thought i would share the card i designed for the make and take event this weekend at picture me perfect. it was a fun and crazy night. 9 make and take tables … and 3 hours to get them done. i have to admit i was a little nervous … as this was really my first time doing anything teaching-related in about 2 years. but it all went well … and everyone was so welcoming. very fast paced and busy … but that's how i like things!
i created this card using goodies from the MM falala collection. my favorite dot pattern papers, fun glittery foam trees, yummy ribbons, acrylic stamps … and of course, the tag maker! and i snuck in some swiss dot embossing on those punched circles … and some cardboard, string, and staples. this card was actually inspired by another card i made a few weeks ago … it was an easter card using scraps from a challenge layout i did. i loved how it had turned out … so i used the same design for this christmas card. since then … the easter card has been picked up for publication. so if you see an easter version of this next year (slightly different though) … you'll know which one came first! lol!
of course, i didn't take my camera. so i'll have to see if i can track any photos down. it was so nice to meet some of the ladies i've met through my blog and have passed emails around for a while now. some day i'll have to go back and hang out long enough to chat with them! like suzy kept telling me …. "laura, you're not THAT far from us". i know … it's only an hour. lol!
and now for the giveaway. i came back with extras of everything. so i assembled 2 bags with everything you need to make 5 of these cards. instead of it being a "make and take" … it'll be a "get it and make it". let me say up front .. i don't have instructions typed up … so you'll just have to wing it! ok … you know me, right? if you need help, all you'd have to do is ask … i'm pretty helpful i think! anyways. just leave me a comment if interested … and i'll draw 2 names randomly monday night! good luck!
comments for this giveaway are now closed … good luck!

That’s a very nice make and take. I love that it looks sort of rustic with the cardboard. I bought those tree stickers Saturday, so even if I don’t win your giveaway, I can lift the design.
