We do the cutting and you do the gluing. Just drop in anytime after 11 AM and purchase tickets at the front counter for however many Demos you want to create. We provide glue sticks so if you prefer tape, please bring a labeled tape runner. If you get to the store by 3PM, you should have enough time to do all the demos or get kits to go.

To bring a little touch of Spring to February's Demo Day, you will be making a floral card at Cindy's table (with the beautiful Hero Arts stamp Fleurettes) with colors that I feel evoke early Spring - bright pink and green.  



























Vanessa is making this cute Paper Smooches card with lots of Copic coloring.
