So I'm much better these days. That was a killer - I realized yesterday as I left the house that I hadn't been outside in 6 days! What? I had the windows open a few times for fresh air but nothing else! Yikes!
So anyway, I feel like I have so much to tell and show you. I have been blogging in my head as I lay around getting better. I will start slowly though, lol.
Today will be a sneak peak of a new class I am offering at the GASC this year. It will be at all four conventions - see below for a list of times.
This class is going to rock! It is brought to you by Cloud 9, Fiskars and Memory Makers and is just jammed with cool stuff! We will be using the adorable 6"x6" chipboard books that come in their own box from Cloud 9 - wow!! I could make a lot of projects with these board books. I love that the one we will be using is white so no worrying about sanding the edges or making sure the paper covers everything completely. Love that! This class is called Summer Fun in a Box because the album will be perfect for any summer photos - lots of green and blues which look great with just about any photo. The album doesn't have to be summer themed if you don't want - you could just create your own title - I'm flexible that way ;)
Here are some peaks of the project.
Can you see in the last photo all the cool textures? There are gel stickers that look like stitching, glitter papers, shimmer papers, etc.
So those is the cool parts from Cloud 9 - but what about Fiskars you may ask? LOL. Well, the amazing people at Fiskars have done it again. They came up with a great new tool and you will get a chance to try it out - the Fingertip Craft Knife. Now I had heard some buzz about this tool but I had never used one so I wasn't 100% sold but thought - let's give it a work out! So, so, so, so, so, so LOVE this TOOL! I hate cutting with a craft knife and will usually try to get away with as much as a can with sharp tipped scissors. I just can never get it to go where I want - well, I can, but I hate every minute of it. I actually shouted out to my family when I tried out the Fingertip Craft Knife - I cannot believe how easy it is to use!!! (OK. I am going to stop now cause this tool really deserves a post all of its own so I will save more gushing until another day since this is supposed to be about the class...) OK so you will get to use this tool plus a few others from Fiskars - the Treading Water border punch (way cool punch!) and some of the super-easy-to-use-that-even-Magnus-can-use-Squeeze-Punches. (I really think the marketing people at Fiskars should ask me to name stuff!!).
Can you tell I am excited about this class? (I am long-winded when excited!) When planning classes I usually plan everything in my head. I am a totally visual person and will work on the design and everything without even touching the paper when planning classes. So I planned this whole class without ever actually touching the stuff - just looked at the images of the product and let the ol' brain do all the work. So when all the product arrived this week and I got to actually play...well, I got really excited! This little book rocks - I really love this project and I hope everyone else will too. I mean how can we go wrong - Cloud 9 and Fiskars!
So anyway...will be back soon with more posts of all the things I have been blogging about in my head.
