Want to see what has been taking up all my time?

This is the paper for my CHA classes! Can you believe it? This is the paper for 400+ class kits (and doesn’t include all the embellishments!)

Good thing I love teaching workshops!

Calling all CHA Attendees

cjr — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:56:54 +0000

This post won’t apply to everyone but I thought I would share this info for those who are attending the winter Craft & Hobby Show (CHA) in January (Anaheim, CA). I am teaching 4 workshops at the show – each based on a different area of papercrafting (mini albums, cardmaking, scrapbook pages, gift packaging). The focus of the workshops is adhesive (SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY3L™) which might seem basic but if you have ever taken a class with me you know it will be anything but boring! LOL There is a lot to be learned about adhesive since it is literally what holds your projects together! I have a ton of tricks up my sleeve which I will be sharing and there will be no question too silly to be asked and answered. There are a TON of projects to be completed during the classes which will be great for store samples or to base your own workshops from.

And the added bonus….no cutting! Yes, that is right! Everything is prepped for you so you get right down to the fun stuff – creating!

Here are the classes I am teaching:
