Scrapbook Takeout Holiday Workshop Week

http://forum.scrapbooktakeout.com/index.php?showforum=108

ETA: Due to an outage, the forum was down on Tuesday morning and Francine's class has been posted to her blog, for now... http://francineclouden.typepad.com/tuesday_todo/

For the next few days there are a bunch of fun online workshops going on at Scrapbook Takeout!

Today's classes include a Paper Bag Christmas Card and Easy Evergreen Cards; Tuesday's classes include a Stacked Christmas Tree and Mini Album Tin Ornament; Wednesday's classes include a set with a Gift Bag, Tag and Gift Card Holder; Thursday's classes include chipboard ornaments; Friday's classes include Christmas Treet Boxes and a Christmas Ornament!

Please check it out, sign in, and let them know that I sent you!

Here's my quick version of Lizette's Paper Bag Christmas Card! I used only the paper bag, remnants from the FFC Exclusive Christmas Brights ALSB Kit, 2 mini brads, and one ink pad! This "card" would be perfect to fill not only with a nice big letter to a loved one, but stuff a bagged holiday drink mix inside, or some other treat that you can get relatively flat!

Have a Very Groovy Christmas! (New ATC)

Finally getting better after a month totally knocked out by a killer sinus infection and low blood pressure! I've been crocheting and knitting up a storm for some holiday gifts, but yesterday I got out my ink and paper! This ATC is fully inspired by Club Scrap's seasonal A Very Groovy Christmas Too Collection, using its stamps and solid papers along with some Ranger goodies and a new Sizzix die that my girls gave me for my birthday! (Scanned on top of Groovy Christmas Too 2007 Translucent Print.)
