Cardmaking Class

I haven't made cards for years although I do have lots of materials. So when a free class was offered at Sunriver I went. It was so fun to be creative in a new way other than writing.

I remember now why I enjoy scrapbooking and designing my layouts-it's very artsy. So I took some class photos and made three cards for future uses. Will return next week and make more.

Everyone made their own design with materials that were provided and no two were alike.

Great instructors who showed us some fundamentals, gathered materials and let us loose.

Here's the three cards I made with decorated envelopes to match. They are on right, top row.

  8. I've done this! It was fun and I loved that I left with cards that I had made. From that point on, I truly appreciated hand crafted cards in a whole new light!!
