The class is just $15 per person, ALL materials included. And the fee is reduced to only $10, if you order $30 in product the day of the class.

I finally had a chance to play around with this month's special, "Miracle" . . . you can either make layouts with these products (full directions are included in kit) - OR you can branch out and make other great stuff! Here are just a few cards that I put together, using a sampling of the fun things included in the kit. See April 15 posting for details on the Miracle special.

Make These 4 Cards for Free

Invite a group of your friends together to make ALL 4 of these cards - and yes, they EACH feature NEW products!

MyCreations Recipe/Photo Box

Our NEW MyCreations Recipe/Photo Box is a delightful workshop project! This one, designed with Cherry-O papers, works wonderfully with our NEW "Sugar & Spice Card Kit" 4 x 6" recipe cards, dividers, MyStickease - that all coordinate together. Check out Page 32 in the Summer Idea Book to see the card set.

New Product Artwork - 3

These are our new Clear Cards. So much fun to work with . . . it's a whole new world! You can think outside the box in designing with these cards; what do you want to see on the front? What do you want to see on the inside but THROUGH the front? What do you want showing through the back? So many different perspecitves!

New Product Artwork - 2

This card features the new stamp set, "Beary Busy" and new papers, "Passages." This set features four different bear characters, four sentiments and four foliage additions. When I first saw it, I thought, "Cute . . . but so NOT me." Then, I just kept coming back to it and looking at it again until I decided I HAD to have it. :-) And I loved working with it! Our Waterbrush is a fantastic tool for coloring outline images like these. This card includes Twill Ribbon and Antique Copper Brads as embellishments. It's adorable in this 3x5 size.
