![]() ![]() This was just the beginning of being spoiled throughout the weekend. At the end of this class Shari and Jennifer treated us to a large pack of goodies gifted to us from Hero Arts. I loved the techniques we learned in this class! I definitely can see myself recreating them for future blog posts and classes. The first class was “Stenciling Fun” with Jennifer McGuire and Shari Carroll. There were a bunch working in the on-site store as well. Throughout the weekend during class if we wanted any of the products that we were using in class we just had to raise out paddle, and someone would come and take our order- then the products were waiting for us after class- PERFECT! There were a ton of Simon Says Stamp employees around to help throughout the classes. There were around 100 people who attended the event. After securing our #’s we then decided to shower, and have breakfast before the first classes started at 9:30a. We got a goodie bag filled with all kinds of goodies. ![]() Right away we realized we were going to be spoiled over the weekend. We were pretty much in the middle of the group- our numbers ended up being in the early 40’s. Cheiron, Dawn and I rolled out of bed Friday morning and stood in line to check in. Everyone took the same classes at the same time so once we had our seat it was ours for the weekend. ![]() Having created a bunch of seating charts for 250+ people I felt this was a great way for them to fairly let us have a seat and be able to sit with friends. It was a beautiful weekend, which was hard for me to be away from the beach- but at least I was able to sit outside at the pub a few times □Įveryone had to register at 7a on Friday, and the order you registered/checked in was the order you were let into the classroom to pick your seat. The venue they had the event was beautiful. We got there on Thursday and just relaxed for the afternoon and evening. Remember my crazy friend Dawn, who surprised me and attended my Loft Art Retreat? Well her and her husband drove down from Wisconsin to attend the event- so the 3 of us got to hang out again □ Cheiron and I planned our flights to get in just about the same time. The event was in Ohio, near where the Simon Says Stamp warehouse is. In return I use what I have learned when planning and teaching my classes, putting my own spin and style on it. Holtz himself and I have always tried to soak up all the knowledge I can from them. ![]() As soon as I saw that Tim Holtz, Shari Carroll, Jennifer McGuire and Kelly Marie Alvarez were teaching I knew I HAD to be there.ĭid you know my VERY FIRST card making classes I ever took were with Shari and Jennifer? They were at a retail event I was attending for Colorful Creations 10 years ago! I have been very lucky over the years to take many classes with Shari, Jennifer and even Mr. This was just the kind of event I needed. Get comfy, because I want to tell you all about a wicked fun event I recently attended!Ī little over a month ago my friend Cheiron encouraged me to sign up for the Simon Says Stamp CREATE Event, and I am SO happy she did! As a papercrafting teacher, I rarely get to attend an event where I don’t have a part in teaching or even planning. (to see the winner of the ‘Monogram It’ Sweet Stamp Shop Stamp Set go here) ![]()
