Jen Starr is a Mixed Media Artist with a fine art background who has been in the Craft Industry as a Designer and Instructor for over 10 years.  She is the Senior Educator for Viva Décor USA, the Creative Director for Art Anthology and is a fully Certified and Ranger Recognized Instructor (with 5 certifications from Ranger).   There are many companies and products that inspire Jen and she is an endorsed educator or has worked closely with many of them such as Ranger, Ten Second Studio, Viva Décor, Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels, Stampers Anonymous, Faber Castell, Basic Grey and Prima, just to name a few..  Jen has designed several signature product lines and currently has a signature line of paints called Dimensional Crystals as well as a range of Colorations mists with Art Anthology.  Her projects have been featured in many publications in the US and Europe including the “Ink Essentials” book. Jen has been making art her entire life and has been scrapbooking, card making and making colorful yet vintage inspired mixed media art since she married her wonderful husband, Mike, in 1997. They live in Northern New Jersey and have 2 children (11 year old Ryan and 9 year old Maya) who are the subject of much of her work. Empowering students with product knowledge and creative techniques is what Jen strives for in each of her classes! She has taught technique based classes at stores, crops, large events and conventions all over the US and regularly in Europe and Canada.  She has also been a featured instructor on several crafting cruises and taught at events such as CHA, CKU, CKC, Memories Expos, Scrapbook Expo, Bonanza in England, Scrap-A-Ganza in the Netherlands and at ScrapEvent in Sweden.  Jen also regularly demos inking and stamping techniques at trade shows such as CHA, SMAC in Paris, Krea Vak in Holland and various Distributor events around the world. Jen absolutely loves to teach her students to use their creativity and help them think outside the box. It makes her so happy to be able to share her skills, knowledge and love of the art of scrapbooking and stamping with so many others.   Memory Art Journaling Back to top If you are a scrapbooker at heart but are interested in mixed media and art journaling then this is the perfect workshop to get your creativity started! We will construct the base of your art journal in class and focus on techniques using a variety of mediums from Art Anthology, Viva Décor and Ranger to create some stunning backgrounds and effects while we work in your own photos. Glazed Metal Effects Back to top You will create a unique and gorgeous 8x8 chunky canvas in this fast paced mixed media class...think gift ideas!!  The photo samples above are just two possibilities…color choices will be completely up to you and your unique style! During the artistic process you will learn to take metal art to the next level by adding layers of gorgeous color. You will explore a variety of painting techniques with Ranger's Studio line of Acrylic Paints and learn to use some other multi-surface products to create some extremely COOL effects!  We will also focus on Ten Second Studios metal while you master the use of their molds and embossing tools effectively. We'll be embellishing with custom flowers made from Tim Holtz dies and use wire in a way that will truly have your creative juices flowing with all of the possibilities...You'll be amazed at how easy it can be to create stunning artistic effects!!! Steampunk Back to top No one develops product to create that vintage and steampunk effect better than Tim Holtz so we will be using lots of “Timspiration” to “Holtzify” this fun project (sorry, I couldn’t help it)!  In this class you will create a double 8x10” canvas panel wall hanging full of texture, inks, stamps, Idea-ology, Sizzix dies, UTEE, etc…but most of all we will focus on techniques!!

Scrapbooks & Gifts Back to top Soon the kids will be back in school, the weather will be changing and in just a few short months, it will be the holidays. 2013 is going by way to fast!  August brings lots of Family and Friend activities.  Not only is it “National Family Fun Month”, but it is also has Friendship Day, Son & Daughter Day, Artist Day and Relaxation Day to just name a few.  I cannot believe that Aedan is 3 ½ years old and Veronica is now 3 months.  I have always loved a good reason to have a party, so we celebrated Aedan’s half birthday and Veronica’s quarter birthday.  (Of course my birthday fell right in there too) Any reason to get together and celebrate and we are all over it.  I have been organizing my zillion pictures over the last several weeks and, now as I have been going through decades of family photos, I’m realizing just how much our celebrations truly mean to me and how much I enjoy looking back at them.  They somehow always revolve around good food and silly times.  While going through my pictures, I came across a couple of hand written recipes.  One was from my Mother-In-Law and several were from my Grandmother.  A flood of memories came over me seeing their hand writing.  I could almost smell my Grandma’s famous pies. What priceless memories!  I only hope to make such fond memories for my grand babies to remember me by!  That kind of stuff is PRICELESS.  I have decided I want to make a mini album of all these recipes from my grandmother’s, my Mother in Law, My Mom’s and others that I have.  I have found pictures of them over the years that I am going to include in this album.  We have so many great lines in the store that I am excited to get down there so I can dive right in.   We scrapbook to preserve our family’s legacy.  Our recipes are a huge part of that legacy.  Of what makes our family unique. I am excited to start this project.  Hopefully I have inspired you to scrapbook a few of your own family’s secret recipes, here are a few helpful hints… You can start your project in any size album, but I recommend about an 8x8 – not too small that you can’t include photos and embellishments, but not so huge that it’s hard to work with in the kitchen.  If you don’t already have all the recipes you want, start by asking other family members to pass them along to you.  Whenever possible, get a copy in the original handwriting. Don’t stress about scrapbooking every recipe – even if your family has only one or two specialties, go ahead and include them as layouts in your family regular album.  Go see the girls at the store for some great inspirational ideas.  New product is arriving from the Summer Trade Show.  We are excited to be getting in new things from our favorite manufactures…. Bo Bunny, Heidi Swapp, Graphic 45, Tim Holtz, Crafters Workshop, Doodlebug, Maya Road, Ranger, Cosmo Cricket,  Uniform Scrapbooks,  We R,  just to name a few.  We are excited for all the new tools and such.  Make sure to watch Face book as we will post as things start arriving.  Don’t forget to make your holiday Wish List early for new product and tools sell out fast! We are so excited to announce all the new happenings at the store going into the 3rd quarter.  Have you heard about the Fast & Furious for $15?  If not stop by the store and see what all the excitement is about.
