WRONG DATE!!

Okay, so I am new to this blogging thing and I went in and edited an entry that I started last week. Therefore, the post I just posted (dated July 18) is supposed to have today's date (July 24) but it doesn't! I hope that makes sense, but just in case it doesn't the workshops are Friday, July 25 and Saturday July 26! Now, keep reading and read the blog with the wrong date!

Workshop Sneak Peek

This blog was an idea I had at the beginning of the summer to keep in contact with everyone and show everyone what I have been working on. Well, obviously, it hasn't worked out exactly as planned, because this summer has been CRAZY! I decided to try again, though and give you guys a peek at what we're doing tomorrow night at my monthly workshop at Noble Romans. Here are three of the cards:

Since this is the workshop to celebrate retiring stamps sets, we are using some retiring sets on each card. Use these links to see the retiring lists:

Retired Stamps List (Alphabetical)

Retired Stamps List (Numerical)

Also, I will be offering 20% off of retiring sets for those attending the workshop or buying a class kit! So don't miss out, reserve your spot today!

I also wanted to share a fun card that I made yesterday. (I am so easily distracted when I am trying to get ready for a workshop.) I have never done an inspiration challenge, but when I saw the bulletin at church a couple of weeks ago, I immediately thought of it as a scrapbook page or cardfront. So, here is a picture of the bulletin on the right and my card on the left. Do you think the person who designed it actually used Stampin' Up! colors?!? Besides the Tempting Turquoise being a little bit off, they match our colors exactly! Next time I will add some black lines, but I didn't think of that until I already had the front glued down. And, again, this wasn't what I was supposed to be working on!

Here are the dates for the events that I have scheduled for the rest of the summer. I have a plan in the works to add a class to make some of the table favors that I have given at workshops and maybe a scrapbooking class. So keep an eye on the schedule, because after school starts I hope to be adding some fun things. I may send out a e-mail survey to determine what times work best for everyone when I start adding new classes.
