For this month's class gift, I have everyone's new Catalog & Idea Book - woo hoo!  Such a happy time of year!  This catalog opens June 1 for orders, I already have my own list going, I can tell you!
To go along with it, I made everyone a bookmark, using the 2012-14 In Color suite: Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green & Midnight Muse, paired with their "fun" complimentary colors from the Color Coach swatch book - I like everyone to have an actual sample of new colors to consider!
Here are the instructions from tonight's class, as well - enjoy!

Here's a picture of the ADORABLE ( if I do say so myself!) tea and cookie treats I made for my class ladies last night.  I wish I could take credit for the design, but that belongs to Debi Pippin, as interpreted by Chiaki Haverstick.  Make sure you check out their fun blogs!
The cookies were of course lemon shortbread, because this time of year in Arizona, everyone with a lemon tree supplies all their friends with bags and bags of lemons - thanks, Barb!  It's lemon everything around here!
And of course, here's the sheet from last night's class.  Enjoy!

I wanted to post the little instruction sheet I put together for the Easter bonus class "Shadows & Banners."  Really just a quick recap of the shadow box "recipe" I built for us before, and the assembly advice on the banner flags.  Here it is for those that like to keep those things.

I also wanted to share a cute pic of the ADORABLE little treats I made for the girls, from the new Summer Smooches promo, of course!  That Petite Purse die was just burning a hole on my desk!  Had to break it in!  Here's the word - easy as pie, quick like a bunny, and fun fun fun to doll up!  I'm hooked!

Summer Smooches DSP; Rick Razzleberry & Daffodil Delight CS; Summer Smooches Designer Fabric brads; Mini Brads, brights; Paper Piercing pack; White Uniball pen.

Thought I'd share a quick picture of the cute "treat tubes" I gave away for Easter class!  So easy and quick - cut a piece of cardstock 5" by however long you want the tube to be.  Score every 7/8" - the leftover will be enough for a tab to glue the tube closed.  Make sure you punch a window and cover with a piece of window sheet first, though!  It's easier to add the ribbon now, too, if you do this "tote" style.  Punch 2 Fancy Flower punches from a coordinating paper, score the petals to fold inward, and glue on one end, fill the tube, and glue the other end. Voila!

Here are the class instructions for the cards from class as well - enjoy!

 
 
Yay, another successful day and evening!  Thank you, ladies!  Here is the Lidded Box Tutorial, as well as the card sheet...

Hi All!  Just wanted to post the instructions from my class for you real quick!  It was a great time, for sure.  These directions don't really include directions for decorating the kit (pictured below), I wanted to make them as generic as possible so you could make it in any theme your stamp-y little heart desires!  Enjoy!
