Card-A-Thon Kits Available for Purchase

Last Saturday I hosted a Card-A-Thon event with the theme "A Year of Cards." It turned out great and everyone had a good time creating! Each attendee had 2 hours to create an unlimited amount of cards in whatever theme and quantity they wanted!

I created cards for one holiday a month using a variety of stamps and papers. I kept some of the cards pretty general, like July, making a birthday card instead of 4th of July.  Here's a closer look at each card (click on photo to see a larger version):

Most of the card ideas were based on CTMH's How-To-Books and on-line sketches but February's card was a total CASE of THIS one by Vicki W. 

For those that are interested I have 4 kits available for purchase! Each kit contains 12 cards, all pre-cut and pre-stamped for you! All you have to do is assemble them based on the included color photo and you're done! The cost of each kit is $15, or $20 if shipped out of state. 

If you'd like to order a set (or two) please choose one of the options below:

Northern VA Pick-Up  - $15:

Happy Creating!

Updated January Club Project...And I L-O-V-E it!

 

Well, my project for January was all ready to go but a shipping delay means my extra supplies won't be here in time for club this Friday, Jan 10.

So, what's a girl to do? I could have easily cried myself into a panicked frenzy or I could do what any resourceful crafter (because really all crafters are pretty resourceful in my opinion) would do and raid my stash to come up with a new project!

This month I'll show you how to transform your Christmas paper into a fun Valentine bag and pop-up card! Both projects are courtesy of the AMAZING Artiste Cricut Cartridge...no fussy cutting here!

As of today I have 4 spots left so if you are free I'd really love to have you attend. Start time is 7 pm and the cost is $5. I will also ship kits to out-of-towners and local friends that can't make the class(shipping is extra). Please use the link below to purchase.
