Scrapbook Expo

[Debbie J]

I’m going to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo today from 3 to midnight and have my handy little business cards that Debi gave us at Recreate I plan on handing out and my handy little bag Beki made us the the PAO logo and lighthouse on it!

Tomorrow morning I have a card class and Saturday afternoon a card class.

Sunday our Adobe Card Class meets for our monthly meeting so I’m in for a fun weekend, unlike you east coasters. Prayers coming your way.

Sounds like a great weekend Debbie, have fun! We've got a scrapbook expo coming up in October, but I don't think I'll be able to get home for it.

Can’t wait to hear about it!

I did the make and take thursday night. It was supposed to last until midnight but I was done by 8 and I probably won’t do it again. I was hoping to learn something new but was basically beginner stuff and a couple were down right kindergarten! I did get a nice varieties of glue dots and tape from the manufacturer for taking the class and it was a 25.00 value. Also vendors were set up outside the make and take floor and had some good deals just for that night.

Friday morning I took a card class from Heartfelt Creation and we made 3 cards in one hour. The cards are beautiful but so many people in the class just could not keep up. If I was just a beginner I would have been lost. It was fast paced. In order to get 3 cards done in 1 hour you had to listen and pay attention and a lot of people were not so they were lost and complaining. For taking the class we got a free stamp set valued at 19.99, but of course what good are stamps without dies? Yes, I bought them!

Saturday I took another Heartfelt Creations class with the same results. The cards were Christmas and also very beautiful. Another free stamp set and yes, I bought the dies.

Other than the classes and the dies I only bought one other thing so I did pretty good. I made an ornament at the Creativity Center that was pretty.

This afternoon my monthly class meets from 1 to 3 so I’m looking forward to that

AND THE BEST PART.......my granddaughter, Caitlin gets here tomorrow evening at 9:30 and we leave the next day for Sedona and then on to the Grand Canyon, I can’t wait!

I’ll try to post pictures of what I made but if I don’t get around to it I will when I get back from GC.

Sounds like you had a good time.

Enjoy every minute with Caitlin. You’re so lucky.

A few photos. The 2 necklaces were both make and takes from Art Assemblage. One from Thursday night the other from their little shop they had set up.

[Debbie J]

The cards are super sparkly but the photos don’t catch that.

Pretty!

I can see how involved those cards are and how lost some people would be. One hour is crazy! Those necklaces are great too.

Have a great time with Caitlin! Loved Sedona and the area when I visited for a week years ago.
