January 2011 meeting

The program for our January meeting was led by Marilyn.  She showed us a card that she had learned in an LOJ class last Spring.

                                                        Marilyn showed us her examples.

and then it was heads down, work on at least a couple of our own - one to keep and one to give to Nan.

The idea was to take a piece of cardstock and fold it three or five times (or multiples thereof?). Cut horizontal lines where you want to weave another colour of cardstock around the cuts.  It works well with double sided scrapbooking cardstock as well as plain colours.  I tried making my cuts only between the fold lines rather than straight across to see if it added a bit of stability to the card.

Thanks Marilyn!!

and Thank you to Louise for providing photos of the day!

More Christmas photos from Muriel

Thanks to Muriel, we have more Christmas party photos!! Unfortunately for some reason the order of them is random, thanks to the blog having a mind of its own tonight!

Remember Santa had to be told a secret before he would give out the gift? He seems to really be enjoying Diana's secret!
