Lucky charms

I'm so lucky to be surrounded by loads of lovely craft products that make me think about a charmed upcoming holiday (very near my birthday). To get all of us in the mood, here are some samples of the cards we'll make in Fallbrook at our next crafty get-together.

Naturally, we'll use Authentique's newest line called Lucky...

And a brand spankin' new stamp from Art Impressions...

More adorableness from My Favorite Things Stamps...

My inspiration

And then from left field we'll get all Tuscan and dream of Florence! Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy this weekend's holidays filled with chocolates, smooches and presidential pomp.

Fancy meeting you...

Saturday I taught the first two sessions in a year-long series of card and tag making classes at The Making Place. We had a BLAST!!

First, this happened...

Gloria stopped by The Making Place to check out our classes!

Graphic 45 designer, Gloria Stengel, the artist that actually designs the cards and tags in this series, dropped in to say HI! Gloria is a lovely person, very warm and personable. She chatted with us for a bit and told us a little about the upcoming March projects. HINT: there's a bonus project included!

Next, seven fabulous, creative, fun and hilarious women spent the day creating eight beautiful cards and tags. Here's Mary with Gloria - check out the cool artsy stuff all over the shop, too! Now, I really could kick myself for not taking more photos while we were crafting, but we were having so much fun I completely forgot! 

Gloria and Mary

I promise to share more photos as we go along -- join us at The Making Place for our next card and tag class featuring March-inspired projects designed by Gloria Stengel and Graphic 45's Time to Flourish.
