Unique invitations don’t need to be hard to make! In this class you will learn how to make several different styles of invitations that are simple but unique.

Participants will make four different invitations, and will have the opportunity to personalize each design.

Okay, it’s a bad picture because it’s nighttime right now, but I wanted to show you all how much snow we have. This is my front porch, with a path shoveled to let the dog out. That’s a full 11 inches of snow!

Here in West Michigan we are currently in the middle of a blizzard! As beautiful as it is outside (yes, I love winter!) unfortunately, that means that my Introduction to Invitations class has been canceled. As much as I understand the store’s decision to cancel, I’m still really bummed. I was really looking forward to this!

My husband and I got up early this morning and drove down the highway white-knuckled to my brother’s house to baby-sit our nephew. I was more than willing to take on the roads again to make it to the store to teach my class, but when we finally got home after babysitting we discovered that the entire stretch of highway between our house and my brother’s was completely shut down most of the morning because of several 50-70 car pile-ups! Yikes! I think the store made the right decision.

We will be rescheduling the class, so stay tuned for updates. I’ll post as soon as I know the new date.

My second invitation class, Creative Invitations, is still scheduled for Saturday, February 17th from 11:00-12:30pm. Hope to see you there – but in the mean time, stay warm!

Happy Crafting!

Here’s a sample of what I’ll be covering in the class:

• Top 10 lists for invitation makers – what to use and what to avoid!
• Tips for how to make large quantities of invitations without skimping on design
• USPS postal mailing requirements – how to make sure you won’t have to pay extra at the post office.

Plus, we will make three basic styles of invitations that have been tested and proven, and can be adapted to fit any occasion.
