Clean & Simple Card Making 2 - Day 1



I took this class last year and loved every minute of it and learned so much. This time around I am taking the online class with 2 friends that I met online...we are having so much fun chatting about the class and everything else crafty via Facebook. This morning I was late to class and was given a demerit so my alarm is set for very early tomorrow morning so I will be ready to play, learn and sip on a nice hot cup of coffee. We even got homework today but like Joyce said, it is fun homework, card making.  Today's lesson we have 4 card samples to learn from and love the idea of getting printouts to save to refer back to at a later time.


I am ready for class tomorrow, homework completed, posted and alarm set. See you tomorrow with another lesson behind me and more completed homework.

  1. I love it! What a great idea to pair up those two stamp sets. They look like they were made for each other. Now, you have got me thinking about more combinations. See you first thing tomorrow for more crafty fun.

  2. Kim I love that you used the chicken wire as your background, it is so fantastic! Such a cheery spring looking card, could use some of that here. See you in the morning, are you going to play hooky?
