Bridget Casey’s Free Saturday Workshop

Lemon is my favorite flavor . . . lemonade, lemon meringue pie, lemon sorbet, lemon drops . . . please indulge me as we make some deliciously lemony cards today.

A Live chat with Kelly Marie Alvarez (Lawn Fawn) and Jennifer McGuire reminded me of a very old technique I haven’t used for years . . . chalkboard. So that is what we will be doing today along with some tips for making mitered corners.

About a year ago I attended a memorable event in Syracuse, NY with the Altenew staff. The stamps and stencils we’ll be using today were used in our classes. Just a little warning: you may hear a little reminiscing during this class from those of us who attended.

Another such event is on the calendar for September. Check it out.
