Swan Lake - Holiday Expressions 2016

Cinco De Mayo Fun

What a fun card class today. Flowers, cards and don't forget the homemade salsa with chips. YUM!
Tulips from the CTMH Artiste cartridge in a pretty gold mason jar. So easy to do. Use painters tape or vinyl to make your design. Spray with metallic spray paint. Then give it a clear glossy coat on top. Just make sure the gold is dry and spray the clear a far so it doesn't "smear" the gold. But hey, that could be a cool effect too. So many possibilities.

I will be holding scrapbooking class on Thursday May 12th @ 10:00 am & 6:00 pm.

If you cannot make it at these times I will have the kits and my boards at the ArtisticU Overnighter on the 13th-14th (Fri &/or Sat) if you are interested.  Visit  www.artisticu.net to see all the info and register.  It will be very fun and would love to see you there!
