JUNE WORKSHOP - SEASIDE MINI ALBUM

Happy May my paper crafting friends!!

With the summer heat just around the corner, and summer vacations in mind, I decided to put together this Seaside mini album (5" x 7") for my June Workshops. 

 

The inside pages are created by using two pieces of 12" x 12" cardstock; scored, folded and cut. You will receive a package of the Seaside Compliments, along with all the paper product and embellishments to make your book. Cost of this workshop will be $27.00.

 

I would like to keep the workshops small (4 people each). If you are interested in attending this workshop, please email me at bbeckham1@q.com now so that I can determine how many days to schedule. Check with your friends and send me the names at one time so I can reserve your spots together. 

 

You have four options to choose from:

 

Thursday, June 11, 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Friday, June 12, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (New time)

Friday, June 12, 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Saturday, June 13, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon

 

Workshop fees must be paid by end of May. I reserve the right to cancel a class if participants are less than four. A refund or credit towards another class will be given.

 

Happy crafting!!

 

    

 

 

BUSY DAYS STAMPING CARDS

I have been busy the past 3 days with my workshops going on, and then I joined some friends from our stamp club and did some more stamping on Saturday afternoon and evening. Just couldn't miss out on what the Glitter Girls might be doing!  Here is one of my favorites that was shared by Twylla. I cut out a second hat and pizza and adhered with foam tape to give a 3-D look. Also slit his gloves a little and pulled them forward as if he's holding onto the pizza.

SEASONS GREETINGS

Seasons Greetings!  Today I am sharing a card I made with an Art Impressions stamp called "Seasons Greetings". There is Graphic 45 paper in the background, and I colored the image with Copic markers.  Added some itty bitty red brads and red ribbon. 

MERRIEST CHRISTMAS CARD

Had some time this afternoon, so I made this Christmas card. I wanted to create something using the reindeer from the Close To My Heart Cut Above Christmas Card Kit. I actually added Whisper ink to the reindeer so he would match the paper on my card. Snowhaven paper pack (X7188B) and Merriest Christmas Holiday (B1468) stamp set was used for my design. Now, created your own!  Happy crafting!
