One of my roles as the Spellbinders International Ambassador for Australia is to teach and educate through demonstrations and Workshops at Craft Stores - both local and interstate. This is a role I am proud of and love to do - firstly I get to use the most amazing products and secondly I get to meet and work with so many wonderful people...creative people are always so amazing and inspiring.
This weekend I visited Fantasia Scrapbooking and Stamps in Bella Vista, Sydney NSW. Such a lovely large store and a pleasure to be in. I have been visiting this particular store for a number of years. Some of the ladies come to every Workshop without knowing what I am teaching - others are first timers. The creativeness flows and each person adds their own 'flavour' to their projects - I love that - we can all be given the same products but it is not often we create 'works of the heart' that are the same.
I do like to get group photos and am always amazed at how many of the ladies disappear when the camera comes out - but these ladies were game - others - not so much! LOL!
I run two different Workshops one in the morning and another in the afternoon - with not a lot of time between, The morning Workshop had a Nostalgic Christmas theme - using some of the new Holiday Dies. The paper for these cards is from Kaisercraft.
The second Workshop was all about 'Shabby Chic' and we created 3 cards using a lot a big variety of Dies. I also use a variety of other products - Imagine Crafts ‘featuring’ Tsukineko; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L; Want2Scrap bling.
The lovely owner of Fantasia - Julie and myself.
