November Class Night







Like I said I would be keeping better updates on my blog. Our November class night we made shaker cards and small ornament package decorations. Arlyne did the demo for the package ornaments. What a nice job she did. I will post her instructions. Arlyne also showed us a product called "flower soft". I will post the link here as well. She made a wonderful card using this product. Check it out.









Nadine presented us with a shaker card. I also have the instructions that I will post. Donna made the suggestion of posting what we do in class, so we can refer back to it. The shaker card was quick and easy to make. What was so wonderful about her shaker card is that the white glitter made it look like "fresh snow fall". What a great idea. Last month we did a Gel Card, and that is when Nadine said I made something similar using glitter.






Nola who is my Upline has joined us as well. It is great to have her here as support for me. What is so great is that everyone is so talented. Nadine was a former SU Demo. She has so many ideas for us as well as for me. Her suggestions for a business stand point are great. I often think "where did she learn that", Arlyne is a wonderful crafter, she is up to date on all the new products and she keeps us all in the loop with new ideas. I love when she brings us something she makes. Everytime...I just "WOWED". Donna also is a very talented crafter. Arlyne and Donna have been crafting together for a very long time. Donna and Arlyne go to several craft weekends all around MASS, NH. Nellie is an Creative Memories Demo/Consultant. She has been crafting for a long time as well. She will be also helping us with scrapbooking ideas. Sandy is another long time crafter, she is very talented as well. She likes to try new 3-D ideas all the time, which is great for me! I think that her strong hold is Iris Folding. She had made some wonderful projects using this technique.

OK...I'm going to do better!!

I'm going to do better keeping up with my blog. My Upline Nola Burkhard has a blog now, and I really have to do better. I will be taking pictures of our groups monthly projects and pictures of our group. Last month...Arlyne and Nadine did not like the little baskets we made, but they did like the "gel" card. This month Nadine will be showing us a "shaker card" and Arlyne will be showing us how to make an ornament. I can't wait to see what they come up with. I promise...I'll have pictures :) Donna and I enjoyed making the baskets, I loved them as well. I'll upload one this week...they came out cute.
