May's Card Party class...

Today, we're showing you the cards and tags that will be taught by Lindsey Amschler (top photo) and Amy Roller (bottom photo). Amy's projects always are based on an SG card sketch from the Sketch Support website, and Lindsey concentrates on vintage styles and techniques.

This is two-thirds of the projects you'll be making in the class. Katrina Hunt's projects will be shown in a later post.

This Card Party class takes place Thursday, May 10 at 6 pm. The fee is $15. To sign up, call 417-886-0440.
