Spooky Books & Villages . . .

It's been an exciting weekend here at CraftFusion.  Starting with spooky books to spooky villages, we were able to celebrate Halloween in style.  Just take a look . . .

"Halloween Configuration Book" with Dana Edwards  ~   Friday, Oct. 18th
It was another full Workshop as Dana shared the magic of creating her unique spooky configuration book perfect for the Halloween season.  From wallpaper to ghoulish cameos, and using the "Arsenic & Lace" paper collection from Bazzill, this was the perfect Workshop for anyone who loves Halloween.  If you weren't able to join Dana, be sure to check your schedule and plan on joining us for her "Repeat Performance" of this exciting Workshop scheduled for Saturday, October 26th . . . you'll be glad you did!

"Spooky Halloween House" with Rebecca Lawther  ~   Saturday, Oct. 19th
From Trick-or-Treaters to bubbling witches brews, this is the perfect Halloween decoration for any home decor.  Starting with blank paper mache and wood houses, everyone in the Workshop enjoyed painting and decorating their piece with papers from Graphic 45's popular "Steampunk Spells" collection.  Sprinkle in a little bit of glitz and wild imagination, and each finished project was ready to place on display for years to come.   If you weren't able to join in the fun, don't despair . . . keep an eye on the schedule because Rebecca will be returning soon with another great surprise just in time for Christmas!

 

A special "Thank You!" goes out to everyone who took part in these two fantastic Workshops, as well as to our two great teachers . . . Dana Edwards & Rebecca Lawther. Give yourselves a big round of applause, Ladies & Gent!
