It's taken a couple of days to recover and get down to business thanking Lisa and all of the organizing team behind
ScrapFest in Kitchener! Each year gets better and better - great to see so many ScrapFest participants with shopping bags brimming with the latest and the greatest goodies to make their projects and pages look great! Not to mention the talented group of teachers that I was fortunate enough to be alongside!
Special thanks to Bobbi-Lynn and Christine for their assistance in my workshop. With each student bringing their own 5x7 photo, we giggled, encouraged each other and were pleasantly surprised (at the drying rack) how fabulous and unique each cluster of clay hydrangeas turned out! The whole rainbow of colours were tinted to co-ordinate, some even multi-toned to match with the photos. There were good giveaways when the room got too quiet (everyone was concentrating and working at their scrapbox components) and then...the big reveal! The projects looked GREAT - hope you were all pleased with your accomplishment!
Thank you ladies for the opportunity to teach you a new skill, a fun project and to spend the afternoon with you! I hope to see you all again next year at ScrapFest.
Great to also connect with some of my industry colleagues (and as busy as the Marketplace was) missed seeing a few others too. :( The very talented
Vicki Boutin was prepping for her class right beside mine - she is one creative gal - always great to see her! A pleasant surprise bumping into
Kelli Panacci - always loved her style and colour palette! Good to finally meet Alessandra from
Stix2 and see Judy and Sheri from
In A Pinch Designs busy selling from their booth too. The
Scrapping Turtle was super-busy with make n takes - loved that photo idea!
Well, I am off to finish some flower projects that I have been working on last week - also some corsage photos to come...wedding and prom season are right around the corner!
Love Spring!
This idea came to me as a gift idea for a baby! I am always looking for new ways to include clay flowers into my paper art projects. When my former client Amy had a beautiful baby girl recently, I thought that a birth announcement/shadowbox would be a lovely gift...filled with clay flowers. Now, I changed the name for this sample, but you get the idea of how the everlasting flowers add to this adorable keepsake piece that can be hung in the nursery.
