April Creative Club

April's Creative Club is Friday, April 10th at 7 pm. In honor of my hubby's big 4-0 will be making a variety of birthday cards using the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge and Confetti Wishes paper.

And, since every card needs a bit of bling I'll have a variety of fun embellishments for some added pop!

The cost of the class is $5, or free with any $30 CTMH order. If you are in the Northern Virginia area I'd love to have you attend. Please visit my Meetup Group, Manassas Area Papercrafters, for more info and to RSVP.

Hope to see you there!
