The 411

Viva la Scrapfest!

What a great time. Totally worth every cent. ( If it had been longer & I had done more I know I would have liked it better than CKU).

The only class I took was a Ranger class taught by Jen Starr. Fabulous. There was lots of elbow space (not a CKU high point), great NEW products ( I actually won something as well), and lots of time to finish.

The class was a three peice canvas set. Using acrylic paint and layering masks. I will definitly hang it once I get the pictures on. I'm not sure how well the New daubers worked for this project, but they were cool & I will definitly order them for the store. They would be great for Clean & Simple application to foam stamps.

I was happy with my class. Theresa paid $90 for an Ali Edwards class. They made a mini album with about $8 worth of product. It was cute, but that's brutal. I guess you pay for the name...

The marketplace was great. I was unable to "curb" my spending. So that means they were a sucsess. I got some great new products, and a lot of ideas of things I can order. The Bohemia paper was a big hit. I was grumpy at times when I was looking at items that I ordered in February and have not reached my store yet. Theresa (of Bliss) was feeling the same way.

We hit up Western Eductional. I had never been there before. I liked it, a lot of stock, but I felt something was missing. I didn't spend nearly what I though I might. Got a nice bird image thou.

The crop was good. A little cold in that big room. I like to scrapbook in the warmth. It was hard to concentrate. I didn't get anything done in the first three hours. But I bought a kit to make some wodden letters and finished with a completed project! Then last night I did another project ( a little magnet) out of the kit. It was 32 bucks, but you get a lot in it.

The hotel was good. Minus the hairs in my bed. ( They did bring me new sheets). There was actually space availble at breakfast time (unlike CKU). So overall, I really enjoyed it. I would reccomend it to anyone.
