February Workshop

Hopscotch Workshop on the Go

~  February 28  ~  7pm  ~

Hopscotch is a fun, bright new collection from Seasonal Expressions.  I enjoyed using Hopscotch - it is extremely versatile and easy to create with. 

I used the WOTG Kit (G1091, $29.95) and the layout included. I also used MIFYH Vol 2 #10 to make another layout, and the single layout on page 18 of Seasonal Expressions.  I did need some additional Glacier cardstock.

My computer is not allowing me up upload pix at this point but you can see the WOTG layout, and page 18 in the current Seasonal Expressions catalogue, and other Hopscotch layouts, inc Vol 2 #10, at Makeitfromyourheart.com, under artwork or December (2nd).

Look forward to seeing you soon.  As always workshop supplies may need to be purchased in advance, please have orders to me by Tuesday 17 February, and rsvp.  Thank you.

October Workshop

Pathfinding Workshop

 

~  Saturday 18 October  ~  7pm  ~

 

I am so looking forward to Fall, I have had enough of this heat!  I love the this season, the misty mornings, the cool evenings, visiting the apple/pumpkin farms, Thanksgiving, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, you get my drift. 

 

I had fun playing with the new Pathfinding paper pack and accessories and reliving some family memories while creating these layouts.  I decided not to use the WOTG Kit and opted for the Pathfinding paper pack, complements, assortment and the Thankful Heart stamp set.  (Sorry about the photo quality, is a little weird this month)
