A Surprise!

Hello!

Another weekend has gone by in a blink of an eye.  I spent more of yesterday with three talented artists in my Dansville Copic Workshop.  They did a great job.  I gave them a tough challenge, but they did a great job with it!

I didn't get a chance to tell you about Valentine's Day.  I woke up and started to follow my normal routine.  When I opened my laptop to check email, I found a card tucked inside.  I was so surprised.  Connor made me a Valentine's Day card.   He did a great job!

Below are Valentines the Monday students made.  They did great work!

Turkey-October Student Work

Turkey October-Student Work

October went in a blink of an eye. In fact, much of November as well.  I'm so sorry that it has taken me this long to post your work.  I've been buried under a pile of holiday cards. 

October's theme was Turkeys!!  You guys gobbled this Challenge up! 

by Donna

 Donna,  the paper is beautiful

by Connie

Connie,  love the turkey.  Cute solution to not having a turkey stamp. 

by Louise

Louise,  I love your creative approach to not having a turkey.  Can you guys believe that this is a peacock?


November's theme is a color challenge.  Make a card that uses red, white and silver.  You do great work!  I can't wait to see what you create. 


Gobble Gobble,

Anything Fall-September-Student Work

September went in a blink of an eye.  The colors in the North East are so pretty.  However, I admit that I'm dreading raking the leaves.   For now, I'm hiding at my stamping table looking at your beautiful work.

September's theme was fall.  Make a card that includes a pumpkin, apple, leaves, the list goes on... Here is what you created:

by Cheri (aka MOM)

Mom,  Love the texture on this card.  Great Job!

October's theme is "Let's Talk Turkey".  Make a card that has something to do with a turkey.  Then email me a photo of your card.  I will post everyone's card at the end of the month. I can't wait to see what you create!  Happy Crafting.
Hugs,
Chris

Going Buggy Student Cards

Hello Stampers!

This post is long overdue.  I apologize.  You did a great job with June's "Going Buggy" Challenge.  I'm so proud of your projects.  

Donna, You have a gift with color.  You always do an amazing job selecting patterns and colors that work well together.  This card is a great example of that!

Sandi, your book turned out great.  It might be hard to tell from the photo, but she stitched on the image on the front of the card.  Very Nice!

Marsha, I love your passion for card making.   I love the way you cut the flowers out on this card. Keep up the great work!
