June Cardmaking

We will be trying another quilling project from “Paper Quilling for the first time” by Alli Bartkowski.

Notebook from scrap binding

Just an example of what you can do with your binding scrap. I'm going to use this for my knitting notes.

Decorated Card Organizer

I finished another organizer. I added two extra pockets in this book - one on the back of January and one on the back cover. The back cover pocket is not a great idea. It doesn't have the flexibility of the page pockets and it doesn't stay closed as tightly on the bound edge. If you want to add an extra pocket, I suggest you do it on the back of your January page.

Quilling Card for May

 We will be making this beautiful quilling card, featured in "Paper Quilling for the first time" by Alli Bartkowski, in May. Janet will be our leader. Please contact Janet if you have any questions.
