Online Classes and latest at my studio

 Hi there #Creativegirl,

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I haven't been very active here because I have been very active in creating content and classes in my online store. I have also been building a new website called Artful Ways Studio. Check it out here: www.artfulwaysstudio.com 

If you have visited here before, you probably would have noticed to the left side-bar that I have been working on bringing you an online learning experience with me. I have two classes running at the moment and more to come:

Hope to see you in class soon. You can book these classes on my new website and join them over on Facebook. My classes will be hosted in private Facebook groups, so basically purchase it in my store and then ask to join the group referencing your order number. Easy as that. 

This has been a hectic year for me. I entered into it with a serious injury and a broken ankle. In November 2020 it will be a year since my nasty fall and I am so thankful that I can see and feel a great improvement. My ankle has healed and I am very nearly back to my old self. "Carona-shmona" has caused a lot of change in all our lives and I don't think anyone really planned for such a worldwide event to affect their plans and hopes for the future. I am taking it day by day with a hopeful heart that I can creatively still plan and dream. My eyes are on the Lord and He knows my future is safe and secure in His capable hands. So, let's stay creative and keep a hopeful and grateful attitude. 

There is also a ton of content available on the Ivytree Studio website for you to play with and some updates to our store service. We now have one shop to cater to international friends all over. You can shop our Print & Play section and check-out using Paypal or your credit card via the Payfast payment option. Our printables keep growing and there is something for everyone from scrapbooking, cardmaking, Project Life lovers, creative journalers, planner girls, art makers, and faith journalers. We load new kits all the time. 

I big project that I have been working on for over a year now, is the Gracelilly Faith Art Journal that includes a World Bible Translation free printable. 

The idea of this printable journal is to bring an affordable option to Bible Journalers. Most girls comment to me that they struggle or fear to use their very expensive Journaling Bibles to test out artmaking in. They are afraid they will mess it up if something doesn't work. With this journal you print it on copy paper or even cardstock or watercolor paper that your printer can take and if you make a mistake, it's OK. Guess what! You can print it again. You can bind it with scrapbook rings or planner expander disks or even put it in an 8"x8" album. Having it as a printable means the sky is the limit. 

If you join my next online class called "Bloom", you can see this kit in action. I will also be doing some more videos on my channel so pop over and subscribe. 

My latest collection is called: Wendy and she is full of little surprises. Check her out here 

I have also been doing some physical kits lately and September sees the return of my Finesse Collection. I will also be bringing this collection in a Print&Play format for the international girls, as I am not yet shipping physical products overseas. I will share more on the Finesse collection in another post. 

If you want to chat or ask a question about my classes and products, you can pop me a line at artfulways@ivytreestudio.co.za any time. 

Until next time.
