Here are the projects we made on Thurs. for Girl's Night. Thank you to the ladies that joined me and I hope they had a good time. The technique we focused on was Poppin' Pastels.

Dec. Girl's Night

Once again I had a great time at Crafty Girl's Night! The techniques I demonstrated were heat embossing, edge fraying and water-coloring with a blender pen. These techniques were all used on one easy holiday card. The second project was a pillow box using the Pillow Box die and the In Colors.

I hope to have another Girl's Night in January. The big deal with having a Girl's Night in January is that the new catalog is released and it's right before Sale-A-Bration! For those that have never taken part in SAB, it's a great way to earn new products. If you host a party, you'll earn even more! Stay tuned for more information.
