Wow, what a weekend. I taught two classes this weekend at Scrapbook Territory they were really fun. In both classes I had a mom bring their child with them for an artistic sharing day. It was brought back to me, how kids just aren't afraid to jump in there and create. They are not afraid of color or making a mistake, they just create. I think some of the adults were just a little intimadated. Got together with some friends Saturday night and had fun eating, drinking a little wine and stamping cards. Well I got to do cards after I finished cutting my paper for class the next day. This week I'm actually teaching a Dreamweaver Stencil class so I off to start getting ready.

Faux Watercolors using Copic Markers

For those of you who have copic markers and love to color, here is another way in which to use your markers. This class will use your markers direct to the stamp. I always add a little bling to my cards, just to catch the eye. We look forward to seeing you in this class on Saturday August 7th from 2-5 . On that same day I will be teaching Stenciling Basics from 10-1 the samples for that class will be on my blog in the next few days.

My Classes for July and August

I have been working on the samples for my July and August classes for the last few weeks. Of course with all the other things I have to do I have the first four done and will show them here.
I hope to see many of you in class in the next few weeks.

New classes

I have been busy working on samples for my classes hope to have them up by the end of the week. I also had an order for 10 cards that is also keeping me busy. I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July ours was pretty quiet here, my daughter has me hooked on the series The Tudors. So on the 4th we watched season 3, had a nice dinner and then went to watch the fireworks. I have some great classes coming up and I hope my students will find them fun. Looking forward to seeing all of you soon.
