Here are two sample cards for my Halloween Magic card class on October 26 at Art 'n Soul. They'll be at the store later this afternoon (Tuesday). The cards I had mailed to the store when I left for London on Sept. 24 are still missing in the postal system, so the third sample card will be coming out tomorrow night.

I was going through some boxes in my studio and discovered some Memory Box Halloween paper from last year that I'll be bringing to the store. (Andrea, your 5 sheets are at the store now!) They aren't making new designer papers because they are so busy with their gorgeous and fun dies. I hope they'll find the time in the future to design more papers because they've always been some of my favorites!


Check out Dianne's blog to see how she made this beautiful card using Templates from Magenta. The actual card is at Art 'n Soul and if Dianne is there, she'd be thrilled to explain how she made it.
