Dashing Class Time
November 9th, 2007
The time has finally come for my Dashing Christmas Class. The first session is tonight at 7:00 and the second session is tomorrow at 2:00. We’ll be making the gift bags and one of the cards I shared previously, plus this adorable little Cami Basket filled with Peppermint Patties.
My fabulous friend Cami demo’d these at Portland Regionals. What a fun, quick and cute project. You can view full instructions on Cami’s blog here. This basket is quite tiny in IRL and yet so many possibilties!
Our last – and most involved project – is this file folder album.
This is just a manilla file folder folded up and decorated. This idea came from another talented friend – Taylor. It’s good to have friends! *grin* You can view directions on her blog here. The folding seems a little tricky at first, but it’s pretty easy once you realize that the front does not match up exactly. I used the slit punch to create a place for the ribbon to slide through and then added a Build-a-brad. The tags inside are stamped with Snow Burst and can be decorated with photos and journaling as a special memory mini scrapbook. I also used Block Party (front and inside right) and Merry & Bright (inside).
A big thank you to friends Jen and Leann who helped me cut and prep yesterday. This class has taken A LOT more prep time than I anticipated and I could not have done it without them! Off now to finish up. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

These two projects are great! I have decorated a file folder and it’s a lot of fun. I really like how you used the slit punch to thread the ribbon through. I will have to try that the next time I make one of these. Thank you so much for sharing.
