Thank you Scrappin Patch

 

What a wonderful day in Ch/Ch! They put on the most beautiful weather. No quakes! And a group of women who inspired me no end. I spent the day hanging out, chatting, drinking tea, oh and of course, teaching. Apart from family, I'd call it my 'perfect' day.

The class I taught was a very typical 'Trina' class. Lots of Prima, lots of layers, lots of inking and distressing, and a little bit of stitching (if you're coming to SENZ you'll get a chance to take part!).

To make the stitching easier, I made these little sewing purses as part of the class kit.

I adore the die cut. It's one my SIL Maggie got for me from Stampin Up. So easy to create!

And of course because no crop is complete without the obligatory 'junk food', I created this little box and filled it with home made fudge..... Ahhhh divine.

Again, the box is a die cut from Stampin Up and then I used a Prima Mask (over Kraft cardstock) to create the pattern on the box, then used my new slice (yippee!!!) to cut out some swirls and a word, before using my cuttlebug for the final flowers, and of course another Prima flower! The ribbon is more seam binding. Gosh I love that stuff.

And because I can, here are some more photos of the day...

The shop was lovely. So much eye candy to look at! And nice and spacious! Perfect for holding a crop!

Francine picked me up from the airport and Jody took me back to it. Was so lovely having time chatting away like we were old friends. Thanks to both of you for helping out!

And the day meant I got to meet up with old friends and make some new ones!

Thanks so much for having me. I look forward to next time!

was a great day thanks Trina, and the little extras were fabulous, what a lot of time you put into getting that fab layout ready for us to make. THANKYOU!

[Tania Paul]

I too, thought it was a great day. I noticed that you talked to every single class member numerous times which goes a long way when it comes to building rapport. I too loved the seam binding (much thinner than normal ribbon) and would also love to know where you get it??? The pre threaded needles were such a great touch. My page looks creat - just like a bought one!

[Francine]

thanks again Trina- it was an awesome day and you were absolutely wonderful! Hope you can make it down to see us again soon!

[Pauline Parker]

Thank you for such a lovely lesson and for all the special treats you included for each of us. I especially liked that you took the time to talk with each of us and to make us feel special...That threaded needle was the icing on the cake!!!It was a great day
