Announcing....Amore-a-Palooza!





Unforgettable (song titles) creation station


What is the Amore-a-Palooza?  Well, it's a make and take Love Extravaganza, just in time for Valentine's Day.  This will be similar to the Christmas make-and-take two years back that was so much fun.  At the time everyone asked when the next make-and-take would be.  Well, it will be on Saturday, January 26.  Beginning at 12 noon I will have some finger sandwiches and a light lunch...a good time to visit with old papercrafter friends or meet new ones! That's also a good time to get a sneak peak at the various creation stations and decide where you want to start. Then at 1 p.m. everyone can get started piecing and creating their Valentines or other projects. For this workshop everyone can make 10 projects and spend as much or as little time in putting them together...some work faster than others and some may not want to make 10 projects. But, if you want to make 10 projects, and if you have not finished by 4 p.m. (3 hours of creating) then you can do layouts for the remaining projects and take the embellishments home to finish them there.



Creation Station - Old Song Titles (Unforgettable)

At each station there will be card fronts and card bases along with lots and lots of embellishments, just waiting to be be layered and popped onto the card.  Easy Peasy!!!! Quick and Easy!!!

And, if you don't need or want that many Valentines, then you can choose instead to make some Country French cards that you can use for all occasions.  You'll notice from the Country French sample pictures that many of the same embellishments are used on those cards as with the Ooh La La Valentines, but the colors will be deep reds, blues,  tans and browns for the Country French embellishments.

For me Valentine's Day is a fun, fun, fun occasion!  I used to make and give Valentine's to the employees where I worked.  It eventually became a tradition and everyone there started trading Valentines, just like when we were kids at school! Valentine's Day is not just for romance....it's also a time to say "you are special" or "so glad you are in my life" to children, grandchildren,  friends, co-workers, club members, or to take to nursing home residents.

There will be a $15 workshop fee which covers all materials.  ALL proceeds will be going to the Bryant Boys and Girls Club.  I'll be furnishing all embellishments so every penny will go to that worthwhile organization.

The creation stations are as follows:(1) My Funny Little Valentine (for the young at heart), (2) Unforgettable (that's what you are) which are Valentines using song titles that we remember well, (3) French Ooh La La Valentines and (4) Country French all occasion cards.



My Funny Little Valentine 
Creation Station

In this post I am including some sample pictures....as always they are just samples (lots more). You can use the cards as a guideline but I think once you sit down and start playing with the embellishments you may find some combinations you like just as well...or even better.  I always encourage everyone to get those creative juices going and don't be afraid to just sit down and go wild with different combinations.
