CKC-St. Louis 2nd Day

I am sorry I haven't been back on to post about the CKC Convention, but WOW have I had a busyyyyyyyy week.

As you probably have already read on Paula's blog, I have to get up on a regular basis by 4am. So by 4:30 I had been up showered, and ready to go. I was trying to be very quiet, but guess I awoke sleeping beauty. So I started working on Thurs. nights Chatterbox book until time to start our mad-dome of none stop classes. We didn't even realize that we hadn't even scheduled a lunch in all the excitement of registering.

My first class starting at 8:30, I was raring to go ( I had been up for almost 5 hours, not like my cohort.) My first class was from SEI - 4Velvet Paper Techniques.

In this class we were taught different ribbon techniques.

• Ribbon Lattice
• Ribbon wrapped dimensional sticker
• Sizzix die-cut ribbon
• Quad-tied ribbons
• Ribbon-tied rings

  Pages were embellished with mini glitter coaster tags, puff stickers and rhinestone brads.
  

Ribbon tied on a tagRibbon Flower - Twist 3 3inch pieces of ribbon, insert in the center of a brad to the bottom of brad. Insert brad through a chipboard coaster adhere to page. 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.

Ribbon Lattice - how cute it is...just insert picture or tag and you are ready to go. You adhere ribbon only on the ends to edge of pageRibbon photo corners. Take 2 1/2 inch ribbon, wrap around photo mat, adhere only on back of mat.

Ribbon laced, brad-studded frame - How cute is that..... punch 4 holes in side of frame. Lace ribbon 12 inches long through the holes and tie off. Top off with brads in the holes.Sizzix die-cut ribbon - purple "ric-rac". Also Quad-tied ribbons through the hole of the letter in this book.

I will post more on the 2ND day soon. Have a great weekend.

CKC St, Louis

Day One - of our first CKC Adventure

We arrived at the convention, as Grandma would say, "Rip, Roaring, and ready to go!"

So off to get our tickets we went. After checking them out and making sure our class schedule was correct. Off to find our classes we go.

After finding where our class WAS suppose to be. Paula and I looked around at the few vendors that were setting up, and were waiting for time for class. We had arrived early, so had plenty time to kill. I found a wonderful deal, so Paula and I purchased the cool white tote we both are carrying that had 4 kits in it. So I set and started putting together one of the kits .

Then the time came to go to class, we start down the hall to be greeted by to PALLETS of boxes about 6 feet high. We are like "What the $%#@?" So we waited and watched, and then finally opened the door to find out that the classroom had been changed. So off to find the new room. By this time we figured everyone would be there and no good seats would be left. And to our amaze, there was NO ONE in the room at all.

Finally, who we thought was our teacher shows up. So Paula and I start helping her set the supplies out, and during conversation, we discover SHE is now in the wrong room Its 10 mins before our class is suppose to start, we have the WRONG instructor, supplies, and wondering what is going on.

Finally our instructor shows up THREE mins before our class was suppose to start. Comes in not frazzled, like nothing is going on. AND in her PJ's, well it looked like PJ's. It was actually relaxing scrapbook clothes they were offering at their booth. The class was really laid back and we had a great time.


Almost completed project.

So that was our first day at CKC, there will be more post to come.

Love,
