Today is the first day of Clean & Simple Card Making (2), and already we have homework. At least it is the fun kind of homework. I am taking this online class with two friends who I met online. We have been passing virtual notes during our virtual class, and it's all been great fun so far.
We got lots of good hints to improve our cards today, and 4 sketches, too. I made cards for two of those sketches today.
They used speech bubble dies in two of their cards today. Those are now on my wish list. But, here is what I did today--I stamped one of the speech bubbles from Lawn Fawn A Birdie Told Me on Hawaiian Shores card stock, cut it out, and then turned it over. They also used some paper tape that came in full sheet size. Those went on my wish list, too. I'll bet you can see where this is going. I think I will have quite a list in two weeks. Thank goodness for the discount code they will be providing all participants.
One of the nice features they have added to this class since the first time I took it is that every lesson has a PDF, so I can make a binder of all the sketches, supply lists, helpful hints, etc.
