Attention all Blue House Artsy Girls!

Our June meetings are less than two weeks away - Wed. June 8 - 6-9pm and Fri. June 10 - 10am-1pm.!  Just a reminder that we are having an "Artful Goodies Swap" where you bring something that can be used in our art. Anything goes - if you find more placemats with pieces that can be cut apart, great.  Or look around for other unusual things.  Bring one or several pieces for 15 people.  If you cannot make the meeting and want to participate, drop your items by the LBH BEFORE the meetings so we can include them in the swap.

Our project this month will be a "Scrappy Happy, Funky Junky, Hodge Podge Art Journal"!  The complete details and supply list are on the Blue House Art Group page on this blog - click the button at the top of the page.  Don't be scared by the long "scraps" list - these are SUGGESTED items to look for and bring.  Everyone does not need to bring everything and we will share.  You will need to bring an old hardcover book - the covers are what we will be using and they need to be in decent condition.

See you soon! If you have any questions, you can call Susan at 817-793-3592 or LBH at 817-431-7930.

With New Classes Came....

New Customers!

And we are so happy to have you join us.

We were frequently asked two
questions about our classes.

1. What does the class include?

&

2. What should I bring to class?

This is applicable to all our class attendees whether

you're new or have been to a class or two...

 or more.

First, when taking a class from the

 Little Blue House, your class will include

all of the items used to build and complete 

the project that were used in our sample.

(Some colors may vary depending on project selected)

This excludes common tools and consumable products

like adhesives and basic colors of inks and pens. 

Here is the list we call 

Your Basics 

(You will need to bring these to all classes or workshops)

Paper Trimmer 

 Scissors

Adhesives:(bring all listed)

 Tape Runner

 Glue Dots

 Pop Dots

Quick-Dry Liquid Adhesive

Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze

Tacky Tape

Glue Gun with glue sticks

Cropadile or Hole Punch

 Black & Brown chalk ink pad

Black Journaling Pen

We regularly use these items when making a project. 

Having your supplies with you will help you to

complete the project in a timely manner.

Anything that is special to the project

will be made available during your class.

The list of basics are regularly stocked at the LBH in case

you run out and have to replenish your supplies.

Those purchasing kits to go will receive all product to build the projects except the consumable items that cannot be portioned such as paints, inks, mists, etc.

If you were unable to come this weekend there are still

plenty of projects to go around. Stop by and
reserve your seat at the LBH.

Or call us at 817-431-7930

Happy Crafting!

Get "SmAsH"ed at the Little Blue House!

Join us this Thursday, Friday and Saturday for a special introduction to a fabulous NEW artistic adventure!

SMASH is an exciting new program from K&Company that takes scrapbooking back to its roots. Simplistic, on-the-fly, and with no rules and no special crafting ability needed, you can Smash your everyday life between the pages of our contemporary-style Smash Books.  

 An ultra-convenient combo glue pen/journaling marker comes attached to each book so it’s always at hand when you need it. Now, how cool is that?!

So, what do you Smash? Well, it doesn’t have to be a life event, just the special little moments and mementos of your day—some of that stuff in your junk drawer, for example. A snapshot, a ticket stub from that movie you loved, a newspaper clipping, a magazine snippet, a cardboard coaster from a favorite restaurant, your child’s first crayon doodle...get the idea? Smash it, jot a note or add a caption sticker, and go!

Check out this video, and feel free to hum along... :)

All Smash products will be ready and available for sale beginning this Thursday!

Enjoy!
