I got to teach 5 classes this past weekend in Danbury, CT. I had a blast and had such a great time teaching new techniques to everyone. If there is one thing I love that would be techniques. Here are a few photos of the album covers that I taught. You will find all kinds of fun things to learn and play with on them.

This class everyone got to learn how to make ribbon flowers, play with Ranger Distress Crackle Paint and Inks, learn the many ways of using Stickles, learn to layer, layer, layer and layer patterned paper (because I love patterned paper) and accenting felt with a backstitch. It was so much fun and everyone did such a great job. They decided my motto was "No Stress". I took a training seminar once and it was so stressful I couldn't even cut my paper right, find the embellishments etc. I swore right then and there that I would never have a class like this and so far have kept to my word.

Okay next cover...


This class was playing with glitter and distress your paper edges and inking. I am always amazed as to how many are afraid of glitter. Do not fear glitter. Glitter is your friend and is a wonderful accent.


This one was all about painting, covering chipboard, using a craft knife, stickles and again distressing. It was so cool seeing everyone walk out of each class holding their albums that happened to look just like mine.

So if you have these products listed and have not tried them yet break them open and start playing. You are missing out on a lot of fun. My post next week will be about using the Fiskars border punches. If you have these and have not yet used them well get ready for some fun and super easy ideas.

Hugs,
