Candy Cane Christmas

I had my December card-making class this weekend and had 10 attendees. Lovely group of ladies. I made the mistake of going out to dinner the night before instead of getting those last minute things done...like stuffing the envelopes with each project and getting the framelits out of their packs so my guests knew which ones to use. Both of these were small jobs that would not have taken me long to do, but I figured I would have time in the morning. I didn't and then once my ladies started arriving, I got easily side-tracked and frazzled. Felt like forever before I finally got my act together. Learned my lesson, won't let that happen again.

This card has a belly band that holds it closed. I got the idea from a card I saw of Mary Deatherage. I used the Candy Cane Lane DSP and cut out lots of options.

We used the Candy Cane Lane washi tape for decorating the inside.

I love this card and made a bunch.

Cute little Bella

Today is a snow day! Kids are happy. Mama, not so much. I have a workshop on Saturday and lots to do. I still have 2 cards to plan, cutting of supplies, and getting everything together for the making of said cards. Oh, and clean house. I have a feeling school will be cancelled tomorrow too. The snow will melt and then it will get cold again and everything will freeze. Happens every year.

This cute little card was made at one of my workshops. Isn't this doggy so cute?!?!

 I gave 2 options for colors. We used Blender Pens and the ink pads to color in the cupcake and heart.
