new SC class...with the outstanding Ashley G!
I can not even begin to tell you just how excited I am for this class!
I met Ashley Goldberg last year at CHA. I was walking around checking out booths and laughing and chatting with my friends...and we came across Ashley's booth. And we all stopped dead in our tracks. And we all spent the next 30 minutes ooooh-ing and aaaaah-ing at Ashley and her art.
We stamped our hearts out with the stamps she had displayed...and we told her over and over and over how awesome she was and how much we loved her style.
CHA ended...a few months went by...and lo and behold, who do I see designing products for inclusion in a Studio Calico kit??? You got it! Ashley G!!!
I was over-the-moon excited to see her work again and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some of her designs.
And things just keep getting better...now Ashley is teaching a class at Studio Calico! And there are about a million of her designs for sale in the SC shop that go along with said class...and you can bet your bottom I've purchased every. last. one. Because Ashley G is just that amazing.
Here's what SC has to say about Ashley's class:
And here's what your enrollment in "paint.plan.play" will get you...
And don't forget to check out all of the other Ashley G products now available in the Studio Calico shop (these are the ones I picked up as soon as I saw them...did I go overboard? Nah...I don't think so either...).
so go grab your supplies and get ready for November 1!
See you in class!

Here's what SC has to say about Ashley's class:
We've all experienced it – the frustration of sitting in front of a blank page for hours and still coming up empty. Well, we've got the remedy: cutting-edge artist Ashley Goldberg. Ashley’s come wielding her brush and paints to invite you into Paint.Plan.Play, an “art” class designed for scrapbookers. Grab the paints and brushes you've been collecting and let Ashley help you tap into the creativity you've got hiding inside yourself.
During the first half of Paint.Plan.Play, you’ll explore core painting techniques Ashley uses every day, then you will transition into putting those new skills to use in several projects. With Ashley’s expert guidance, you will learn how to take control of color, pattern, and text by using paint, collage, and various other mediums to add allure to all your paper crafting projects – from personally designed journal layouts to Project Life spreads.

Color Studio - a new SC class with Lisa Truesdell
How many times have you bought a bunch of new supplies because they were a pretty color? And then you get them home and think..."what am I ever gonna do with these?"
Or, how about when you open your new kit and the first thing that comes to mind is..."this is so not me...I never use (insert your least favorite color here) in my layouts!"
Well no more!
The amazing Lisa Truesdell is teaching a new class all about COLOR! And she's gonna help us all figure out exactly how to make the most of color in our work...
Where can you find this class? Where else? Studio Calico!
Here's what SC has to say about Color Studio:
Take a spin on the color wheel with Color Studio. Join Studio Calico Creative Team Member Lisa Truesdell for an online class exploring color palettes from monochromatic to rainbow hued. You'll experiment with techniques for adding color to your projects with ink, mist, and watercolors, and learn to mix and match the products in your kits for a whole new look.
And here are some fun things you will get with your enrollment in class:
Printables...
Cut files...
Color Studio Planner Pages...
and Ink Planner pages you can use to reference all of your favorite inks! I'm so excited about these!
Plus you'll get .pdfs, layout ideas, color schemes & technique tutorials to help you along on your color journey!
I'm so looking forward to learning more about this topic that means so much to our craft...and I'm so looking forward to using what I learn in my work. Will you join me in the classroom? I hope to see you there!
