WOW! What A Weekend!

This past weekend, I was a vendor and an instructor at the Newport Marriott in Rhode Island. I met some really wonderful people and was lucky to teach a class on Stampin' Up's! fabulous stencil products.

Above you can see one of the classrooms and above that is my booth across from the main room where over 100 ladies cropped till they dropped. Some even all night long.

Workshop Card

Geez! Look at the simplicity of this card. One color ink, Early Espresso.

Croptopia Getaway Weekend

I will be at the Newport, Rhode Island Marriott this weekend for Croptopia Getaway. Click here for more information. The ultimate scrapbooking and papercrafting getaway! Three days of relaxation and fun! Prize drawings, layout contests, workshops and more!

Sue Shallo, the organizer puts on a wonderful event every time. She offers goody bags to everyone full of brand new, cool scrapping stuff. There are raffles throughout each day for lots of wonderful prizes. And the locations and accommodations are first rate. Check it out!

This is my first time with Croptopia as a vendor and an instructor. I will be teaching a couple of stamping classes. In addition, I will be taking orders for Stampin Up! product while I am there.
The 8th Annual Scrap Pink is a favorite among folks who have been going for some time! Sue Shallo and Croptopia usually supports a charity cause during her events. In the fall event, she coordinates with ScrapPink, in support of the "Susan G. Komen for the Cure" charity for breast cancer.

Newport RI in November is beautiful and the Marriott is a great place to be - right in the heart of everything. Scrap or papercraft the weekend away, shop and crop till you drop, enjoy a chair massage... it's all here! AND I WILL BE TEACHING SOME WORKSHOPS.
The MARKETPLACE is open to the public on Friday 4-8 pm. Saturday 10 am - 5 pm. Admission is a $2 donation.

Hope to see you there.

Faux Silk Technique

This is an oldie but goodies technique. I really like what the hydrangea image does for this technique.

Easy Peasy!

Those new Antique Brads are just lovely!

Brrrrrr!

With the snow and sleet we had yesterday, this card fits well with the winter theme.

Another Mini Lunch Sack!

With the holidays around the corner, I wanted share with you something for your Thanksgiving table. Love those bags!

Mini Lunch Sacks (#121031)

Faux Tearing Technique

This one is from my Tuesday Technique Geek Class in case you missed it. The technique is Faux Tearing and this one was a hit!

Clear Block Technique

I had seen samples around using French Foliage, but I wanted to use Growing Green using this nifty little technique of using the clear blocks as inked images.

Just Believe-SIMPLE!

Simple. This card came together by stamping directly over the Greenhouse Garden Designer Series Paper.

Just Believe and Newsprint

A quick share with Just Believe.

Can you tell I was playing this weekend!

Fifth Avenue Floral

Garden Green, Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi. What a combination! I stamped the flower image from Fifth Avenue Floral onto Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out, mounted it on dimensionals and cut a strip using our new Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch.
