Hello everyone, Catherine Scanlon here to let you know about my latest in + out class that is starting in a few weeks. In + Out Art Journal Toolbox is starting on Friday, June 14th. If you joined me for In + Out Journal last fall or when we re-ran it this spring and made a journal -- this is the perfect next step for you to learn some creative ways to journal inside your beautiful journal.
If you didn't take that class from me, no worries as you can use any type of journal you may already have to learn the techniques I'll be sharing in this one week course. Here's a quick run-down on a few things I'll teach you in this course:
Why Art Journaling?
How + Where to Get Started
Image Transfers on Journal Pages
Flower Doodle Construction
Ways to keep your journaling PRIVATE
Collage Techniques
Basic Lettering Techniques
This class will be made up of videos, downloadable images and pdf handouts to help you along the way after the course has closed. If you aren't familiar with my In + Out classes -- let me tell you what a GREAT deal this is. For $14 you get all the information in this 1 week class, with all the information I pack into each course you are getting a GREAT deal. (If you click on the image below it will take you to the enrollment page for this course where you can see the supply list and other details you might be interested in!)
I should also mention that I have 11 other In + Out classes -- one a month for the entire year. The other GREAT DEAL I'm offering for this series is a way to get a FREE class at the end of the year. If you sign up for all the classes in the series you'll get a 13th class for free! Again, that is an amazing deal when you consider how much information I pack into each class for an enrollment fee of $14!
At this point, you might be thinking -- well I've missed all the other classes so this doesn't apply to me, right? Wrong! We'll be offering a CATCH UP week sometime this fall so you can enroll in the other courses and catch up.
I know -- you also might be thinking how would you possibly be able to catch up?? Right? Well, with our Extended Enrollment program even after the course has closed you have access to all the information (videos, pdf's etc.) for an indefinite amount of time. I mean, like forever.
So, with all that out of the way -- I do hope to see you in In + Out Art Journal Toolbox on June 14th -- and if you leave a comment on this post you could be the LUCKY WINNER of a FREE seat in this class! If you've already enrolled your course fee will be credited back to you. With that, I'll leave you with a FREE In + Out Video that I created this year!
NOTE:
The course fee for this 1 week class is $14.00 and class starts on Friday, June 14th. Students will have access to the instructor-led classroom for a total
of 5 weeks from the class start date. After that time, students will be
placed in the Extended Enrollment classroom. This class is made up of detailed videos, pdf handouts and images for you to use with this class.
In order to be eligible for the free seat in this class you must leave a comment on this post!
Please note, in order to be eligible to win your comment must be posted by midnight on MONDAY, June 10th. A winner will be chosen and announced on Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by AND Good LUCK!
Hello, Shirley Pando here to share with you a brand new class coming this summer semester, "Cricut: DIY Project Life". Maybe you've got a Cricut machine and want to do a bit more with it. Maybe you've heard of Project Life but don't want to spend any more money collecting supplies. This just might be the class for you! I'd love for you to join me!
You could purchase all the papers, cards and elements for Project Life and other similar systems, but why? You and your Cricut can make most every item available on the market today! Let me show you how!Join
me for this class to design and create most all of the elements for any
“Project Life”-type of system you prefer, no matter what the page
protector size or configuration. By using your Cricut machine, cartridges and the Cricut Craft Room (CCR) or your Gypsy, you’ll be ready to quickly and easily document your life and the lives of those you love. And you'll really be putting that Cricut to good use!!
This class includes:
An introduction to “Project Life” and other manufacturers who offer a similar type of system.Maybe you want to use this system for “A Day in the Life”, “A Week in the Life” or, like me, for all of your regular scrapbooking. It's all good!
Determine which Cricut cartridges and images will give a look that is similar to the types of products available on the market today.
Create elements for all sizes and types of albums or page protector configurations.
Creating elements such as journaling cards, monthly dividers, transparent elements, elements with cut outs and more!
Create with cardstock,patterned papers, transparencies, Cricut Markers and other coloring tools.
Included in this class are loads of CCR and Gypsy files for download. BUT
students will also learn how to recreate the components and design
files so that no matter what theme you choose for your album, now or
years from now, you’ll have the knowledge to create the elements
yourself.
Prerequisite: This is an Intermediate/Advanced course. Students must have full knowledge of how to use their Cricut machine AND the Cricut Craft Room AND/OR Gypsy, if they choose to design with it. Both types of files will be available.
Class begins: Monday June 17th. Length: 5 Lessons all open on start date so you can work at your own pace! The Early Enrollment Price of $20 is in effect until June 10th at 10am CST. After that time, the price returns to the $25 original price.

Hi,

I scrap almost everyday and when I don't I am either organizing my
stash or out taking photos. I love my Cricut and own 12 cartridges. I
would love to be inspired on creative ways to use my Cricut.

Hello and HAPPY Friday! Catherine Scanlon here and today I thought I would share a little Easter video I made for Episode 3
of my new YouTube Series: In + Out Freebies. Watch this quick video to see how you can
make a sweet little Easter project -- and then hop on over to My Creative Classroom and sign up for my latest class that is starting this Friday -- you don't want to miss it!
In
case you were wondering what the project from the class at My Creative
Classroom will look like -- here's a picture (below) of one of the
sweetest Easter decorations I have made in a LONG time. I'm just so in
love with the way this came out and I know you will be to!
Congratulations goes to "maplebaystudios.com"! You've won a free seat to "Mad for Monoprinting" with Catherine Scanlon and Shirley Pando. Please contact us at support.mcc@gmail.com so we can enroll you into class.
Two
great masters of mixed media at My Creative Classroom team up to bring
you this extremely creative and fun course. Catherine Scanlon and
Shirley Pando are mad...Mad for Monoprinting! And
they know you will be, too, when you create these unique, one-of-a-kind
backgrounds using both paper and fabric.
This 6-lesson class will include intensive training in the art of monoprinting. Students
will learn how to monoprint on several plate surfaces using a variety
of tools you can probably find in your home and some that will be
handmade. Using acrylic and textile paints, you will create your own
paper and fabric backgrounds that will be perfect in your next art
project. But we're not finished when the paint is dry. We'll make four projects
with both paper and fabric including a paper art quilt, a journal, a NO
SEW fused fabric tote, and a funky patchwork pencil case (sewing
required). Weekly instructional videos included!
Student Feedback
"Such
a fantastic course! I loved the wide variety of techniques presented
from both instructors and will definitely be trying more of
them."~Penny, MCC student "I liked all the various ways you showed to used monoprinting on paper and fabric."~ Ranae, MCC student "I
liked that you showed us monoprinting on both paper and fabric and the
fact that the two of you came at the subject from slightly different
ways. It showed me that there is no one right answer and many ways to
create. The class was so much fun and so well organized."~Jan, MCC

Hello! I'm Catherine Scanlon, instructor at My Creative Classroom. I've been with MCC for a LONG time and really enjoy sharing and teaching what I know about art and crafting. You can check out all my classes here and you can check out my personal blog here! Today I wanted to share a little bit about “Mad for Monoprinting, an online class I’m teaching along
with my pal and MCC MentorShirley Pando at My Creative Classroom. (Shirley is AWESOME, btw! She not only teaches great classes here at MCC but she takes care of the Help Desk and helps me with all my classes. Any problems you have go to her -- she's a pro at handling them all!)
Mad for Monoprinting is a 6-lesson Workshop that starts on Friday, March 22nd. This course is packed full of videos, tutorials and projects where you'll create unique, one-of-a-kind backgrounds with both paper and fabric using the monoprinting technique.
I also thought you might enjoy a quick little video demonstrating how I made my own background paper and then turned it into the beautiful card I've shown below.
I don't think I mention this in the video, but the stamp is an old woodenbatik stamp from India that I picked up at a flea market last year -- it works great with the Gelli Plate -- AND it counts as a STAMP. ;-D For this project I ended up using 2 of the wood batik stamps, 1 rubber stamp from Inkadinkado and 1 clear stamp.
Want to know how you can
win?
Post a comment and tell us what projects you would create using your
monoprinted papers or fabric. Entries will be accepted until
midnight on Monday March 11th. We will pick a winner on Tuesday March

will simply refund the tuition if we pick someone who is already enrolled in the class. Enjoy and GOOD luck!!

and part of the MCC website support team. In fact, if you email the

Today I'm here to
let you know about “Mad for Monoprinting”, an online class I’m teaching along
with Catherine Scanlon at My Creative Classroom. This 6-lesson Workshop class begins on Friday, March 22nd and features loads of videos, tutorials and projects where you'll create unique, one-of-a-kind backgrounds with both paper and fabric using the monoprinting technique.
Monoprinting is a form of printmaking where the images can only be made once. And
that is truly the beauty of the monoprint…each one is an original!
For class, Catherine and I will be using
with the 8" x 10" Gelli Arts Printing Plate but we’ll also have a recipe for you to
create your own plate from unflavored gelatin.
We’ll talk about everything you’ll need to know to create gorgeous
prints from papers and fabrics.
We'll cover, paints and tools (some you can find in your
home...and yes, stamps are one type of tool you can use on a print plate)....techniques and much, much more.
You’ll learn unique tips and techniques from both of
us as we each create in a different way. The best part of that? No one way is
“right”. Creating art is experimental and should be a fun play time. And as adults we don’t get enough play
time, right?
Are you intrigued? We’d love for you to join
us and take the leap into monoprinting. (Most of the supplies I bet you already
have on hand.) Come create unique, one-of-a-kind prints on paper and fabric that
can be turned into projects of many kinds. In class we’ll create four projects
worthy of giving as a gift. (But you may want to make two of each, like I did...one to give as a gift and one for me to keep!)
**Catherine will be our guest blogger on Thursday 3/7 for another sneak peek into "Mad for Monoprinting"! :-)
