This is my place to share with family and friends. You might find handmade cards, digital scrapbook pages, photos or a little chatter because those are the things I love. My blog is a work in progress, so be patient with me. Most of the time I think I will be talking to myself, but hey, I'm used to that!

My first workshop went well...

I actually had fun. I think everyone had a good time! They all completed three cards and I taught them the "faux stitching" technique. These are the three cards I chose to demonstrate. I think I've posted the first two before. The Christmas card is new.



I included recipes or instruction sheets to take home too. Those were a big hit. I wanted my ladies to be able to make the cards again at home so I am planning to use them again.

Recipe for the Christmas card. See the supplies list here at my SCS gallery



Here is a bigger picture of the Christmas card.



I also want to thank all the SCS Blogger group girls for visiting and leaving such nice comments. Check out the SCS blog list on the right margin to visit some really creative blogs!
