January workshop

Here are some cards that we will be making on Jan 10, I'm sorry I don't remember who shared them on the CTMH board, thank you for sharing.  I will make some of these into regular cards, because I won't be able to cut enough circles and snowflakes from the cricut for everyone, trust me the cards will still look great.  The paper is the  Wonderland paper pack and this is only available till the end of the month, so call me to order this so you can work on your winter cards and layouts.  X7146B
