Petal Garden Memories & More

Oh my goodness — I had a great class last night.  We used the Petal Garden Memories & More Cards.  Have you checked these things out yet???  They are a must have in your supplies — they are definitely MORE.  The cards make fabulous designer paper for making cards.

Everyone in the class received a package of the Petal Garden Memories & More Cards.  We made 10 different cards and a surprise project at the end.  Look at all the fun items in the card pack.

Sneak Peek -Quilted Christmas Suite

Have you received your Holiday Catalog yet?  Are you drooling over it?  I sure did when I first saw it.  I love the suites in this Holiday Catalog and my favorite, right now (because my favorite changes with each suite I work with) is the Quilted Christmas Suite on pages 4 & 5.  This suite is SO MUCH FUN to use.  There are so many fun embellishments and things to work with.

This is a fun card I saw on the Thailand trip last month and knew that I had to make it.  Sandy Carlson, the demo that shared this, was kind enough to share the dimensions with all of us.
