Christmas in July Report

The Christmas in July workshop was a great success.. Thanks to those wonderful women who came.. As you know I will be repeating it in August on the 4th.. The ladies were so thrilled with the box of cards they made... We had a lovely day... And I learned a lot about over techniquising people. I will KISS now…. A lot more… (Keep It Simple Silly!!!..) I just had so much that I wanted to share.... And yet there is still so much more I have learned... I've put up some photos of what the "art studio" was set up like and a photo of the girls working hard on their creations... Again thanks to Liz for loaning heaps of stuff to me...

Inside Card (open)

A girlfriend has just recently had a baby... So I made this card for her.. I used some of the new techniques that I learned in Regional’s.... I stamped the vellum (pg 130) with Staz On (pg 144 ) and then coloured in the picture on the back with the watercolour wonder crayons.(pg 144).... Don’t forget they are ON Special this month(July 2007)!!! I also used the tag punch (pg 140) to punch out a double ended tag so I could tie the package together... Quite cute really...

Regionals

Regionals were awesome... I loved it.. It was a long day but well worth it... I learned heaps... I love learning techniques... This helps me to improve... and helps me to have more variety to teach to others... I am hanging to teach some of the new things I have learned!!! I will put some photos on here soon... We did some lovely make 'n' takes... it's great to get ideas from others.
