Lucy Workshop June 9th, 2-5PM

I have to admit, Lucy was not one of my favorite papers in the new Idea Book, it just seemed too "little girl" for me. But after playing with it and making this workshop, I really love it! I used it for my grandma's 87th birthday pictures from last year, and one layout of me with my 2nd cousin who turned 13 last year. I love how they turned out!

We will use the Cricut in this workshop to cut flowers that match the Lucy WOTG stamp set and other embellishments for the layouts. Please contact me by 5/19 if you are interested in participating so we can order supplies in time. I hope to see you at the workshop!
