Bring on Summer...

Well, it's been a busy spring (as I am sure you can tell from my lack of updates!) but I had so many wonderful experiences! With classes non stop locally (Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary) as well as classes in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, it was insanely busy!

I had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful scrappers from near and far and experienced some fabulous parts of the world. WE had some good times and I am forever grateful for being given the opportunity to share my classes with those that gave me the honour of their time and attended! I am always humbled at the number of people who come out to join me and I hope they enjoyed their class with me as much as I enjoyed teaching it!

Now, I have a couple of weeks at home before it starts up all over again. CHA Summer is upon us and I head to Chicago with Prima again (I know... I am soooooooo lucky!). I have worked CHA with Prima for the past few years and they are fabulous! We all LOVE their beautiful papers and embellishments and it is a necessary stop for retailers from around the globe when at this tradeshow. I hope that if you are a retailer, you will drop by the Prima booth and say "HI"!

In the next week or two leading up to the show, I will be going full force preparing samples for My Mind's Eye, TAttered Angels, Walnut Hollow as well as numerous classes that are on the books:D Although it is pressure... I THRIVE on it! I LOVE it and always look forward to getting to play with the latest and greatest! I hope I manage to do the products justice and the mojo fairy is good to me ;)

Onto classes:

On July 22, I will be teaching a class for Swirlydoos focussing on Prima. I am in the final stages of having the actual project complete but trust me when I tell you it's going to be a good one! The kit is BURSTING with a tonne of terrific Prima Products and we are going to learn a plethora of fun tricks and tips that you can incorporate into your future paper crafting projects. If you are in the Chicago area, sign up! Come and play with Ingvild Bolme and I in a fun filled day that you are sure to love! We are even going to stick around for a bit of the crop to hang out and have fun with the attendees!

Now, in case you cannot make it there is still a chance for YOU to participate! Kits will be available from Swirlydoos prior to July 5. If you PRE-ORDER you can be a part of the class as it airs live via USTREAM on Live WIth Prima! I always have such a great time doing the Live with Prima episodes and this is no exception.

Check back later this weekend as I plan on posting the actual class pics for this class! I am fairly certain, it will NOT disappoint you at all!

While on the topic of classes, I am now finished teaching my spring line up of classes and have a few kits left incase you are interested:D

Each of these classes were HUGE hits among attendees and photos really do not do the actual projects justice. Ladies were thrilled with the hefty kits and I will send the powerpoints for each of the classes so you will have step by step instructions with plenty of photos to walk you through step by step. I have never had anyone come back saying they could not figure out how to do it as the instructions are extremely thorough!

First up is my PRIMA "True Beauty" Mini Album... using assorted papers and embellishments from the REFLECTIONS collection, you will create a beautiful mini album with pages of assorted sizes and various mediums.

Class Kit Cost: $60.00 +Shipping

Vintage Card Class featuring Graphic 45's vintage inspired papers with some fun products that work so very well with these particular cards. They will blow you away with their layers and detail and a few hidden surprises. You will like them so much it is doubtful that you will be able to give them away!

Class Kit Cost: $35 +Shipping

Teresa Collins Designs- Timeless Mini Album... again, this kit is bursting with beautiful papers and coordinating embellishments. The project is relatively generic so you can use it for just about any theme. The tactile treasures and interactive components with captivate you and make you want to recreate it over and over so you can share with our loved ones!

Class Kit Cost: $60 +Shipping

If you are interested in any of the above, drop me an email at: trisha.lado@gmail.com and we can make arrangements!

SO I will leave it at that for now! As I mentioned, pop by in the next couple of days and I hope to have some more photos for you!

Have a great weekend!
