One down...

and a few more to go... classes/events that is! I spent this past weekend in Kitchener, Ontario at Scrapfest and once again it was a HUGE success! Lisa and her amazing team out did themselves and made this one the best one yet!

I taught 4 classes in 28 hours so needless to say I was exhausted at the end but I would not change it for a minute! The Tattered Angels class started out on Friday night and was a nice pace due to the smaller size. Saturday was full speed ahead though as we started the day with the "Cut Above" class, then Shabby and Chic and finished up with the full house "Card Buffet"! A HUGE THANK YOU to my amazing class sponsors... we could not have done this without you and I am certain all ladies LOVED your goodies:) Be sure to check out the links for more fabulous ideas featuring the products by our Scrapfest Class Sponsors:0)

So what's up next... well, I have a couple of fun classes coming up within the next week at Treasured Memories and I am pretty sure there are a few spots left. Be sure to call 414-1540 and sign up today! Here is what is on the agenda...

This is the 6X12 Prima Build-A-Book I have designed for several different locations over the next couple of months. First place that it will be taught is at Treasured memories on Saturday April 25 (12-4). There is a possibility that it could go longer (in fact, it is VERY likely so be prepared!). It featured the BEAUTIFUL Communique line of papers by Graphic 25 and is enhanced with a plethora of stunning embellishments by Prima. This is one clas you do NOT want to miss! To register, call (780)414-1540.

It will also be taught in the Netherlands TWICE! Yup... the wonderful ladies in attendance at Simpel Scrappen will have the opportunity to create this lovely keepsake as well. Stay tuned for more details on this sure to be fabulous event as I depart for the Netherlands on May 20 for a few amazing days teaching a total of 7 (seven!!!!) classes in only a few short days! I am looking forward to seeing Carla and her lovely sister again as we have a phenomenal birthday celebration at her store. I am soooo excited to be a part of this!!! Check out her website for more details surrounding this class and all of the others!

The next class is one that I am particularly proud of! YUP! This "Sweetness" layout featuring the Bella Bella Collection was originally designed for the My Mind's Eye booth at CHA but within a short while of releasing the sneak peek, Scrapbook Trends Magazine requested it for their April Issue. Not only did it get published, but it was chosen as their "ONE AMAZING LAYOUT" and a small write up was done. I can now finally share this layout (one of my all time favourites) with you! BUT it will only be run once as the papers are already nearly sold out so it is not likely I will be able to get my hands on more of it to do the class/ kits more than this once. That being said... you do NOT want to miss out! It is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at Treasured Memories (6:30-9:30pm). Call 414-1540 today as there are a limited number of spots available. Interested in a kit... let me know and if I have enough left over, I can get one to you.


Now speaking of Scrapbook Trends Magazine, I thought I would give you a quick heads up that it is now available as a download online! How cool is that? Head on over to www.scrapbooktrendsmag.com to check it out! It's such a beautiful publication and to have it accessible at the touch of a button is GREAT!

I am also looking forward to going on an Alaskan cruise in just a couple of weeks with David, Jody and Becky from Scrapbook Trends Magazine May 10. We are hard at work tweaking the classes (I think we are doing more than a dozen between the 4 of us) and we have a lot of really cool things in store and amazing kits provided by pur phenomenal sponsors! For those of you attending this event hosted by OMC... I cannot wait to get to know you and have a wee bit of fun aboard this amazing ship!

There are also a couple of classes at Scrapbook Memories and More in Sherwood Park the first week of May. Be sure to call (780)449-0603 to register if you are into participating!


The first one is a layout class festuring the Bloom and Grow Collection by My Mind's Eye on May 4, 2009 (7-9). This layout was taught also at Scrapfest and it is a fun one perfect for those Spring and summer shots!

This next one is on May 5 (6:30-9:30- at least) and features the beautiful Flirty Little Secrets collection and a tonne of Prima goodness throughout this adorable Build-A-Book clear and chipboard album. Call (780)449-0603 to register for this one. It will also be taught in the Netherlands and at Treasured Memories at the end of May if you cannot make it May 5.

Last class for now is the Flying Heart class featuring a plethora of goodies from Riff Raff Designs and Tattered Angels. It is scheduled for May 7 at Treasured Memories.

Okay so that is it for now... have a GREAT day!

OH! and be sure to check out the Tattered Angels and Prima blogs for some super cool samples by our Design Teams combining Prima and Tattered Angels... truly a match made in heaven!!!
