Deb Hook joins the fray with “Christmas Cards with Deb — Merry Everything!” on November 11 and November 19, as well as this month’s “Deb’s Favorites” cardmaking class, which features “Toasty Greetings” and will be offered November 19 and November 30. And we won’t be at all surprised if November 30’s offering of “Darn Cute Cards with Deb” includes a holiday touch as well! (the first two samples below are from “Merry Everything!” and the third is from “Toasty Greetings.”
