It's May and you can feel the heat beginning to crank up. We find ourselves turning the air conditioning on in the Laser Den a bit earlier now - especially when the trade winds have disappeared. Recently, we had solar panels installed on the roof and it's nice to see the electric meter turning backward (even with the A/C running). That decision actually led to a recent laser job we just completed. Electrical inspectors require that all the equipment be clearly labeled. We submitted a bid and the next thing we knew we were making approximately 750 labels of various sizes. It was a nice job and we are looking forward to their next Purchase Order. If there is anyone who is thinking about having a solar panel system installed, please give me a call. I can give you a great recommendation.
For those of you that have been by the Laser Den recently or attended a class, you probably have seen our new stencils. "Clockworks" uses the popular gears motif and gives you a lot of flexibility when making a card. You can use any of the stenciling techniques - I would use black embossing paste and mica powders, but I'd want to try the air brush also.

A second stencil we designed was the "Footprints". It's intended to be used as a subtle background on your project, but as with most stencils, you can use a single foot print if you want. It's a great stencil and on the "cute meter" it rates very high. Fran is anxious to use them both in an upcoming class she will be teaching.

Speaking of Fran, her class on April 27th had to be cancelled because of illness. She's feeling better now and the April 27th class has been rescheduled for Saturday May 25th. It will be a Mini-Album and Fran says I should have the sample by this Monday (May 6th). As soon as I do, I'll put it in my next Blog. Seven people are signed up already and there are a few seats left. If you interested please give me a call. The cost is $28.00.
Fran is also scheduling classes for June and July. On Saturday (June 22nd), Fran will be having a class she has titled " Christmas in June". Two people have signed up. Details will be forthcoming. On July 27th, Fran will have another of her popular card classes using Prima's "A Nature Garden" collection. Give me a call if your interested in either class. When I see Fran on Monday I'll ask her for additional information. Times? Costs? etc .... You know ..."nothing but the facts"
That's all for now and I'll see you tomorrow,
Bill
