A show of hands at the Great American Stamp Store in Westport, CT:
Aren't those inky fingers fabulous!?!? I taught 14 people in two art journaling classes on Saturday, and we had a great time. Most people were new to art journaling and everyone came away wanting to do more of it. I met so many creative people... it was a great day! Here are some pics from the morning class:
Me, Susan, Betsy, Patty, Debbie
Amy from Plucking Daisies
Betsy from Just a Pharmgirl
Paula ~ brand new to art journaling, and totally hooked!
Suzanne (sorry your eyes are closed but your smile is as bright as your creations)
Debbie (such gorgeous pages ~ but check out her water misting bottle ~ we were scared!)
Evelyn (rocking out on Dyan's ghosting technique)
And some shots from the afternoon class:
Loretta, Maria, me, Alison, Kerry and Susan
Alison (a member of the All Things Tim yahoo group!)
Kerry (that tag positively glowed!)
I forgot to take a picture with Judy, the gracious and lovely owner of the Great American Stamp Store ~~ but I'll have another chance when I return to teach an all-day class on Saturday, February 23rd. We'll spend the whole day creating pages that reflect your mood, style, and feelings. We’ll work with layered pages, create spaces for hidden and private journaling, and learns ways to increase the appearance of depth and dimension in your book.
Seating is limited and several seats were booked on Saturday when those classes ended, so please call the store to register. Thanks!
Wishing you a wonderful week with time to be creative, however you wish that to be...
Marjie
Looks great! Shame that there is nothing going on here in my corner of the world - no craft shop, no classes! Valerie

Love the hands, love the art, there are some stunning backgrounds there! Just goes to show what a great teacher you are when complete beginners, as well as some with experience can create like that. Hugs, Anne x

Looks like everyone had a wonderful time, created beautiful pieces and were obviously taught so well. Why are those plane tickets so darn expensive?
