Shoebox Cards

We have so much fun with Shoebox cards...almost a full house, we had nine ladies participate this last Tuesday and it was excellent.  Check out our creations...

 Anita made us be creative... she brought so much stuff for us to make our "collage" tag cards.  I am not such a fan of collage... so here is my interpretation.

 Deborah's quick card was fun!

 This is from a 6x6 craft card pack.  It was inspired by a CTMH consultant Jennifer Bennet.  cut off the bottome 6x6 and use it to make a 3x3 and the extra parts.  Using Roxie and Rock the Block

 3x3 card using leftovers from 6x6.

 This was Dulce's first time in attending cards and we were glad to have her join us.  She surprised us with this delightful Disney card.

 Kathy also is a first time attendee and helped us create this groovy Valentine:)

 Lori's Charming Valentine was fun to quickly assemble... Even the hearts were embossed.

 Melani showed us a fun fold card embellished with a flower created with eight circles that we folded and folded and folded:):):).

Roxxy's card surely sparkled.

Hostess Club Layout

The Third Tuesday is Hostess Club... we meet at 7:00 and create a 2 page layout.  There's good music, light chit chat and creativity... Please bring your basic kit (cutter, scissors, adhesive and blocks) and come create with us.

Here's the January Project... and of course you can choose your papers and colors to create a project that works for you. We are using the cricut on this project.
