The Final Episode Of CKC St. Louis

(Day 2 Continued)

"Scrap In The Box"

Was taught by Jolene Graning from "The Paper Element."

The Paper Element is from Bloomington, Illinois

I enjoyed the class. We painted a box frame and added "Paper Element" Papers. We Added Rub-Ons, an Envelop, ribbons and flowers. I am not happy with the way the project turned out though. I will be repainting and using different papers to cover it.

I also won a door prize in this class and LOVE the wonderful papers and rub-ons that I received.

Cool papers, die-cuts, and rub-ons.

Reverse side of papers.

Spring Photo Wreath

Paula and I took this class together. This class was sponsored by Fiskars and they let us use some COOL tools to make our wreaths...

This cool Fiskar's Fingertip knife, is a MUST have.

We were also introduced to a new squeeze heart punch:

The squeeze heart punch was so easy to use. We had to cut 18 hearts to put around the edge of our wreathe, in a matter of seconds. I also received a set to bring home with me...I LOVE it!!!

Canvas A La Carte

This was the last class that Paula and I took together on Saturday.

The class was very involved, Paula and I had to finish the project in the Shop and Crop time after class on Saturday.
My projects are now picture ready. When I get the pictures on them I will post the finished projects. Again I will say that CKC Conventions are well worth the money and time spent. We both had a great time.

I must show you what I had waiting on the kitchen table when I returned home.

CKC-St. Louis (Part 2)

Class #3 "Think Big Canvas Class"

This class was a "Quick Quote" and Canvas class

We used Quick Quotes, Powder Puff Chalk Inks, Canvas, Ribbons, and several die-cut tags and Canvas embellishments. We were taught how to distress canvas and the tags. The accordion style project holds 23 tags, 6 canvas pieces. Two canvas boards on each end, a canvas button on center of the canvas flower, canvas heart, a canvas tag, and a canvas photo anchor. Under the photo anchor is a folded love heart. I will put pictures in the heart later.

Instructor from Quick Quotes -Michelle

Class #4 - "Always & Forever"

This class was a mini acrylic album class using Prima Papers.

I fell in love with their old, shabby chic looking paper, some of the paper reminded me of Grandma's house, and some of the houses that I lived in as a young girl. The techniques we used in this class included inking, sanding, working with transparencies and adding dimension and depth with flowers and chipboard embellishments.

Paula and I fell in love with two new tools that we were introduced too. We discovered 2 amazing new tools for scrapbooking: Souffle pens and Stickles. Souffle pens by Sakura write dimensionally, and Stickles
a wonderful glitter glue that adds glitter to your project.

We used the Souffle pens to add the "dotted" outline on the acrylic page. Stickles added the glitter to the "Love" on our page.

We also made these lovely paper flowers. The album consisted of 2 acrylic pages and 3 chipboard pages.

We used the beautiful Prima papers to cover the chipboard album pages and the above paper flowers.

Another beautiful Prima paper covered chipboard page. This page also has the Stickles on it..

I will post my last post tomorrow on "Our First Adventure to CKC - St. Louis. The convention is an experience that every scrapbooker, and altered art lover needs to experience at least once. I know I am hooked and will probably go again.

Sweet dreams,

Love,

Deb

Separate ribbons and it makes a Flower.Ribbon tied around a puff flower..why in the world I had never tried this I do not know..its is so simple, just twist ribbon around and under the flower. It is SOOOOOO cute.
