What a way to start the year out right with an outstanding adventure with the over the top designers than to be at Prima’s Art Venture in Anaheim. It was my very first “instructional class” ever attended and i could not have asked for anything better. It was truly an extraordinary adventure in scrapbooking and mixed media art. On the billboard of instructors were Alberto Juarez, Frank Garcia, Julie Nutting, Anna Babrowska (Finnabair), Jaimie Dougherty and Trina McClune. Each class was about 3 hours long for 2 solid packed days. When they said we would be receiving “goodie” bags nothing could prepare us for what we received!!! To many to mention and most were products that will be released at the CHA conference and will not hit stores for several weeks. So we were very excited to get first dibs. I have lots of pictures of the fun I had and the friends I made. I hope you enjoy, I know you can’t wait to get your hands on these, and I can’t wait to go next year!!!
