2015 Year in Review . . .

January found a new class idea: Graphic 45 tags each month of the year.

February workshops featured Graphic 45 book-in-a-box.

March travel workshop with another Graphic 45 book-in-a-box.

 

Every now and then I make a mini-book for myself.

This one was a really fun April project:

May: One of Laura Denison's brilliant patterns with Prima papers.

Getting ready for travel plans with a June workshop and 7 Gypsies travel papers.

A July workshop teaching a 2 page 12x12 layout at Checkered Cottage in Kirkwood MO

August plans for workshops at Checkered Cottage, Kirkwood MO

and

a group of great gals in Memphis TN

featuring Graphic 45's A Christmas Story.

A group of us began a 4 part series in September

with one of my all-time favorite collections:

Graphic 45's Botanicabella

There's something about October's colors that pull me in every Fall.

November's project features 7 Gypsies Christmas collection

and

Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Houses in a Box

created especially for my workshop.

Thanks Gina!

(PS: Not teaching this class until January so don't panic please.

And for those of you who didn't get into this class, I will be teaching

another one featuring birds and nests in the Spring.)
