you about UTEE, shrink plastic, stamping and coloring techniques, and working with the Melting Pot by Ranger. Super cool project!

"SeW" Artsy WINNERS!!!!!

Good Morning Friends!

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments about our new "Sew" Artsy Front Porch Kit!!! I have loved reading them!!!

We have chosen a WINNER...Congratulations to...

Erin Berg

Congrats Erin! Please contact us to claim your "Sew" Artsy Kit! 

I am also giving away another kit to a very special person...I would personally like to thank...Kelly Bailey...for assisting us in acquiring all the vintage sewing treasures in the kit. Kelly's Mother sewed for the public for several years in the late 60's and early 70's. Some of the vintage findings and fabric in your "Sew" Artsy Kit were her's. I think it will make your Mother proud Kelly to know that some of her things are now being brought to new life and will be treasured by others for years to come!
