Each month at Checkered Cottage I teach a Graphic 45 tag workshop.
Beginning December 2015, we're changing things up just a bit.
We'll be creating 2 Graphic 45 tags
and then incorporating them into
2 greeting cards.
December's theme: New Year
Third Friday of every month. 10:30 - 12:30
Hope you can join me!
has been very busy, measuring, cutting, sorting and kitting
for our Graphic 45 workshop in Memphis.
I ran out of boxes so had to use one from some shoes I had ordered.
The outside of the box read
*something addictive is inside*.
It's now packed with Graphic 45 supplies
so, yes, it is very addictive!
We are very excited about meeting 30 new students!
On another note,
Timi showed me how to complete this mini using
I think she saw it on their site (but not sure).
It has a very clever binding inside!
The binding is attached to the side of the box
so that when you open the box, the book opens as well.
What is it about tiny books that make them so fun to decorate?
See you at Checkered Cottage this week for
Wednesday's Heritage Layout
and
Friday's Graphic 45 tags.
After that, we're off to Memphis, TN!
