Christmas in July

There was Christmas in the air on our card class night. We had a teacher (Angela) that was a true star. Thanks to her we made two Christmas cards and a bagalope. We were treated to some sweats and hot apple cider and a she even had a table top tree. I can't remember who brought in the candy, but thank you very much. I hope the girls enjoyed themselves as much as Ashley and I did. Thank you Angela.

Sneak Peak

Well I thought I would post the cards we are making tonight as a little teaser.....

Hope you like them.

Next week we will be celebrating Christmas in July and I have a couple of goodies up my sleeve.

Tuesday Night Card

I just realized I hadn't posted a card from Tuesday night class in a long time......sorry....Here is one of the cards we did this week and I promise to start posting more in the coming weeks.

For this card we used bashful blue, olive green, ruby red and close to cocoa cardstock. Inks were buckaroo blue, basic black, old olive, and close to cocoa. Stamp sets are Pocket Fun, Paisley Bkgd, and Linen Bkgd. Used the Word Window punch for the belt loops and a black marker for the stitching. Sponged Buckaroo Blue all over as well. We added googly eyes to the frog to give him a little more character. Hope you enjoy it.

Swaper up date..

Because there was very little interest in our Christmas in July, I'll have to scrap that swap. Would like to see more join in our monthly swaps.. Our ribbon swap is going so well that you can expect more to come soon. I am still looking for your input for swap ideas. Help me to help you. Don't be shy and drop me a line.. aydn@nbnet.nb.ca
Thank you,
