We had a great get-together for the December class and we love it when we get great ideas from our class participants.

This is the Poinsettia cluster from the December kit and here is a great idea for using it for a non-Christmas card.

Based on the idea that the foil looks like stained glass we tried different colours and it turned into a great birthday card - or could be for any other occasion.

Thanks Heather for the idea.  We love it.

From flowerpots to presents to Christmas trees!

We did a little reinvent of the flowerpot card from earlier in the year and turned it into a present for Christmas.

We weren't the only ones with creative juices flowing - here's a great Christmas card we received using the flowerpot design!  How cute are these Christmas trees with this beautiful and bright poinsettia?

Thanks Jeanne! We love it.
