***NEW GROUPS STARTING***

Grab your card making supplies and come join other card makers for a fun way of making all kinds of creative cards to give and share! 

Card Making Group – In this group we will make cards with a particular theme (i.e.  Birthday, Memorial Day, 4^th of July, Graduation etc.).  Each participant will make 6 cards – 1 for yourself and 5 to share with the other members of your group.  Everyone goes home with 6 different cards to share with friends and family.  Group size is limited to 6 in each group.  You have one month to make your cards.  The first group is meeting at the store on the third Friday of each month to exchange their cards.  I have a second group started but it is not full yet.  Please come by the store or call us if you are interested in getting in on the fun!

ATC Card Making Group – This is a fun way to decorate a playing size card and swap with the other group members.  Completed cards can be used for embellishments on either your scrapbook layouts or on other cards.  Because they are small, the task won’t seem so daunting to complete. You will keep 1of your cards and swap 8.  Group size is limited to 9 in each group.  I personally have been doing this with friends for a while now and it is so much fun.  We were doing “themes” such as Spring, Fall, etc. and you really appreciate the creativity of others, along with your own!

You have one month to make your cards.  The first group is meeting at the store on the first Friday of each month to exchange their cards.  I have a second group started but it is not full yet.  Please come by the store or call us if you are interested in getting in on the fun!

Come and join us for any or all of the classes.  We look forward to seeing you!

Happy Paper Crafting!
