ONI attended a Crop and Create event in Markham, ON recently that was hosted by Scrapbook & Cards magazine and it proved to be very rewarding. Spellbinders Educational Manager "Kim" presented 3 classes, one on Friday evening, one Saturday morning and the 3rd on Sunday morning. What a thrill for me to meet Kim in person and enjoy the warmth of her personality. If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with her you will not be disappointed.<br />
<br />
My Mind's Eye gave each scrapbook class member a beautiful package that more than fulfilled our needs and Spellbinders allowed each one of us to take home 2 full sets of their dies (standard circles large and classic hearts). Everything was there for us to use including their newest Spellbinders machine the Artisan X-plorer. We also had the opportunity to play with a new Feather die "Feathers On the Wind" a delightful die set of various shapes and sizes of feathers. You will soon see them on their home page for purchase. As a token of our time together, Kim permitted each one of us to choose a feather you can see mine in the photo below. Thank you Kim I will treasure mine.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of our completed 2 page layout as well as the Mind's Eye goodies supplied and the icing on the cupcake - "a photo with Kim" to add my memories of the class.<br />

She wanted them for thank you cards but after seeing the beautiful cards from pins on Pinterest she could not make up her mind on just one card, so I gave her this variety.<br />

second, the 'border stamp' is from CTMH winter snowflake stamp set and the 'scripture blessing' is from Our Daily Bread Design and is used to form a bookmark. The colours on the inking is more of a valentine red not as neon looking as in this photo. I made two slits the width of the bookmark in the card base on the top and bottom of the border to insert the bookmark.<br />

I think this little lady will enjoy giving her friends these cards as a reminder of her appreciation <br />
for their caring as much as I enjoyed doing them for her. </td></tr>
