<b><i><u>WORKSHOP OPTION #2:</u></i></b><br />
Choose to make as many as you want of each of the three slightly altered versions of the cards as shown below for just $1.50 per card. You will receive a full colour instructional guide but will only receive the specific materials for your cards (no additional items to take home & create with on other projects) and will use my stamp set at the workshop, but will not receive your own to take home. <br />

THREE EASY WAYS that you can send these fabulous handmade Christmas cards to your family & friends this year:</div>
<br />
Click <a href="http://www.carlacreates.ca/2012/05/inspired-by-pinterest-extravaganza.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to view each individual card!<br />
<br />
1) I will be hosting workshops at my home in Calgary in early June! Work at your own pace - make as many cards as you want, and you pick the designs you want! Variety of card sizes available (4.25" x 5.5", 6" x 6" and 5" x 7"). You'll leave the workshop with a fabulous variety of cards to have on hand for every occasion! When you email me to register - I'll send you a checklist with a close up photo of each available design. You let me know which cards you want to make and how many of each. I'll prep a custom workshop kit for you with everything 'ready to go & pre-cut' for the night of the workshop! <br />
<br />
<u>Current Workshop Dates at my home in NW Calgary</u> (Note: space is limited! Register early!)<br />
<br />
<em>Friday, June 1st 7:30 – 10:30pm </em><br />
<em>Sunday, June 3rd 7:30 – 10:30pm</em><br />
<br />
If you plan to attend - I would appreciate if you could pre-register as soon as possible, so that I can start working on your cards! <strong>RSVP DEADLINE FOR ALL WORKSHOP DATES is May 18th</strong>!<br />

<br />
3) Not in the Calgary area or unable to attend? I'm also offering these cards in take-home workshop kits - precut and prestamped!
