WOW!!!

Spent the past three days at Ranger U...what an amazing experience. Three days of creating, meeting new friends and old, and playing with nearly every product Ranger owns! All I can say is WOW!! I have met people that I know will be friends for life! I have played with products that I have fallen in love with it...and I can't wait to start sharing it with you! On my flight home today, I am going to start outlining some new classes incorporating the techniques and products form this weekend. Here are a few photo's from this amazing weekend.

Here are the over 75 techniques we learned during the weekend



Tim and Claudine...the amazing teachers!


The incredible group of fun and talented artists!


This is a gift I made for Tim...a smaller companion piece for the larger vintage-style suitcase I made for his booth at CHA back in January. It is made from a couple of the insert components from his new Configurations tray and a modified version of my Sunburst Album.





As amazing as this experience has been, I am looking forward to heading home to the wonderful hubby and my kids!!

    Sooo great to hear, that you´ve had such a wonderful time LAura, and I for one is definately looking forward to hear a lot more about all these technicques too, when you´ve just had a little time to get down to earth again after this trip and get settled in with your family, who´s definately been missing you too. But THEN I would also just looooooooove to hear all about these days and see absolutely everything you´ve made and done there he he he.
    But first have a couple of great days with your family and relax relax and just relax hun. We´ll be waiting for you hright here ha ha ha.

    My friend Yvonne Blair was at this Ranger U also - she is wonderful and I hope you had a chance to meet her. Two of my best scrapping friends together with tons of new ideas - you will probably get a bunch all blurred together and only GOOD new ideas will come of it. Glad you are home safe. Mary Werner

    Laura, so happy you got to have this opportunity! I can hardly wait to see what you will teach us. Too bad I'm out of town this weekend and will miss Friday night and Saturday morning. But at least I will be at a sb convention buying things, especially Ranger/Timmy things to use when I get home. lol Cool suitcase you made for Tim! Hope you've had a safe flight home, and enjoy some time with your family!

    Do you think you'll be teaching(or could teach) a couple classes at Scrapbook Nook that focuses only on the different techniques you learned? I want to dive in and buy a bunch of Tim Holtz' inks, sprays, paints, etc but have no clue what to do with them. Thanks! BTW, Happy Mother's Day!
