Hi y'all! Whew...just had me some fun this weekend! It went by in a flash...maybe the fastest weekend on record. Lemme tell ya about it! Julie Ebersole, Amuse teacher extraordinaire, came to our local stamp store, Paper Garden, this weekend to teach classes! I have followed her blog for a long time and love her style and her cards and photographs. I was really excited to get to meet her in person and make some great projects. My friend Teadub, also a big fan, came to stay the weekend at my house and take a class with me. I was also very excited that my friend Shauna was in class! We made some new friends along the way too - Erna and Joy and Renee (shout out to ya gals!)
Julie is just as lovely and fun in person as I imagined and also very funny! The cards we made - five in all - we just so cute. We made this one card using some supah cool five inch wide ribbon she found! We stamped on the ribbon for a very soft effect. Also made some poofy paper flowers. The whole class had a flower theme. Great time!
Later on Saturday we did some power shopping at Paper Garden. Love the Copic Marker display to take pictures! Sunday allllll day we stamped in my studio and had grilled cheese sammiches. MMMM. I tried to accurately document the tornado that occurred in the studio with TWO crazy crafty girls!! You can see Mr. Buddy in the background. He LOVES Teadub! They are new BFF's.
Aren't crafty gal pals the best? What would we do without 'em? Luckily we don't have to find out.
Who'd have thought a pic of Copic markers would be so cool? :) Only a right-brained artsy creative person like YOU!! So glad to meet you and to learn about your blog ... thanks for the shout-out. Erna
