Sonoma Anniversary Card

Here is a card I made for a 50th Wedding Anniversary Card.

I worked an hour on this card and then left it on the table.  Since the event was an hour away from home, I could not come home and get it. Sigh!! I had to stop at a store and, o.k. I know you card makers may not like this but, I had to buy a card.  

Well, I have an anniversary card already made up for a future event.

Footloose Workshop on the Go - APRIL Workshop

I am having a workshop at my House on Sunday, April 29, 2012.  We will be making the Footloose Workshop.

Basically, we will be making the two first layouts posted below.  It will start at 10:00am and finish at about 4:00pm (we usually always finish before).  Bring your own lunch.  The cost is the $37.23 (includes all taxes & shipping)

You will need to order the kit no later than April 15, 2012 to make sure you receive it before the date of the workshop.  You can send me an email at natracine14@yahoo.ca to order the paper pack or you can order it from my website http://natracine.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6598&CatalogID=1733.

Here are pics of the layouts we will be making.  I still have to do my journaling.

 I added Wooden Shapes - Seaside Shell to the second layout.  

This 3rd layout was using inspiration from the Sping/Summer Idea Book.  I modified the sizes of the cardstock since the picture was larger.  I still have to do the journaling.

 This one was made using the Magic Book.  I really loved how it turned out.
