For Keeps Sake is at it again, look at this it's Truly Trendy on Scrap Scene!!

The Challenge: You’ve been seeing a lot of new trends popping up in the world of scrapbooking for 2008. We, at ScrapScene, have also been posting a lot about them recently. (You can see some links in the “Inspiration” section below.) For this contest, we are challenging you to create a scrapbooking or paper crafting project that reflects one or more of these trends. Some ideas you can select from are mentioned below, or perhaps there is another trend that we didn’t mention. You can make a scrapbook layout, a mini book, an altered item, or whatever else you decide. This contest is pretty wide open, so show us what you can do. The project does not have to be brand new, you can submit an entry that you have made earlier, no problem. Entries will be judged on overall appeal as well as creativity. One grand prize will be awarded as well as five runner up prizes. Let’s see what you can come up with!

Go to Scrap Scene for more details!

March 29 & March 30

Ta Da . . .

As promised, here's the list of classes with cost for each class for

Linda Cain's and Wendy Vecchi's classes

Saturday, March 29:

Wendy's Distress Ink Technique Class

10 am - 1 pm

$35

Love the Distress Inks but want to learn more ways to use them? Wendy's back from Ranger University and ready to share lots of the techniques she learned. Follow the same format as she did at Ranger U. You'll then do the same technique on a manilla tag. Ink, distress, crackle, emboss . . . then put them all together on a ring and each will be labeled - so note taking not required!

Linda's Framed Row Houses

2 pm - 5 pm

$45

Join artist Linda Cain and create a project you will be proud to hang on your wall or give as a gift. This class has over 40 elements to glue, distress, add pen designs to and more! And, of course, there is a bit of stamping and distressing. Don't forget to bring a small picture to put in the bottle cap. Many have used vintage pictures of their mom, a small child or themselves. You will leave with a completely finished 8x10 framed work of art that will put a smile on your face.

Sunday, March 30

Linda's 7 Gypsies Fragments Book Class

10 am - 12 Noon

$35

Want to use some of those favorite little pieces of paper you just couldn’t bear to throw away after a project? Well here is the class for you! Bring them along with your Distress Inks and pads, and Linda will show you how to make a great little book. The spine is covered with ribbons, chipboard, beads, wooden letters and more! If you don’t like to stamp, many papers alone are great for adding to the Fragments! Linda will bring along some stamped paper pieces for each person to have a couple to start with.

Bring a black ink pad, scissors, Glossy Accents, Distress Inks and pads. If you have favorite collage stamps, they really work well!

Wendy's Goin' For The Grunge

1 pm - 3:30 pm

$35

Here's a fun, totally different class using the coolest product - Grungeboard! Combine grungeboard, stamps, distress inks, wire & glass to create a very cool dimensional bud vase. It's perfect for those spring flowers that should be popping up soon. This is one of the projects Wendy made for Maya Road! Once you make one, you'll want to make more for a quick gift or you may want to display several in a grouping in your home. This grungeboard idea is also perfect for cards, so we'll make a grungeboard card too! A card and a vase . . . a great gift idea. The Grunge-abilities are endless!

Call For Keeps Sake @ 314-487-8131


Photos of all the projects are up on the FKS blog!! Plus Linda Cain has something special up on her blog go see here!
