It's that time of year again. Time to make some holiday cards. In this workshop you will be making 5 cards. Three are Christmas cards and two are gift card holders. Cost of this workshop is $10.

Want multiple kits? just specify in your reply how many kits you would like. Unable to attend but would like to make the kit? Just let me know how many kits you would like and I will stamp them for you and give you the instructions on how to assemble them.

Come Scrap, Shop, Do a Workshop Project

Since this is my first event of the year I thought that I would start big and try to do a little for everyone! On Saturday, February 7th I invite you to come over anytime between 10am-5pm to come shop, scrap or work on a workshop project that I have prepared.

Shop- I will have all my inventory out for you to go shopping. Stamps, paper and much more!

Scrap- Need some down time to visit and work on some of your scrapbooking stuff or Valentines gifts? This is a great opportunity to get away from the distractions of home and get some stuff done. You are welcome to stay a couple hours or the whole day-its up to you. Just let me know if you are coming so I have enough tables set up for those who want to scrap (space will be limited, so save your space now).

Workshop/kit- I have put a workshop/together for you to work on. I do need to order supplies ASAP so please let me know if you would like a kit. Kit includes two two page layouts and three Valentine's cards for $20. (You are welcome to just order the kit to work on at another time.) You are welcome to come at anytime between 10-4 to work on the workshop kit.

October Workshop- Halloween Layouts

It's that time of year again! Halloween is quickly approaching and here is a workshop for all the great photos that you take to celebrate the holiday.

For this workshop you will be making three two page layouts. You will be trying your hand at stamping and embossing. As always your kits will all be cut out so all you have to do is distress, stamp, emboss and glue. Oh and maybe a little cutting for some of the stamped images. The cost to attend the workshop is $20. If you are unable to attend I do have another alternative for you. You can purchase a kit that includes the cut out paper and all the stamped images and the embossing as well as instructions on how to assemble. The cost for the kit is $25.
