Host a Gypsy!

Did you know we have a whole band of gypsies that love to pack up their trunks and travel to teach gypsy classes all over the world?

They're called our 7gypsies certified instructors and their classes are nothing short of pure gypsy goodness.  If you've ever wondered what it would be like to learn how to create like one of the gypsies, then tell your local scrapbooking store to host one of our many traveling gypsies!  

We've got two of our instructors busy collecting trinkets and stuffing their pouches in preparation for some inspiring workshops in Arizona.  Here's a little preview of what they'll be creating...

"Junk Gypsy"

will be taught by Debbie Crouse & Paula Cheney

at Embellish Scrapbook Boutique in Lakeside, Arizona on May 13

"Good Things" ATC spinner class 

will be taught by Debbie Crouse and Paula Cheney

at Embellish Scrapbook Boutique on May 14th

"Fat & Fabulous"

"Totally Random Times"

And we've recently caught wind of the buzz that mixed media & fiber artist Suzi Brown is using 7gypsies papers, gaffer tape and assorted embellishment in many of her upcoming classes at the Kimball Arts Center located in Park City, Utah!

we've been oh so bad!

When Wendy Rago, owner of Bad Girls kits invited one of our gypsies to be bad for the month of May it was an offer we couldn't refuse!  We were curious to see what a gypsy girl gone bad could do.

So Bad Girls kits put together some  gorgeous kits packed full of 7gypsies products and sent one of them to our very own Janelle Smith.  Her challenge was to create 4 layouts and 1 project using the "Postcards from Paris" kit and we hear she had an absolute blast playing with all the gypsy papers and ephemera in the kit.  Here is some of the evidence from this bad little gypsy's journey...

These are just a few teaser pictures of her work- but you can get the full story by clicking HERE.  We also thought these creations using 7gypsies ephemera from Bad Girls Jeni Boisvert, Kara Haupt, and Cari Fennell were simply inspiring!  

You can also join Janelle for a live chat on Tuesday, May 5th at 11 am PST.  Visit www.badgirlskits.com to get the inside scoop on what goes on in this gypsy girl's head!
