Back from ScrapFest and off to CreativFestival

This past weekend I was in Oshawa, ON, at ScrapFest and next weekend (Saturday) I will be in Toronto, ON, for the CreativFestival. Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine asked me several months ago for some projects that I could teach and I can never say "No" to Catherine. I had a great time at ScrapFest and thoroughly enjoyed teaching two full make and take classes. A special shout out to the ladies from New Liskeard, ON! There was a group of them that had driven 6 hours at attend the event and they came to both of my make and takes first thing in the morning. I will look forward to meeting up with them again next summer when we travel up to New Liskeard for my Uncle Emmerson's memorial service.

Next weekend you can find me doing more make and takes in Toronto, ON, and a class. Sadly the class is sold out but I still believe there are spots available in the "Paper Playground" event on Saturday (make and takes).

Here are some images from the classes and make and takes that I will be teaching:
