Be prepared for a journey into the relm of card making like no other…. okay so it’s getting close to Halloween and I just had to go over board.
September 29/30 – 2 days of special technique and card classes with Rose Marie with…
Class 1 – Bittersweet Wreath – These Autumn cards use stamps from our older Fall Collection together with our new additions including the Fence Row and Thanksgiving Blessing. Fall colours and stamps- one of my favourite combinations.
Class 2 – Canadian Christmas with Moose – We will be Celebrating our 150th Birthday with our Canadian Christmas Cards Collection (Yes Already) These cards can easily be made into cards for other occasions by changing the wording
Class 3 – Happy Halloween – Halloween is Coming with black cats, pumpkins and mason jars. One of these cards makes a surprise bookmark, great for a friend feeling under the weather.
Class 4 – Autumn Leaves and Winter House – Pearlescent Watercolour cakes are a great way to have shimmer with a depth of colour that is very easy to achieve. Easy and gorgeous a perfect card.

Congratulations to Karen of Orleans, ON. and her winning Card that she sent us. She parked her trailer right by the lake, in a very peaceful spot.
