A doorhanger stamped with Inspire Butterfly Collage (G1352) could welcome visitors to your studio. It could also motivate you to finish a project in time to meet a deadline! Either way - the great collage stamp, the beautiful blue print from the Minuet 6x6 Set, Gold Glow Smooch Spritz and a fresh tulle bow create an artsy little project for a cold winter day. The fast-drying Gold Glow added a soft, light shimmer to the butterfly.

Here are some of the projects from this Sunday's Opposites Attract class at the Tukwila Impress. We'll create cards based on opposing design concepts like black+white, vintage+contemporary and mountain+valley folds. The origami butterfly accents a contemporary card in shades of red, gold and black, on matte and metallic papers. Please call the store (206 901.9101) to pre-register for the class.
Special thanks to everyone who took the Opposites Attract and Asian Elements classes last weekend - hope you enjoyed the class! Big Thanks too - to Robin - for the beautiful bouquets of pale "chartreusey-white," coral and burnt orange roses. Their fragrance and beautiful colors sure brightened this cold winter week!
