Sign Up for Fall Virtual Card Making Classes!

Image
I'm SOOO excited about the next session of Virtual Cardmaking Classes! What is a Virtual Class? And why would YOU want to take it? What do you get out of it? I started doing the Virtual Class for several reasons. Maybe one of these reasons applies you? The date and time of an actual workshop does not always work with everyone's schedule. Especially in the fall with school activities going on! I work full time - so can only do classes in the evening. Going to class while your kids are in school is easier or you don't like driving at night. I live in Murfreesboro, TN - you live several hours (or days) away! You like to be crafty at 2am .... I don't (I used to...my body just doesn't allow it anymore!) You've never created cards. If you are only a scrapbooker, creating cards can be intimidating! I KNOW! When I went to create my first card I was STUCK on where to start!! You are afraid to cut your paper. You might cut something wrong a...

Bring Back My Pack - More Magical

Image
Today we have a special blog hop for you!  We are sharing our creations using the Magical Paper Pack that Close To My Heart has brought back in their BRING BACK MY PACK campaign.  The Magical Paper Pack has become even MORE MAGICAL with some updated colors that will be introduced in our upcoming Holiday Expressions (debuting September 1 to customers!). If you came from Michelle Stewart's Blog you are on the right track!  The hop is a big circle so when you get back to me you will know you completed the hop. This is a small hop so you will get through it in a breeze! I created all the layouts that were in the instruction guide that you can download when you order the Magical Bundle. I had so much fun (they were quick and easy to put together) I wanted to keep going!  Right now I have this THING with our new Stitched Thin Cuts.  I LOVE them!  I wanted to use them on a page with Magical so I pulled out my Stitched Circle Thin Cuts and cut a bunch of c...
