Yesterday I experienced something amazing. I taught, for the first time, a scrapbook class at Columbus, GA’s own “The Scrapbook Shoppe”. Sponsored by Couture Cardstock, I was able to really cram a few fun techniques into a two hour class!

This is me and Cheryl, The Scrapbook Shoppe owner. What a wonderful, bubbly, fun, woman, she is! And these two, Claire and Jill, kept me going… that is for certain. I didn’t even have time to get nervous, they were able to ask all the right questions, at all the right times! (All the ladies here were so sweet, and just made me feel so comfortable!)

Cheryl was great about taking some photos, so here are some “action shots” during the class!

I taught the ladies how to make their own orchid flowers and a dimensional starfish out of Couture Cardstock, and then we created a layout and card using Couture Cardstock and Websters Pages “Seaside Retreat”.

Here is the layout we made! Aren’t the colors beachy and vibrant?

So you see the orchids and starfish? By the time we were finished with this class, I had everyone inked, misted, sanded, and sparkled!

If you like those orchids, come back and visit us on Tuesday.  I will be posting a tutorial on how to make orchids of your own, but these will be the non-beachy version!

This was so much fun. Thank you Cheryl and ladies for having me over to play! I hope I get to see you all real soon.
