Kathy’s recent work
Kim Hetherington taught us how to cut sheets of paper into sections, fold a front and back cover, and stitch them together to create our own book! We worked for 2 hours straight and beat the 6th grade class in doing so!

For our October meeting, we had a Round Robin card making feast! Sherry had us making envelopes form a variety of templates and decorating them at a second table. Leslie used small orange ink pads and black microns to make the cutest pumpkins for her card and Candy had us tearing strips of paper and staying the edges with ink pads to create bandages for our BOO! card complete with google eyes! Carole was had packets all ready for us to dive in to create her snow scene card with a bit of watercolor and a stamped image of black trees. Everyone loved the variety and ability to take several things home.
