OCTOER 11 WORKSHOP-1PM

First I want to give a great big thank you to Pat who did a great job with her card design. She also cut out so many of the flower and leaf dies for us. A big woo woo for her. 

 The photo below is the display cabinet at SeaBreeze. Our wonderful crafters came in with beautiful cards. They will be on display for three months. Please take a look and be inspired to create. 

Because so many enjoyed our fall theme workshop, we are going to do it again for October 11 at 1PM. You can look at a previous blog for September. Samples are posted for inspiration. There just was not enough time for everyone to do more cards.

We all brought in fall themed punches, folders, and stamps to share. We are going to do this again. Please bring in what you have along with card stocks, papers, stamps, punches, and embellishments in fall themes and colors. The results can be for:
*fall birthdays
*fall thinking of you
*fall thank you
*fall get well
etc
You can also work on Halloween and Thanksgiving. 

Don't forget $1 for the supply collection...thanx
