I am SO excited about the final Christmas Card Class. I worked hard this weekend to come up with exciting and varied designs. We will make 4 cards each of 5 designs. Four of the designs are in the picture below. The fifth design is a surprise! You will get to try out lots of new product from the Holiday Mini Catalog (which many of you received in the mail today!)—including stamp sets (Winter Post, Scandinavian Season), ribbon (Alpine Originals, 1 ¼” grosgrain ribbon), paper (Ski Slope Designer Series), a Stampin’ Around wheel, and just a teeny bit of embossing. J
Join me on one of the dates below (or both!) to create 20 Christmas cards with coordinating envelopes. The cost of the class is $30 (pre-payment required). All of the card designs can be adapted to fit your personal taste. Come enjoy some girl time, good food, and learn some new techniques! Saturday, October 18 Sunday, October 19 This class is a pre-order so I will need payment with your R.S.V.P. by Friday, October 3. I hope you can join me! One more thing…next Monday, September 29 is the deadline for the Halloween Treats Class. Also, I still have 2 openings for the September ribbon share.
10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
1:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Join me on Sunday, October 12 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. for a Halloween Treats Class. We will be making the projects pictured below. You will walk away with these 5 treats including the candy and an instruction sheet for reproducing them at home. The cost is only $15 (pre-payment required).
Even if you're not a big Halloween fan, you will learn lots of cute ideas that you can use throughout the year. Any of these ideas would be great for your child's class or for your friends and co-workers.
This class is a pre-order so I will need payment with your R.S.V.P. by Monday, September 29. I hope you can join me!
I hope you didn't miss me yesterday. I was taking a Labor Day of rest. :)
Today I started working on ideas for what we will make at my Halloween workshop. (I will post details about it in the next few days.) Here is one idea using the Stampin' Up! exclusive Baskets and Blooms Bigz XL die. These are SO easy and would be a great project for anyone!

Here were are almost at the beginning of September and I have already been thinking about Christmas cards! J I am offering two separate Christmas card classes. The first one is in September. I just LOVE the new Simply Sent Card Elements that Stampin’ Up! is offering in the new Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog (page 177). I finally had a free moment this morning to put together the cards. They were SO easy and yet so beautiful. Join me on one of the dates below (or both!) to create 18 Christmas cards using the Handmade Holiday Card Elements and the To You and Yours stamp set. You will receive one card elements kit, approximately 72 Stampin’ Dimensionals, and 18 Very Vanilla envelopes to complete your fabulous cards. The cost of the class is $26 (pre-payment required).

P.S. I still have two spots open for the August ribbon share. Read here for more details.
I intended to post these yesterday after my last New Catalog Workshop but I had to race back to church and then by the time I got home and we got the kids in bed I was exhausted from the (way to exciting) weekend we had!
Alex's 1st birthday party is Saturday so I spent most of the day putting things away and picking up the clutter. I figure if I do a little bit each day, I should be ready! The best part of my day was dinner and a trip to Home Depot with a dear friend of mine! She helped me get some amazing ideas to organize my stamps, ribbon, and punches. I'll share more as we figure it out.
Enough chatter! Here are the workshop cards and project from Sunday. The first card is from the Stamipin' Success (demonstrator magazine) and the other two are CASE'd from two talented ladies on SCS.

Have you ever made one of these boxes before? I have to admit that my first time was the night before my New Catalog Workshop last weekend. I loved it! I am just sorry that I didn't discover them before. We also stamped on Avery labels and included 5 Hershey's nuggets. So cute! (I saw the idea here on SCS.)
