Sorry for the lack of entries here!

We had a fun time with Vickie Branch of M & D Designs in Chinook Wednesday evening.  She taught a group of us to do Viking knit in Sterling Silver... it was interesting, fun and we had a bracelet when we were done.  Margaret Dessell and her daughter, Randi were here to join us.  Always good to see them and we enjoy their company.  Also joining us was Sharon Strong of Yakima!

The shop is full of wonderful papers, brads and embellishments, waiting for you to select your favorites!

In card class this week we made a flip card from the Paper Cuts cards and also a double shutter card.  Both were worth making. We used double sided paper from the scrapbooking side of the store to decorate the cards, with a stamp in the flavor of the paper... One was a beach scene and the other a general purpose card.

  Also we used the House Mouse stamp from February... it featured two mice holding up hearts that said "I love you".  We trimmed out the hearts and put a sign  in the mouses' hands that said Congratulations Graduate... and Dare to be yourself... a nice graduation card and a new way to use the stamp!  We colored with watercolor pencils, because of the soft effects you can get with them and embellished with the star burst gel pen, it gives a bit of sparkle, without using glitter. 

Our Saturday classes have been on hold lately, but would love to have you come and play... See you soon??
