"I'm a teacher!"

Yesterday at work (during lunch hour), we had a card-making class. Myself and two of my co-workers each designed a card; I designed a birthday card, and there was a Valentine's Day card and a sympathy card.

There were 9 people signed up for the class. We decided to do the cards in stations, 3 people to a station. Once everyone was done making the card at that station, they moved onto the next. It was kind of like speed dating...except in a card-making class! It worked really well, because we didn't have a huge line of people waiting to use one stamp or ink colour. We did the 3 cards in less than an hour.

The "students" were thrilled with their cards. We had quite a few ladies who had never made cards before and they were so surprised that they could make cards that looked as good as the samples!  Card-making is SO EASY :) As well, we had a lot of interest afterwards, because the "students" went back to their floors and shared the cards that they had made and the fun they had doing them. I got a message from one co-worker that said that the people on her floor had had such a good time at class, and that she will have to sign up for the next one! :) I think that is fantastic.

We are definitely going to do it again!! Probably in March. Just gotta find a new project to do!

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU!

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape
