Classes will be this weekend and I wanted to share with you the projects we will be doing.  It is suppose to be very cold, so come on over, get out of the cold and do some crafting with us.

This 2 page layout will be featuring the beautiful La Belle Vie paper with some fancy squares cut out by the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.

This beautiful card, also using the La Belle Vie paper, is showcasing the January stamp of the Month which will only be available until January 31st and then it will be unavailable.

This fun card uses the Dakota paper pack and can be used for male or female.  Sometimes it is hard to create for the guy in your life--but this one is sure to please!

Of course we always like to have a 3x3 card and this month is no exception.  Here is a perfect card to add to your bag or gift for that someone special on Valentine's Day.  This card uses the embossing technique.

Welcome 2013!!  Hope everyone had good holidays with family and friends.  Check out this great workshop I am offering on January 19th for only $25.  You will get all the supplies you need to complete this box (using Avonlea paper and our new silver shimmer tape).  When completed you will have 10 matching cards, envelopes and a pen.  Hope you can join us for some fun. 

January classes will be on the 12th, 13th and 14th so mark those calendars!!  The new Idea book is here so everyone will get their copy at the January classes.

December 1st and the holidays are right around the corner!  Great day at the Bear Creek HS craft fair today and I look forward to the display tray workshop tomorrow.  Next week we will have our December classes and I wanted to share the class projects with you.

These cute 3x3 cards are made using the stamp set Cup of Cheer (B1404 $9.95)

This fun card using the Pirouette stamp set (B1409 $9.95) will feature the embossing technique.  It is a clean simple card, but looks so eloquent.

Gotta love the new cricut cartridge because of all the 700 fun items you can make with it.  Using the December stamp of the month Year-Round Cheer and one of the swing card cricut patterns, the gals will make one of these at class.  This great stamp set features an icon for each month, so what a great set to use for making calendars.  Remember this stamp set (S1212) will only be available Dec.1-31

This month the layout will feature the Avonlea WOTG kit.  Lots of fun shapes cut out with the cricut gives this one a unique look.  (Can you tell how much I love and use our cricut cartridges!!)

Display Tray Workshop

On December 2nd I will be offering a workshop using our wonderful display trays.  The cost will be $30 which includes the tray, compliments to match the paperpack chosen, background and texture paper pre-cut and a few other fun items.  Those planning to attend the workshop should bring 15-20 pictures so your project will be totally complete when you leave.  You may select the Pear &Partridge, Avonlea or Clementine paper.

This is a close-up of the flower you will make to add to your project.  The flower was cut out from the Artiste cartridge.

The Avonlea paperpack is wonderful to use with your black and white photos.

Look how beautiful this flower turned out!

Clementine paperpack is great to use with all those kid photos!!

November classes

The November classes were split this month due to several craft fairs, but we still had a great time with the projects.  The waterfall card we made using our cute snowman stamp set was a big hit.  Look at their cute little faces!!

The 3x3 cards were made using the scholastic paper pack for the base (pattern cut out using the new cricut Artiste cartridge) and the Pun Fun stamp set.

The stamp of the month (Capture the Date) was a challenge to come up with a card for class.  I did random stamping on our new Whisper card stock and then allowed the gals to create a card with their special date on it.  This card could be used for male or female because of the color scheme.

Hard to believe how quickly the holidays sneak up on us, but I like to do the Christmas layout in November so my customers have one of their holiday pages ready to go.  We used the WOTG Pear and Partridge.  These papers have such great color and design.  They will be gone after Jan.31st, so if you like them be sure to buy a few packs before they are gone for good!

Save the date--Saturday October 13th from 10am-noon, so you can plan to come to my mini album workshop.  You can make one or all of these cute albums for only $10.00 each.  You have four new paper packs to choose from:  Pear & Partridge, La Belle Vie, Dakota and Scholastic.  All papers will be precut for you to make it easy to quickly put these together.  Hope to see you there!!

 This is the front of the Pear & Partridge paper pack album.  The middle of the wreath was left blank so you can add a saying or a date.
