Card Making and Preserving Special Memories
This class will be taught by a veteran card maker who sells her card line in Calgary at the big shows. She will focus mainly on Christmas cards for this class, and each participant will make cards to take home. Lori has lots of exciting ideas; she also designs cards besides making them. After lunch Lori will show some really diverse ways to display memories from vacations, weddings or any memorable occasion. The main idea is to get those creative juices flowing…whether making something for everyday use, using shells you picked up on the beach or displaying photos in ways you may not have thought of. Bring a bag lunch.
