Hi, I’m Renea Smith.  I am married to the man of my dreams and we have five beautiful children and two absolutely adorable grandchildren!  (Bet you can’t guess what my latest scrapbook obsession is!)  I’ve been scrapbooking for about fifteen years.  My sweet hubby has fueled this obsession by buying me an awesome camera and by not complaining even once about me taking over the entire office for all my “stuff.”  

I have a BA in English from Belhaven which, much to my parents frustration, I put to good use making absolutely no money home-schooling my kids.  (They did eventually forgive me - both my parents and my kids!)  I “retired” after about twelve years as a home-schooling mom and started teaching scrapbook classes at Michaels Craft Store.  (The idea was that teaching would pay for my habit.  Oh, well!)  For over a year I’ve been the Event Coordinator at Michaels.  My job gives me lots of opportunities to experiment with different craft areas and products.  (And lots of chances to see what’s on clearance, too!)

My scrapbook classes have included items from almost every department at Michaels.
I really enjoy trying to think outside the box of traditional scrapbook supplies to come up with new ideas and designs.  I love the whole creative process.  Now that Michaels isn’t having classes any more, several of my scrappin’ buddies and I get together a couple of times a month at my church.  If you’re looking for a place to crop, make friends, and have fun, let me know!  We have lots of room!
Perpetual Calendar/Date Keeper - $20.00
Instructor: Renea Smith (Click here for Bio)
Supply List:
(1)  Permanent adhesive like a Xyron (the 5 inch of larger), or tape runner.
     I know, we all like removable but you wouldn’t want to take a chance on this
     thing coming apart after a months of use!
(2)  Also, a strong adhesive that will hold chipboard or wood.  (I used Scotch
     Quick Dry Adhesive but you could probably use the Xyron if you like.)
(3)  Brown ink pad
(4)  Blue ink pad
(5)  Scissors and/or paper cutter

Tired of transferring all those birthdays and anniversaries to a new calendar every year?  Want a special place to keep track of all those important dates?  Then this is the class for you!  We will create a vintage looking perpetual calendar that will house all of your important annual events in one neat little metal box!  It even includes the pen (dressed up, of course!).  And, you can hang it on the wall or set it on your desk, whichever is most convenient for you!  Cute and functional!  What more could you ask?

*This class involves lots of stamping, inking, and gluing.  Colors and containers may vary.

Anna Bess Simmons - I am the wife of an amazing husband, and the mother of two precious girls. I have been scrapbooking for about two years. My interest initially began as a creative outlet for a stay at home mom. Needless to say, the involvement has grown. I have a degree in Interior Design and worked at an architectural firm until I decided to stay at home with our babies. After many hours of frustration over only making Play Dough people and playing with Barbies, I found scrapbooking. That's how my journey began. I attend several crops a year and teach classes at many of them. I have also been a design team member for It's Not Just Scrap. My daughters are now four and six and we enjoy scrapping together!
Valerie Barton began a passion for scrapbooking when she was introduced to the hobby many years ago. She has an eclectic style and loves to experiment with new techniques.   She has been honored as a Memory Makers Master and Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame Honorable Mention.   Her work has been published in Creating Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks,
Memory Makers, BHG Scrapbooks ETC, PaperKuts, Ivy Cottage Creations and other various publications.   Valerie lives in Brandon, Mississippi with her husband Mark and two
children Kaitlyn and Addison.  To support her scrapbooking habit she works as an elementary school counselor.

Now, my mother and I have started a small business out of my home called Kutitup Studio which offers bags of embellishments and other handcrafted items.  As you can see scrapbooking is my passion!
