Anniversary Card

Just used some scraps (from the May Class paper) and made an Anniversary Card for Greg - he'll never see it here he doesn't even know I have a blog I'm sure lol...

This is the inside and envelope - literally took me 10 minutes to make.

Selfie Page

A single page that I made inspired by another consultant Wendy Coffman, soon as I saw it I knew I had to make it.  With the hand free doodling and the sewing on the machine I held my breath a couple of times until I was pleased to see it had turned out!!

May Club Class

May is my last month for the club this year!  I typically take the summer off from classes. 

Wednesday May 6 and 13th - class offered for anyone who wants to sign up - we will make the double layout "Relax and Stay awhile" with the matching cards AND we'll make a second double layout.

Cost is $30.00 for Supplies and a $20.00 order - you will have paper and embellishments left over (all extras are yours to keep).  There will be a draw for a Stamp of the Month.

8 seats only (3 remaining) Please let me know by March 30th if you want a seat.

 Below I have added photos - a flash has made the page a bit more yellow than it actually is - the color above is the correct coloring.  And I made the 2 x 2 photos on the left side actually 3 x 3 photos...
 

 Above the Second Layout for this month is a basic but beautiful lay-out.  Left side has a 4 x 6 photo and one 3 x 5 and one 4 x 4.5.  The Right side has two 4 x 6 photos and one 4 x 4.5  The flowers (I used yellow) can be colored any color that accent your photos - many possibilities!!

April/May "Bring Your Scraps" card class

A "bring your scraps" card class in April and then I will repeat the same class (if there is interest) in May.

Saturday April 25 1:00 - 3:30  or
Thursday May 21st 6:30 - 9:00

Cost is $15.00 per person.  Max 8 seats per class

I provide the cards/envelopes only (white and cream will be available to match papers that you bring). 

You bring your scraps that you have around home, scrap papers, left over sparkles, embellishments, etc. Perfect chance to use up the left overs in your scrap room.  Everyone's cards will be different - I will provide the instruction and we will use my stamp sets and inks.

The samples are sympathy cards BUT you can do Birthday or Thank-you in lieu of Sympathy or a mix of all.  A look at the sample photos will give you an idea of the kinds of things to bring.

You will complete at least 8 cards - great way to have some cards on hand.  Please let me know by March 30 if you wish a seat in either of these classes.

2015 March Class

Here is the lay-out for the March Class / Club  There is a flip flap on the right hand page.  Which will allow for 8 photos on that page!  One large photo 5 x 7 photo on the Left side.  Beautiful colors.

If you wish to sign up for the Wednesday class the cost is $30.00 for supplies and an order of $20.00 of items from the catalog.  8 seats available.  If you wish to sign up please let me know by February 14th.

Class Dates - Wednesday March 11th and 18th

Note your photos will slip into the slots on the mats for a cute holder.

Here's the second week layout - perfect for Easter or Spring (Spring will come someday).

 Inspiration for the above lay-out was from another consultant Pamela who is very talented - this lay-out was inspired from one she had in a blog hop - here is her blog link http://www.reflectionsofmyartandsoul.com/blog/

This Lay-out was inspired by the Close to My Heart Company and one of the Lay-outs that they did for the 2013 Album Retreat.
