On National Scrapbook Day? Which happens to fall on Cinco De Mayo.
I will be in Reno at Treasured Memories I will be teaching two classes and this fun little make-n-take.
Be sure to check out thier website for more info.
Remember these red flowers? I had such an overwhelming response to them during CHA Classes and make-n-takes that I decided to create a class around them. We are going to break out the alcohol inks,paints and glitter and get your hands dirty...I don't recommend getting a manicure before class. I am teaching this Corrina Book Class at Cool scrapbook stuff in Poway on April 4th
I will post more details in a day or two. Hope to see you there
Here's the photos from the Dare to Dream Mini Album Class....there were a few of you who requested photo's. Hope these help a bit.
I will be doing this sweet little purse book as a make and take at the AccuCut booth during CHA. I will update my blog with a time and date for those of you who are interested in stopping by. This was made using a darling new little Bare Elements Purse shaped book, my Love Struck collection, and a coordinating Bare Elements Die by AccuCut, along with several other of my favorite AccuCut dies.
Made this class sample for CHA. I used the Bare Elements puzzle and paired it up with a Bare Elements puzzle die by AccuCut....that die made it sooooo much faster to create and it will be a breeze to prep a 100 kits. I used one of my newer releases Play Cards to create this project.
I am only going to share one of the make and takes i am doing at CHA Winter in Anaheim for Creative Imaginations. The others you will have to come by the booth and find out what they are...I love a bit of suspense. I am actually slated for 6 make and takes for this show so I have lot's of fun things up my sleeves for everyone.
So with out further ado, here is one of the make-n-takes i would love you to come join me in creating.
There is nothing better than going somewhere you have never taught before, and feeling like you are home. i taught at SweetPeas and Snapshots on Saturday, from the moment i walked in the door I felt like i was home...and i felt extremely welcome. Look at this table Suzy did up for me....Imagine a table long enough to fit 20 people comfortably....now imagine that same table with my tattoos drawn on it large as life. I tried my best to photograph it for you to see. THANKS MISS SUZY! that was the coolest thing to see first thing in the morning!
The ladies i spent the day with truly were *Sweet Peas* and the projects they turned out were so fabulous...I love when my students take the projects and make them their own. That is such a compliment and such a nourishment to my creative spirit. I think one of my favorite pictures of the day was the collection of Bare Elements Dress forms all dress and modeling together. 
I spent the night at Suzy's...met her kids...Allie she is a gem, let me sleep tight on her bed, made sure i was well taken care of. Ben....He is just one cool 14 year old, quite the gentleman.
Sunday I did some Christmas shopping, and saw the movie "Pursuit of Happyness" if you have not seen it...go...and bring your kids. It will inspire you to pursue your dreams, be the best parent you can, and understand the true meaning of never giving up, and ultimately that the cycles of dysfunction can be broken...In so many ways I related to this movie. from my upbringing, to my struggles as an adult...to my current pursuit of happyness.
Are you actively pursuing your happiness? what are you doing to find that happiness?
