Hi stampers, Phew, what a week, we had back to back classes with the beautiful Stampin Up Apothecary Art Stamp set and matching Framelits Labels Dies, and smack in the middle, we had a Big Shot Class too, so there was lots of rocking fun going on around here. (and me cutting kits like a mad woman, haha).
I made goodie bags for all the ladies for their class kits, and supplies that were included in the class, pearls, antique brads, blender pens,

I started by making a pile of hearts with my Framelits Dies – gosh, I love that set,
I used Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla,
Next I embossed them with the Perfect Polka Dots and Elegant Lines Embossing Folders
I embellished them with the heart Punch and used some scraps from my Paper Stacks – love those too.
and of course some BAsic Pearls and Rhinestones, the sentiment flag is from Teeny Tiny Wishes

I attached them to the gift bags with Linen Thread, then decorated with a 1/2" Stitched Polly Ribbon also in Blushing Bride
and I used the cute Cellophane Bags from the Holiday Mini and some heart candies – BUT – I didn't remember those candies being so BRIGHT – and they didn't go with my "soft" theme, I attached one to the bottom of the heart, and decided No!. so those goodies went inside the bags!….
Desert this week was Lemon Lush, it was so yummy

The Saturday gang made cookies with the very cute, Cookie Press.jpg)
I was so busy on Wed, I didn't have time to take pictures, but here are some from the other classes

Sandi and Allisa at Big Shot Class, they got purple gift bags because the projects were all purple, except for Allisa, who is my Pink Bling Girl! Hey Allisa!.

they made these projects

Dia at the Embossing table, we had to set up two big shots for this class, one for framelits dies and one for embossing

from left, Jenny, middle, Colleen and her daughter Molly. Colleen is a fellow demonstrator and she flew in from Minnesota, just for class! hahah – kidding, her daughter Molly lives very close to me and she was visiting her!, but I like my version of the story, tee hee…
It was Jenny's first time stamping and she did awesome, I think she is hooked. She took a picture of the card kit when we started, and we asked "WHY", she said, because she couldn't believe that – that pile of paper – turned into that beautiful card! – that's what it's all about right!…..secret – she is hooked! she's already planning a stamping party!…..

Molly's beautiful card, she took artistic license and turned her Designer Paper over for a different look – awesome Molly, I love it when students do that!….
It's also so fun to have mother/daughter teams at my events and I was blessed with many of those this week.

and I was also blessed to have my friend Marsha attend classes, all the way from Seattle Washington!. I would love to say again, ": oh she traveled all that way for my class", tee hee, but truth – her daughter lives here too and there is a brand new granddaughter, tee hee, but I do know that many visits co-inside with sneaking in my classes, LOL, , Loved seeing you again my friend!. She and the stamping Gang from Seattle always visit me at my Sequim events too.
So there you go, that was my exciting life last week, I love CLASS week and getting together with everyone, and especially during SALE-A-Bration because they always finish class with orders so they get their FREE products and it's so much fun seeing what they order.
If you couldn't attend class, – you can play along with us, because we have a Video class available for all the projects we made this past week.

Also – want to know everyone's favorite project? It was This Shawl Card!.jpg)
Ok, so this week is video week in the studio, where we rip everything apart and set up for taping, but I also design like mad all week, so February classes will be posted at the end of the week, watch for them,
Thanks so much for stopping in and see you soon!
Hugs and Happy Stamping
