i think it's a well known fact that i'm frugal to the core and i love to use my creative talent to make cards instead of spending outrageous amounts of money (and time) on a card that never exactly looks how i want it to or says what i need it to. so, i've become quite good at making cards. AND, and......i love showing others how to do the same!
that's why i'm super stoked to announce my newest class over at Get It Scrapped......Cards: Beautifully Handmade! REGISTRATION opens TODAY!
Cards: Beautifully Handmade (<----click to register)

I would love to have an opportunity to win a chance to take your class. I love learning new things.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I have just started making cards and would love to learn more tips & tricks!
ReplyDeleteWow I would LOVE to win this class. I always need new ideas and inspiration for cards!!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer of a class. Why would this be perfect for me?? Because I'm quite new to card-making and there are so many things I'd like. ...And I am frugal too:) So getting the class for free would really lighten my spending load!
Your class sounds wonderful. I do make my own cards but pretty much just your basic stuff. I think I could learn a lot from this class.
ReplyDeletePutting my name in the hat (and marking the calendar, so I can join in the fun).
ReplyDeleteSuch cute cards!!! I love to give handmade cards, too. I have such good intentions to make them in advance, but usually am scrambling to make one last minute and then it's just not as cute. I'd hope your class would inspire me to make lots of cute cards ahead of time so that they're ready when I need them. In fact, I may just go make a card now! Thanks for the inspiration and a chance to win more!!
ReplyDeleteTania, This would be a great thing for me because it would force me to take some time for myself and enjoy this class.

ReplyDeleteI like making cards too. But mine are pretty blah. I would love to win this class to learn from a pro like you.
ReplyDeleteIt will be the perfect class for me as:
ReplyDelete1) I'm new to making cards;
