Mixed Media Make-N-Take: Wed, May 29, 1-6pm
Hello, Memory Bound friends!
This is a make and take must!
Maggie has created an amazing mixed media 5x7 canvas packed, once again, with techniques! She will not only demonstrate how to mist paper, crinkle it and then add it to the canvas with gesso, but you will also be painting, gluing to create 3D effects, stenciling, inking, doodling and splattering! OH MY!!
The best part of Maggie's make and takes, is that she teaches a variety of techniques and ideas that you can use in your own creations!
Now, since there are SO MANY amazing techniques to do in order to complete this fabulous canvas, we are asking you to
please sign up, ahead of time, for a one hour time
slot. You may stop in the store to sign up or just give us a call! Either way, you will want to hurry, spots are going fast!

Hello, Memory Bound friends!
June is birthday month at Memory Bound! We've got tons of great ideas to help you celebrate birthdays in style, including a fun birthday-themed class! As I've been looking through old pictures lately, I've developed a new appreciation for the importance of preserving memories for milestones such as these. Katie's latest creation, Bo Bunny Birthday Book, will allow you to save your favorite memories from the day in a colorful mini-album format. Quick, easy, and done...memories preserved for the future!
Here's the cover of Katie's adorable album, made in the shape of a banner!
Here are a few more pages you'll find inside:

Hello, Memory Bound friends!
Thanks to all the Memory Bound gals who covered my classes during my recent absence due to the unexpected loss of my father. And thanks to Katie for providing such great blog posts while I was away. It is good to be back to Memory Bound, my "happy place"!
I'm super excited about my upcoming June Graphic 45 card set. It features 6 very special cards for wedding, anniversary, Father's Day, and more. We've just added a few more spaces to each of the two classes, so give us a call at (515) 965-1102 to sign up for class or order a kit!
I'm looking forward to seeing you in class!

Hello, Memory Bound Friends!
This post is for those of you who LOVE washi tape!
Bazzill just released some new rolls and they are AWESOME!!

The new antique Bazzill paper "washi" tape is decorative, thin and translucent. Love these new patterns! Especially how they look "roughed up!" Try stamping, writing, inking and misting the tapes before using on a paper craft.

Glitter tape!
Each fabulous sparkly color comes on its own roll...
but who can buy just one color of glitter?




Not only do we carry Bazzill washi tape, but we have loads from Queen and Co., Doodlebug, Echo Park and October Afternoon!
