Online Card Classes-Pattern Play

I hoard love patterned papers. Signing up for the On Line Card Classes’ Pattern Play was a no brainer.  I also really appreciated that it is only a "week" long class.  (I put quotes around the week, because none of the classes I have taken were limited to 5 or 10 weekday days, they have had bonus days.) I have trouble keeping going those second weeks. I love all the information, but for my attention span it is a bit long.

I will be in California by the time this posts.  It is a picture heavy post of each of the cards for the class. I  so enjoyed the class. I took notes, I transcribed them each day, I did my homework. I posted to flicker often, but am combining them all in one blog post after the class is over and I have headed to California.

I made all the cards for Hubs to open while I am on the west coast taking care of a few things. 

If you have not taken an online card class, this is an excellent one to start with because of the duration, the fun topic and the large volume of card videos that take you through it step by step.  This is my third class and I have enjoyed them all greatly.  It was easy to use items I already had in my stash, but that shopping discount is definitely tempting. LOL!  I believe there is another week-long class coming up very soon. You can sign up for their newsletter here, and get the class notice as soon as they are announced.
