Okay, hope you enjoyed this post and have a good weekend.

Next Stampin' Up! Class - 3 September 2011 - Sneak Peek

Hi all,

Hope you're well and enjoying your August so far. I've been really organised and excited about September's Stampin' Up! Class, as it's a card technique I've not tried before. Anyway, I got to work recently when the weather was 30 degrees outside and started designing for next month's class a lot more in advance than I normally do, as these next couple of weeks before the class will be busy ones for me.

Anyway, here's a sneak peek of what the ladies have in store for them in a few weeks time at the next Stampin' Up! Class on Saturday 3rd September.

Sneak Peek


Check back on Saturday 3 September for the complete projects in full.

Until then.

Bye for now,
