As We Head In To The New Year...

I hope you are all having an amazing holiday season! As we head in to the new year I know I personally tend to reflect on what has gone on over the last year and think about what I would like to do in the upcoming year. For me, I am looking forward to taking some crafting classes, jewelry classes and art classes. Have you ever taken one of the amazing classes offered by Craft Fantastic? I had the privelege of taking three classes offered by Craft Fantastic a few weeks ago and let me tell you,
Check out this class pack of materials! And this was only for one of my classes!!!!!

OMG I had so much fun!!!!

 They give you so many goodies it is so well worth it!!! When a class is near you, definitely check it out. You will be glad you did. Keep an eye on the website for the announcement of classes and shows for 2018 and come see us!
And now for a quick and Easy New Year card, I actually went in to Microsoft Word and typed out the year and the sentiment and printed out on colored cardstock. Please note, I printed on my laser printer so there was no concern of the ink smearing. I used some layering dies and some more colored cardstock to layer up my card. Next I used some of the Tiny Glass Rounds and some Glaze & Glue to make my 2018 stand out on my card.

And to finish it off I added a double layer of ribbon.

 Wishing everyone a very Healthy and Happy New Year! Hope to see you at one of our shows or classes in 2018!

Hugs,

Judy
