Always find yourself looking for that perfect card for the men in your life? If so, then this is the class for you. We will be using the new TRAVEL JOURNAL designer paper from the just released Summer Mini catalogue to create 5 fun cards with men in mind.

Unfortunately, the only Friday I have available for this class is May 21st @ 7pm. This will be the first May long weekend in 15 years that I am not going away…I’m sure there are others out there that will be around for that weekend?

If so…sign up below. Five cards and your very own package of the Travel Journal designer paper all for $25!! RSVP by May 6th to have your paper there and your spot saved. See you there!

Time again for my monthly designer paper class! This class will be held on Friday, April 16th at 7:00pm. The cost is $25.00 and includes a package of this very cool designer paper and five different card designs. Normally you would get to take your unopened package of paper home with you, but for this class you will need to use your package of paper as there are quite a few elements that you will need to use that I unfortunately cannot provide enough of out of my package of paper. Here is the AWESOMELY CUTE paper this month…..

Please RSVP by April 6th to attend. Only 3 spots are left!

OK, I have a question. How do all of you that have blogs, keep them up to date? You would think that I would have had a couple of free hours in the past six weeks to actually update this blog that I wanted so badly right? Right. It’s not like I don’t have enough self-imposed guilt in my life…but now I have to add not updating my blog regularly to that guilt trip too. Please, tell me…HOW DO YOU DO IT?????

It’s for reasons just like this that I often feel the need to get away…to run away from all of the things I have to do and just pretend that they don’t exist. I know…it’s called "denial"…and I’m very good at it! I just returned from our last scrapbooking and cardmaking retreat out in Canmore this weekend and it was FABULOUS!! The ladies had such a great time and we are soooo looking forward to our next retreat. Here are the details once again:
