Yes, it has taken quite some time for me to “get going”! Better late than never?? Yep, let’s just go with that…I can share all the “excitement” that has gone on in my life, but frankly, that would just take too much time…instead, lets just get on with what’s going on right now :0) First, let me get started with a “Be-lated Happy New Year!” Just a little bit of reflection, but none the less an appropriate greeting, don’t you think?? I’m really excited to get back to stamping and sharing! So many fun things to share – New Occasions Catalog, New Sale-A-Bration Catalog, New stamps, New Projects , Woo-Hoo – so exciting!!! Well, lets get started!
One of the things that I want to share with you is my Valentine and Birthday Fun Workshop. I offered this workshop last weekend, and will be offering it again this coming Saturday, January 28th. This workshop includes 5 projects, and two different themes to choose from. You’ll receive all the supplies, as well as treats to complete the projects, along with patterns to take home and duplicate. Workshop fee is $15.00 for one theme, and if you’d like to do both themes, you’ll receive a $5.00 discount for a total of $25.00.

Birthday Fun Workshop
My Birthday Fun workshop creates these five fun projects using the new Stampin’ Up! Carousel Birthday stamp set (#142832) found on page 9 from the 2017 Stampin’ Up! Occcasions catalog. The five projects included in this workshop are a 5″ X 7″ Greeting card, 3 3/4″ X 7″ Gift Card Holder/Gift Box, Treat Tent, Candy Bar Wrapper, and Nugget Treat.
Now using the same projects, but just a different theme: My Valentine Workshop

“My Valentine” Workshop
For the “my Valentine workshop I used multiple stamp sets. The first, the new “Sealed With Love”(#3142815) stamp set from the 2017 Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog, found page 15. The other stamp set – “Bloomin’ Love” (#140643), found in the annual catalog, on page 46. Along with the stamp set, I also used the coordinating die – “Bloomin Heart Thinlet #140621. I absolutely love the deep red from both the Real Red Stampin’ Up! card stock and ink. I had so much fun at my first workshop, looking forward to workshop number two!
Hoping you’ll be able to return back soon for more sharing and inspiration, til’ then, hoping your day is filled with blessings, Hugs, Evette Michelle
