Yes, I am still here!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything to my blog! I cannot believe the entire summer has passed since my last post, or my last class. It has been a warm and wonderful summer for myself and my family and we enjoyed every last bit of it. Although I was grateful to have no scheduled classes at Stamping Memories over the summer due to my crazy schedule, I did miss the creativity. Autum is close upon us and it is my favorite season of all. The brilliant colors really inspire me to be creative and begin new projects, gear up for the holidays and catch up on my scrapbooking. So that is why I am back! I will be teaching two classes in September and hope to see you then. Happy Stamping!

Christmas Card Factory

My first Christmas Card Factory class was last Thursday and the ladies did such a nice job! It was alot of pressure on them to make so many cards in a two hour class but they made me proud.

I am offering a repeat Christmas Card Factory class in early December so you will have another chance to attend if you couldn't make it to the first class. The December class schedule has not been posted yet but should be very soon. Here are a couple of photos from the class and the cards that we made. It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!
