NEW Class - Mixed Media Technique Journal Series with Ly Le

Photo: Hey...look who else is teaching on the 4th Saturday of every month at Remember When!   This awesome mixed media series is back by popular demand and I promise it's the best there is!  And super fun too!  Why not grab a handful of friends and make a "Girl Day" out of it?  Drive up (It's not THAT far...and use the carpool lane!), take some fun classes, have lunch in between, shop at the best scrapbooking store around.  Sound's like a great time, doesn't it? Call (661) 254-7802 and tell Tonya you don't want to miss it!
One of Ly's most requested class series is back and better than ever! It’s my monthly Mixed Media Technique Journal Series. Each month you will learn loads of techniques and DIY tutorials that will focus on a particular medium and all the different ways you can use them in both mixed media and scrapbooking, all while making your own art journaling page. You’ll also receive a kit catered to each month’s topic, and step-by-step instruction sheets that you can store right inside your journal for a quick and easy reference guide. And as usual, the infamous treasure chest, yummy prizes, and delicious snacks accompany all of her classes.

Supplies Lists:
The supplies list will differ slightly each month depending on what topic or medium is covered that month. I will provide everything you need in class for you to experiment and play, including the lovely treasure chest. I want to give you the opportunity to learn how to use the product in class before you decide to invest in it. So, please don't ever feel that you have to go out and buy something you are not sure you want to invest in yet. However, if you already own the items on the list it would be helpful if you bring them to class so you don't have to wait to share items. With that being said, I will provide two supplies lists… a Basic Supplies List containing supplies that you will need for each and every class and a Monthly Supplies List containing supplies that you will need for that month only.
