| LIFE IN SOLERA | JANUARY 2023 | 29 Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday! As with every new year, we need to look at our calendars. Card Art 101 classes will again be the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, and the occasional 5th Thursday will be a special class. Seeing as the clubhouse will be closed for deep cleaning, our only class in January will be the 19th. Start time will still be 1 pm, with the cost at $10 to cover materials. Spring Fling will be May 13 and Holiday Card Art will be Nov. 11. Those two dates are my Saturday all day classes. The cards shown here were from our December 1st class. One of my ladies asked for a male birthday card, so I designed the red and blue one. Another one of my ladies asked for a wedding card, so I made the gold and white card. She chose a wedding sentiment and others chose a holiday sentiment. The last one is a three-panel card. The "thinking of you" flips open, then the embossed panel flips open, and lastly the printed panel flips open. These were all fun to make, and I was glad to put a little flare into the cards. As always, I design the cards, do all the stamping, and cut out all the pieces. Your kit will include pop dots, glue dots, gems, glitter, ribbon, buttons and anything else I can put in your envelopes. Come with your friends and assemble your kit with my verbal step-by-step instructions. It's always a fun class. If you can't come to a class, you can always purchase a kit with written instructions and pictures. Never made a card before? That's okay; everyone in the class can help you out. If you don't know what to bring, scissors and a fast drying glue is all you need to get started. After that, you can add some bling to make your card your own work of art. I have supplies on hand for you to purchase if needed. As in the past, I send out an email about a week before the class to get your RSVP so I have enough time to assemble your kits. If you would like to add yourself to my email notification list, please contact me at scrappinvall@yahoo.com or text me at (951) 231-3991. Looking forward to 2023! ~ Vallarie Clegg CARD ART 101
