NEW-Avonlea Card Workshop Sign Up NOW!

If you haven't seen the NEW Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter Idea Book, then you need to contact me to get your copy and check out all of the NEW Workshop On The Go Kits!  They are amazing!  I personally LOVE the NEW card kits!  Each kit contains a C-Size stamp set, papers, cardstock, card bases & envelopes, embellishments and an instructional brochure with the cutting guide-everything you need to create 15 beautiful handmade cards.

I will be hosting the NEW Avonlea Card Workshop on Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 9AM-Noon at my home in Choconut, PA.  If you would like to participate in this workshop, I need to hear from you by September 1, 2012.  You can contact me to place your order or simply CLICK HERE to place your order on my website and have your supplies shipped directly to you. 

I am sure you are going to LOVE the Avonlea Kit!  The kit is designed to make 15 cards (5 ea. of 3 designs).  Here's a look at the 3 card designs from the brochure, as well as the stamp set, which is included in the kit.

I went a bit farther and decided to give you even more options with this kit.  I created a couple of other cards using the same papers and pattern.  By changing the placement and stamp images, it gives you a whole new look to the design. 

Bottom Left is brochure design.

Upper Left is orginal design from the brochure.

Upper Right is original design from the brochure.

As you can see, this is a very versatile kit, but the choice is yours.  You can create 5 ea. of the 3 brochure designs, or you can change it up a bit and create them all!  Whatever you decide, I need your order & payment by September 1, 2012.   You can place your order HERE.  Below is the list of supplies I used.  The Basic Kit is $29.95.  Other items are add-ons & optional but would be helpful to you when creating the cards.  I will have my blocks & inks available, but you may want to bring your own to make things go a little quicker.
