We are coming to you LIVE from.... err... well - to be honest? My hotel room floor.  Yes, I admit that it is 2:58 (A.M.), I am just crawling in from a very late meeting with Creative Imaginations and my CHA roomies are fast asleep getting the MUCH needed beauty rest that "I" need! LOL!!

Today is day TWO of our stay in downtown Los Angeles. The show hasn't officially opened yet but we've had a fantastic day learning new techniques, testing new products and sharing in scrappy buddy company!

The show officially opens tomorrow morning but we spent our entire (E-N-T-I-R-E) day in classes learning lots of fantastic tips and tricks to share with YOU! While my partners in crime are fast asleep at this un-Godly hour, I shall post some photos of our day 1.





Here is Bonnie, Shelly and Rae at the CRACK-OF-FREAKIN'-DAWN at the Tattered Angels 101 class. I have to say that Tattered Angels really did an exceptional job putting this program together! Not only was the class well prepared, well instructed and extremely informative, but it was a LOT of fun!

Wendy Senger, creator of the now famed (and crazily imitated) Glimmer Mist, put on a fan-tastic class! Wendy is a very sweet, funny, knowledgeable woman who definitely knows her way around misting, glamming and glazing.  Here we sat... 5 well seasoned (or so we thought) scrapbookers, and we had MUCH to learn from the fabulous Miss Senger! We are happy to report that we all walked away with a much better understanding of Glimmer mist and the numerous ways in which to use it! Be watching our techniques and tutorials section for more on getting the most from your Glimmer Mists, Glams and Glazes~

Shona used Swirlydoos' gorgeous January kit, "Retro Tapestry", to complete this project. The beautiful color combo really sets the stage for a romantic yet nurturing photo. Her handmade flowers are stunning and her distressing is impeccable.
