Kids Valentine Workshop, Anyone?

Several years ago I offered a Valentine making workshop for kids -- "Mom and Me", "Gram and Me" type workshop where kids could work with an adult to make valentines for their classmates or for family members. The cards would also be appropriate for an adult to make to send to kids.
  •  Just wondering if there is interest in that type of a workshop again. The cards would be stamped with possibly a little coloring -- probably no paper layers. 
  • Let me know if you'd be interested. The workshop would most likely be held on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.  
  • These are examples from the last workshop.  They folded in half and then were sealed with a heart sticker.

New Year Goals

Mojo Monday

One of my goals this year is to make more frequent entries on my blog.  One of the ways to do that is to participate in some card and scrapbooking challenges.  For the past few years I have using the MOJO Monday sketches for some of my cards, but have never submitted a card.  This is it.  Today is the day I submit my first card for MOJO326





It's a 4 1/4 inch square card. 
I used the following CTMH products:
  • Black cardstock 
  • the Outdoor denim print is from the Pro Player kit - X7172B
  • Black shimmer trim - Z1809
  • The silver glitter paper is from the Black and Grey Glitter Paper pack - Z1829
  • The penguin is from the Hostess Reward stamp set C1560 - Wintry Wishes
This is one of the cards we will be making at my January Card Workshop on January 14th.  Please call or email to reserve your spot at the workshop.
