-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rustic Journey 10am- 1pm $45.00
 

This is a Technique savvy Class great for a Scrapper and Card maker alike and fun for both the advanced or beginner. Build a pocketed accordion album from Scratch. Then make 9 tags to tell your story. I teach some of the famous techniques such as “Smash and glue” or the “Fold glue and smash”. OK, I have made these names up but they are great techniques for making an album or a card. With the Tags you will learn new ways to use tags (tags on a tags), pockets and a slide though. We use Burlap, staples, brads, charms, sticks, chipboard, beads and ribbons, yarn and string.
Tools Needed: Sense of humor, Stapler, Hole Punch, Brown or black ink. I like to use a craft knife and: Adhesive: Red line tape or Score tape.Liquid glue or a glue stick for the chipboard

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canvas Creations 2pm-5pm  $45.00
Make a book from Scratch.  You will learn to bind a book using chipboard, canvas and bookbinding string.  We will "Sow" the pages into the spine teaching you how to easily create a book with a spine and binding.  The outside of this book is chipboard covered with paper and Canvas over the spine.  This is REAL BOOK BINDING and YOU CAN DO IT.  Fast and easy.  We are using the newest line of paper from Echo Park.  You will be embellishing this album to customize it for your pictures.  Join me for a few hours of fun and learning.  Sure to be a class to remember (and then make another on your own).

Tools needed:
Scissors, Trimmer, Hole Punch (i.e. Crop-a-dile) and distressing Ink.  Craft knife, cutting mat, ruler are optional for covering the chipboard album.Adhesive: Red line tape or Score tape. We need this for the spine.  (Using Tape, keeps the book very clean) Wet glue or a glue stick for the chipboard POKER/Paper Piercer (we need some kind of poking device this helps to make the holes in the paper.  
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas Pop Up 2014  6pm-9pm $45.00
Kinematics meets the holidays in this interactive Christmas Album using Echo Park/Carta Bellas latest Christmas Line.   As the page opens,  the Christmas tree will pop up. Using pre-cut Sizzix die cut pieces,  pop ups are made easy. Learn to bind the album with actual bookbinding techniques. Christmas albums have never been so fun - SHAZAM!

Tools needed:
Scissors,  trimmer, and a Hole Punch (i.e. Crop-a-dile).

Lance Anderson Bio
I am married with four children, Audrey (12), Mason (10), Anders (6) we call him Andy and Maggie (3).  I founded the scrapbook company Rusty Pickle.  We manufactured and sold some of the coolest "scrapbook stuff" in the world. I got into teaching when a teacher couldn't teach at an event and I just filled in.  After that weekend, I fell in love with teaching and was hooked and have been teaching ever since.  We have since closed Rusty Pickle and yet I still get to teach amazing projects all over the world.  I now design with product from different companies using their great "Stuff".  During the past 10 years, I have taught over 50,000 women (and 53 guys) on 5 continents and in 21 countries.  I have taught at hundreds of local scrapbook stores, CHA, CKU and events.   I still showcase fun projects on our local TV stations a few times a year.  I love teaching and have a blast meeting people all over the world.  When meeting people I am always fascinated to hear their stories.   A few of my favorite things are my family, pickles, and my iPhone.  I am always up for fun and making more memories to scrap.  I also love a day at the lake with my family and friends.
