My friend Michelle and I went over to a scrapbooking store in Vista to take two classes taught by Stephanie Ackerman. I follow Stephanie's blog, Homegrown Hospitality, and was thrilled when I saw she was teaching two classes at the Pink Pineapple Scrapbook Store.
Her first class was DOODLING. Okay, I love doodling; I'm a born doodler. And I love seeing the writing that Stephanie does on her blog, so I was excited to learn her "expertise" in the matter! Here's a sample of my first doodling, a tag with my name on it:
Michelle decided to doodle a word that (I think) pretty much sums up how she is all the time:
We even got to doodle my word for this year:
This picture was taken during my creation of my doodled create. I'll have to take a picture of the final product and show you how it turned out.
And finally, here's a picture of me with Stephanie:
So fun to meet her in person!
Her second class was a mini book, made from Kraft paper bags. She let us use lots of her ribbon and embellishments, and we were left to create at will. Michelle and I left before finishing, but we're both going to finish them (soon) and compare what our final products turned out to be. Michelle does a super job with mini books, so I feel the pressure to try to be extra creative. : )
All in all, it was a fun Friday night with an awesome friend, and a chance to meet someone in the paper/scrapbooking industry who is willing to share her creativity with others.
