Green at Heart - Double page layout class

I haven't taught a class since January and haven't designed one since last fall, so I felt like it was time to get back in the groove.  The newest Basic Grey just arrived last week and I just love the hot colors of the "Green at Heart" line.  In the spirit of recycling and with Earth Day just around the corner, I came up with a design that involved nearly everything "green", repurposed or recycled.  Twigs collected from my back yard, some fabric I had lying around, left-over canvas and a little paint all contributed to my "green" design.  Except for the ribbon, students will make everything by hand...even the flowers!

The Class will be taught in April at Scrapbooks-Plus. I'm still working out the date with the store, but it will most likely be Tuesday evening from 6:00-8:30 on either April 20 or 27.  Will announce the details when I have them.

Crocheted Handbag for Spring

I finally finished my first crochet project.  It took a while since:
 a) I didn't really know what I was doing and,
 b) I've been working on other projects these past few weeks.

My husband says it looks more fitting for a little girl, so I will most likely give it away to my niece or put it up for auction at my kids' school fund raiser.  (Although we are leaving for Virgin Gorda next month and I could maybe use it at dinner one night!).

FYI, the handles were from a canvas wine bag that my husband received at a golf tournament.  The bag was imprinted with the company's logo (and we would never have the opportunity to reuse it for anything), so I cut the handles off and sewed them onto the purse.

Though not perfect, it's cute and it was good practice for my next crochet project - an afghan (Lord help me!).  If it goes anything like my quilting projects, I may NEVER finish it!
