Technique Classes Postponed

I am sorry to say that I need to postpone having monthly technique classes until Sept. We are in the middle of redoing our basement due to the flooding in early June. We plan to have it complete by August 23rd. It has to be complete because I scheduled the carpeting to be laid on the 20th and 21st. Starting in Sept. the technique classes will focus on gift ideas for Christmas, Halloween, Christmas cards and gift tags. So please be patient with me and I will have a list of the classes and dates by the first week in August. I will continue to post card making ideas on a weekly basis. Stay tune.

Thanks for your support.

In Color leaving us next month

Can't believe it is July 5th already. We really need to enjoy the weather while we have it. I do most of my stamping in the late evening during the summer months. I love this card. It is made with most of the colors and accessories that are retiring next month.

Stamp Set: Sincere Salutations
Card Stock: River Rock, Groovy Guava, Whisper White and Ginger Blossom Designer Paper
Stamp Pad: Ruby Red
Accessories: Hodgepodge hardware (Antique Brass), Groovy Guava Double Stitched Ribbon and Stampin' Dimensions

Call or email me if you would like to place an order before they retire on Aug. 10th.

This card was inspired by a card I received at convention in April. I like that is versatile for many occasions just by changing the saying.
