Spring is in the air at CraftFancy!
Our Big Spring Make and Take Event is this Saturday, March 28th!
We are so excited about this event with great designers in the store and an amazing sale, we can't wait to see everyone. Our store hours on Saturday are 10a to 6p. Check out all the details below.
We've added some great classes this month as well. There are plenty of classes to choose from that are scheduled for days, nights and weekends, so we are trying our hardest to accomodate everyone. You won't want to miss the Easter class this month and your little ones won't want to miss Kids Camp either because we are hosting a store egg hunt for the little crafters. Our Cricut class has been a great addition to our schedule and we are offering a couple more dates and times in April, so if you missed the March class, you still have a chance to catch it in April. See our Calendar for all the current and upcoming classes. Below are some of the other highlights of the month and don't forget all our class samples are in our Online Gallery. No experience required for most our classes and there is something for everyone.
Sign ups for the Copic BootCamp begin April 1st! There is only room for 12 people but be sure to get on the waiting list if you don't get in, since we do have people cancel. We will be offering this class again in June but we won't have details on that til the May Newsletter. The details are once again listed below and remember if you have any questions, please feel free to email or call the store.
We hope to see you soon!simone

Teresa Collins Family Album
Didn't you just love the new Teresa Collins products that arrived last month? This month, we
will use the Family Matters and Documented
collection s and the Bind It All to create this great little album that will be
treasured for years to come. This album uses all sorts of paper techniques and the class will inspire your
other projects. You can bring
lots of 4x6 family photos or add them later. The best part of this class is that you will have enough supplies
left over to create two additional scrapbook pages. The instructions for these pages are part of your class kit. You will need your basic tool kit for the class, especially your paper trimmer and a bone folder. Also, people who own a scoring tool should bring this along to create a crisper album.
New Mother/Daughter Workshop
The mother and daughter teas were so popular, Marnie Bushmole and her daughter are hosting another great class for you and your little  helper. The Mom - n - Me Springtime Crafts Workshop will be held on March 21st. This special workshop is geared toward adults and children together, so even if you are not the special little girl's mother, we would love to have aunts, grandmas, neighbors ...whomever, as long as it is an adult and child. This fun workshop will feature four fun projects using new spring papers that you can use to decorate your home for the season. Sharing ideas and time together set the stage for a "Fantabulous" day together. Please bring a glue stick, double-sided tape, pencil, eraser, scissors and two pictures of your child (if you want them punched).
Hero Arts Whimsical Card Party
This a great new class that features new stamps from
the 2009 Hero Arts Stamps catalog. We
will be creating six great cards using clear stamps that feature some of their
most fun images. These springtime images
will brighten anyone's day. You won't
want to miss the chance to play with all these stamps and I am sure you won't
be disappointed. This is also a great
class for anyone who has never used Clear Stamps and is interested in getting
started.
Cricut Workshop with Cathy
Join
Cathy and learn all about the Cricut Die Cutting Machine. This popular
new tool is the hottest thing in paper crafting today and Cathy will
get you started with a simple project and plenty of useful
information. You will be learning about the machine while making a
spring door wreath. Bring your Cricut with you to class as well as a basic tool kit and dimensional adhesive (pop dots).
Tissue Box House Workshop with Margie
Have you ever wondered what you can do with
those chipboard houses? Let us help! Join Margie Higuchi as we will be working with Maya
Road's Mementos' Villa House. We will be altering the dull kraft color
house into a very vibrant and spring-y theme! You can use these as gift
boxes, a home décor piece or even a tissue holder! To personalize it
even more, you can add photos of loved ones into the house! So come
join us as we change into spring with a wonderful project!
Our April is jammed packed with some great classes and those of you with little ones should make sure to sign up for Kids Camp on April 4th, we are hosting an Easter Egg Hunt!! Please check out our online schedule for all our upcoming classes. ONLINE CLASS CALENDAR

| Copic Marker Bootcamp |
|
Our Copic clubs and classes are in full swing. If you are interested in these wonderful little tools, this is a great way to get started.
 And for those people who really wanted to get into a club and wanted to get started with these markers in full swing, right away... We will be offering a Copic Bootcamp in May!
First, what this includes...
In this one day workshop, each person will receive 10 Sketch Copic Markers and learn all the techniques from both the Basics of Copic Markers and Beyond the Basics of Copic classes. This is a completely hands on class and everyone will be using their own mar kers they receive the day of class. All paper and images are provided as well as handout materials. Simone teaches all Copic classes and has almost 2 years experience as well as being a Copic Certified Designer.
Now the details...
This class will be held on Saturday, May 16th from 11a to 2p. Light snacks and beverages will be served. The cost of this amazing workshop will be $130 which includes the markers as described above. This one day event I suspect will be very popular since the next Copic Clubs will not even begin until October. Registration for this Workshop will begin April 1st and feel free to register by phone.
FAQ
If I sign up and then cannot attend, can I get a refund?
Yes, if you cancel more than a week before the Bootcamp starts which would have to be on or before May 9th.
Why does it cost so much?
The markers alone are $80. Add to that class fees, product, instruction, snacks, etc... And that's the actual cost of all the supplies and instruction. Both Copic Classes alone would cost you $50, so I think this is a pretty good deal.
What if I have the colors you give in the Bootcamp?
If you own markers, bring them! If you own a color that we are providing that day, you can exchange it for a color that we have in stock. We have over 75 colors, so I am sure you can find one you don't own yet.
Any other questions, concerns...please email or call the store.
Registrations begin April 1st.
