Sew Retro!

Even though we're taking a much-needed breather at My Pumpkin Challenge this week, I still think of this as Pumpkin Wednesday, lol!  And what better way to show off our Pumpkins than by hooking up with this week's Retro Sketch #158??
So, I even decided to keep a square card base to go with the sketch, which, in my opinion, also pairs perfectly with the elements of Sew You!  I started with a layer from one of our card base choices in the Pumpkin Kit, then used one of the sewing cards to trace the curve called for in my blue layer.  I used that same punched piece as a template to pierce the "you" onto a piece of Daffodil Delight, which I then stitched with our white Baker's Twine instead of the yellow floss from the kit.  It's like it all just fell into place!
Paper Pumpkin - Sew You; plus, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight & Whisper White CS; White Baker's Twine; Pool Party Ink (on envelope); Star Punch (to flag sentiment.)

Mother's Day Corsage Class
I am so excited to announce this class - and I'm THRILLED with how our project came out!  You will be, too!  This month we will be making a beautiful corsage for that special lady in your life:  Mom, BFF, inspiration in your life (maybe even yourself - you deserve it!) - to wear again and again. The corsage is made up with a sample of each flower type in the gorgeous Build A Bouquet Project kit from our Occasions Mini catalog, and comes with a hat pin and stopper for fixing in place.  I have prepped each kit for us, and divvied everything out ahead of time to make this class ride on rails:  I'll be working right along with you to help further explain all the tricks I learned along the way!
Class is announced for Thursday April 9, 630 pm, chez Heroldt, or Saturday, April 11, 3 pm, also chez Heroldt.  Class is $20, and includes all supplies and instructions, plus snacks, drinks and a gift!  Just bring your usual kit, and a hot glue gun!  RSVP now so I can make sure to have your supplies prepped and ready for you!  (And be sure to let me know if you need different dates - I'm always happy to work with your schedule!)
