Memory Box Comes To The Hen House

noreply@blogger.com (Inspired Gal {Crafts}) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:26:00 +0000

Join us on March 9th and 10th for our Memory Box Extravaganza! The weekend will hold a trunk show and classes for this favorite, fast-growing paper craft company. Memory Box offers beautiful papers, dies and stamps and is trending super hot right now. This is a great way to compliment ABQ Stamp Convention weekend!

Laura Fulcher, Memory Box designers, flies in from D.C. to teach us beautiful and creative techniques using plethora of products.

Here's some background on Laura:

Laura Fulcher currently lives outside Washington DC and serves as the head of the Memory Box design team as well as a design team member for Impression Obsession. Laura teaches classes that focus on coloring, whether it is with markers, pencils, paints, or ink. Some of her work has appeared in Paper Crafts Magazine, Somerset Studio, the Stamper’s Sampler, Take Ten, and Stampington’s Catch Up issue. You can find more about Laura through her blog, the Color Whimsy blog she writes for Memory Box, or her Stampjournal Youtube channel.

Laura will host two classes at The Hen House in conjunction with Memory Box products - one using Copics and the other Prismacolor pencils. Each class will provide how-to's with these products that you won't want to miss. Most products used in the class can be available for purchase in our store if you so desire. Classes are limited to 16 students and are guaranteed to sell out. Register soon!
