Congratulations Card

Good morning bloggers,

Did you have a nice weekend?   I hope so.  We visited my Aunt and Uncle in Vermont.  The trees were gorgeous and it was great to see family and catch up.  The last time we were there was 6 years ago and it was fun to see the babies and kids growing up.

Today's card post is a celebration card.  My brother Christopher is 19 years old.  Last week he found out he passed his GED tests so he is now a high school graduate.  It was really a challenge for him.  Traditional school did not work for him so we were glad when he got involved and found an alternate way to get his degree.   Saturday he went to look at Southern Maine Community College and applied to their automotive mechanic program.  He is excited about the prospect of college.

I used a combination of papers and dies to make this card.  A few weeks ago I won some Cat's Pajama's die's and this one is now a favorite.  This die makes this beautiful flower image that is in the upper left corner.  The other dies are a combination of My favorite things and Papertrey ink.  I really wanted the sentiment (PTI ) to take center stage with this one and I think the mat layers and fun papers really pull it off.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

Want to learn to make home made cards?

I started this business because I kept talking to people who love making cards but just didn't want to invest a ton of money in supplies to get started.  I love teaching people and I love encouraging them to be creative but I don't want to sell them anything, only offer an affordable way to make some cards at a reasonable price.

Come to one of my workshops.  Pay a flat fee to learn new techniques.  The per class fee is between $5-$10.00 depending upon the location and how long it is.    Then pay $2.00 for each card you make.  All supplies are provided.  Walk away with a bunch of hand made cards you can give to family or friends for a simple one time fee.  If you have a bunch of supplies, just come to learn.  If you have no supplies, just come to a workshop when you need a card and use my stuff.  How simple is that!

I use all my favorite products and am not tied to any one company.  Since I don't see anything, i can truly teach and focus on the joy of crafting.
