This is my next A.C. Moore workshop targeting beginners to the craft. A Jeannette Lynton design (Close to My Heart founder), I am using this as a design piece for our second beginner's workshop. During this workshop, participants will work with buttons, bows and brads of their preference, discuss various attachment procedures and usage, and complete two pages. Journaling should be prepared in advance. In this case, I typed my notes on vellum and adhered it using vellum tape.I will bring my Sizzix Big Shot and Shadow dies should participants wish to duplicate my design. Sticker alphabets also work.
The workshop is scheduled for Wednesday evening, December 16 from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. at A.C. Moore's in Dover, Delaware. Workshop cost is $15.

· Working from a sketch
