36 | LIFE IN SOLERA | MARCH 2025 |
March is named for the Roman god of war, Mars. Did you know
that in early Roman days, March was actually the first month of
the calendar? There were only 10 months in the calendar in those
days. January and February were not part of the calendar. They
were known as "winter." As March brings the first day of spring
(March 20), it's the start of new beginnings. March is also National
Craft Month. It was created to encourage people to explore their
creative side, try something new, and share their crafty creations
with others.
Something different is always fun, so this month we will be
making three fun cards. I design, cut, do most of the stamping
and put everything into individual kits. You can come to class or
just purchase a kit. With advance notice, my kits are complete with
step-by-step instructions and loads of pictures.
As always, my class is the third Friday of the month. This month
it's March 14 at 1 pm. If this is your first time, the cost is still only
$10. We meet in the Arts & Crafts Room. Mark your calendars for
the all-day Spring Fling class scheduled for June 7 and the Holiday
Card Art class scheduled for Nov. 1.
Please bring a fast-drying white glue (I like Tombow with the
green lids) and small sharp scissors. If you don't know where to buy
Tombow glue don't worry, I will have a supply on hand to purchase
for $3.75. I buy in bulk to give you the lowest price possible. Also,
if this is your first time, please contact me at my new email to
cardart101@yahoo.com with your name and phone number so I
can add you to my email notification list. For all of my regulars,
please respond to my email notification and let me know you are
coming so I have a complete kit for you. You can also call or send a
text message to me at (951) -231-3991. Can't wait for you to see my
creations! The cards above are from a previous class. ~ Vallarie
