Got Sketch 103: Final Week

Wow, where did the time go?

We are on our fourth week!

We've already released 7 sketches, several tips, and 1 video mini lesson!  It wouldn't be complete without a few bonus patterns, too.

The first video lesson is a "hoot." {that was a hint. ;P}

Janna is releasing our second video lesson on Tuesday morning!  Not one to miss.

With hundreds of layouts in the gallery, everyone is scrappin' and we are so proud!

As always, we have THE best students in class, too. {hi ladies!!}

Even though class is wrapping up, it's not too late to take part in it & get all of the class content.

Happy Holidays!!

Hello all! 

Needless to say, this month has been insane! 

Sorry for the lack of blog updates, but with my recent birthday and holiday preparations, there is just not enough time to do anything else. I hope your holiday plans are taking shape nicely. I still have lots of gift-wrapping to do myself. :) 

On the crafty side, Janna and I have several things going on. 

Check out Got Crafts?, our new baby... which will be the home for all things crafty that we do. And speaking of new projects, here's a couple that I haven't shared on my blog yet. 

Woohoo, it's a new desktop calendar project! Val's Desktop Calendar Download

Got Sketch 101/102...another chance!

Due to a popular demand after the completion of our recent freebie class, Got Sketch Mini, we've decided to make our Got Sketch 101 & 102 classes available for those who missed the first go-around of the workshop series. While the original classes were interactive with teacher and student participation, prizes, forums and a gallery, these offerings will be more of a print-and-go format for your convenience. As usual, there's no homework, classes are self-paced and EVERYBODY gets an A+! We are offering all of the complete and original class content in an easy-to-navigate online classroom.

Check out all the info here:  GOT SKETCH 101/102 

That's all for now. Have a Blessed Holiday Season! 

I'll see you in 2009!
