Well Wednesday saw our first workshop of 2010 and a chance to try out our recent club purchase – 4 sets of Nestabilities. And it looked like they went down a treat with some fantastic cards being made by you all. Unfortunately I got my camera out a little too late to capture many photos this time. (Please remind me at the next workshop!!) Anyway I managed a piccie of one of my demo cards and one of Karen’s – see below.
As promised here is the link to the layout pages on the Splitcoast Stampers forum for future reference:

Well done to those of you who have already completed your challenge for this month i.e. to look at the blog and leave a comment if you dare! Don’t forget to bring any suggestions of other links you would like to see on our blog to the next workshop or send us a message either via the blog or on email.
