An AA Kinda Day

...AA standing for Artsy Acorn of course!

Mystery solved!  I found my missing punch and guess what?  It was right where it was supposed to be- neatly stacked with all my other punches.  How I missed it in the three times I searched there, I am not sure.   It's good to know I am not going crazy (well, at least not over a punch anymore!)

Here are new pictures of upcoming workshops.  I love sharing the pictures to show you what I am doing rather than try and describe it!  I finished up these projects and now am moving on to finishing up a wedding reception favor I am making for a friend.  I hope to finish those soon and will share once they are completed.

Here is a picture of the "surprise elements" workshop in September.  What makes these a "surprise!" is the fact that the confetti in the background of both the card and the sign on the birthday box move around!  This is all due to using some washi tape and a window sheet to make a little pocket for some confetti.  Its a fun thing to pick the card up and shake it, and most definitely for the birthday package.  Isn't that what we all naturally want to do with a wrapped present anyway? :)

I've also included some pictures for the October workshop, which will get us ready to go for the upcoming holiday season.  The "hello" card is using a sunburst technique, which is super fun and simple.  These cards remind me of fall, but the paper has a retro feel to it, which I loved.

  

Finally, I also included a fun thanksgiving card that will also go with the October workshop.  These great label stamps also include other seasons, so this style card can easy have colors changed out to work for halloween, christmas, or even valentines day.

I appreciate you visiting my blog and your willingness to read my ramblings!
