Hi Everyone
This is my first post for the newest DT  I am on - Mema's Crafts. Mema's Crafts hosts a challenge each month. When you visit Mema's Crafts blog, just go to the current months challenge tab above the posts.

For the month of February there are two sponsors - Bugaboo and Stitchy Bears.  I have made cards using a digital image from each of the sponsors.

Both of my projects are Valentine cards.

I made an easel card using the Bugaboo digi image.

Here is my card using Stitchy Bear image- Flutter My Heart digi is a 5"X7" card.

The Altered Book for Cards Class

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since I last posted and for that I do apologize. My excuse?? Well I was prepping  for a class that I gave yesterday.

This class has been really popular. I have taught this class twice at Simply Said Rubber Stamps and have a 3rd one coming up Sat. Jan 31. I have 2 seats left. This class really takes a lot of prep time, hence my absence.

Let me share a pic or two with you. These show a page that is complete by two of the students.

I have added a new tab at the top here on my blog. This is where I will be sharing with you completed cards and other projects made by the students in my classes throughout the year.

To see more pics and a little more about this class click here. 

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back soon.
