Finally, I am getting back to my blog! Technology issues have been challenging the past 6 weeks. As noted, I thought my computer had been repaired but such was not the case. It completely crashed upon the first attempt to use it at home. Now I have an new computer with a new operating system that has altered how some of my programs work…they just don’t seem the same. Trying to become a fan of Windows 8! Looking on the positive side – it keeps the brain challenged!
On to projects…the monthly card class was held this week and the focus was making thank you cards using the”Split Negative” technique. Below are samples of cards made in the class.

Though Christmas has passed, I wanted to share a couple photos of package decorations that were made to use instead of bows. The recipients were wowed! The “Bags & Tags” class also learned to make these. Credit for the idea comes from Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Tami White. She created a “Joyful Tidings” tag and the instructions were received from her. Since my packaging consisted of more traditional colors, I altered the concept and created the “Merry Christmas” tag decoration.
