Wow. September might be the end of me. Crazy busy month but I'm loving all the stuff I have been making!!!
I was at CKU in San Jose last week...LOVED IT!!! Great event! Great workshops and teachers!! Awesome organizers! I really enjoyed teaching the Simple Stories Album Track class. Did you see the peek?
I worked on this class at the beginning of the month. It is an 8 hour class but everyone finished it!Can't wait for the next CKU!! I love meeting new people who love paper and glue as much as I do.
That was one down.
Next, Inspiration Unlimited in Henderson, NV. I have been looking forward to this one for a year! I met a few of the ladies who are going to be there in San Jose and I can't wait to see them again! Plus Teresa Collins...love her. And Ginger Nelson...seriously love her. Lots of friends will be there including my good friend Layle Koncar!! I can't wait to drive from Utah to Nevada with her. Good times will be had. So here is the second project I created this month (this week to be exact)...
I love how this one turned out. Well, I do love EVERYTHING fall and this kit is full of Little Yellow Bicycle, Simple Stories, American Crafts, Core'dinations, Queen and Co and Maya Road with some fun stuff from Kool Tak, too! And Scrapfest Oshawa friends...you will be seeing this class on the Friday night!!! Fun!!! Nevada, here I come!
At the end of the month I will be rolling into Ottawa with the Crop & Create Crew!!! Are you ready for us?!?!?! I just finished up both of those classes. Take a look...
This class is near and dear to my heart. It is inky, techniquey and messy...in a contained kind of way. You know me...I have control issues. We will be playing with tons on Ranger including Distress Ink, Distress Stains, Crackle paint and more. A little DecoArt, too. Some Pink Paislee and Heidi Swapp (LOOOOOOVE the Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays...what colour do you need??...ALL OF THEM!!!), Maya Road goodness (LOVE the White Out Maya Mist...you need that, too!) And some The Crafter's Workshop stencils and Hero Arts stamps. Can't wait to teach this...just sayin'.
This is the other class for Crop & Create Ottawa...
We will be playing with My Mind's Eye, Webster's Pages, Doodlebug Designs, The Crafter's Workshop and some Hero Arts stamps! Two double page layouts, 'casue I know that's what you like and good times. Can't wait to see all of my Ottawa peeps!!! I've missed you! Rest up and get ready to rumble!
I have one class left to design for Scrapfest. It is the Pink Paislee/Heidi Swapp album. It will be "based" on this one that I did for CHA summer...
The new one will be similar but different. I need to modify it for a class. I will be adding my stamps with Stamping Bella to this one, too!! It will be FUN!!! I love teaching mini books. They are my new/old fav. Mini's marry scrapbooking and mixed media to create the BEST creative outlet. Seriously. Don't poo poo the mini, 'cause I know some of you do. I challenge you to give them a try. I am going to be doing some fun stuff next month with the Simple Stories SN@P! stuff...hope you tag along for the ride!
Well now you know why I have been absent. September=CRAZY. But I missed you and wanted to check in. I hope I will be seeing some of you soon! Let me know what you've been up to. And...look what else is coming....
