Weekend memories at Paper Niche

Good morning! I am back at home and wearing about three layers of clothing....it's cold! As promised, I wanted to share with you my fabulous weekend at Paper Niche. First of all, I want to thank Tammy for being the perfect hostess and I am not exaggerating, she always takes care of every detail and makes me feel very loved and special. We are standing next to our favorite corner in the store.

Many of my students throughout the weekend are artists themselves so I was challenged left and right. I want you to meet them:

This is Luci, an amazing teacher, designer, friend, and she is also a police officer!!! The first time I met her she was wearing her uniform and was walking trough the aisles... I thought there was a problem of some sort! It turned out she was shopping for her next class!!!She loves flowers and ATC's. You can visit her blog HERE.

This is Karla and she is from Venezuela too! We've been friends through blogging and we finally met in person. She made this gorgeous card for me, thank you Karla! Her work is fabulous and you can see it HERE.

This is my sweet friend Cassia who is an amazing designer of  interactive pages and her nickname is scrapbooking bug. Her work is very unique and she even has them on video! You can visit her HERE.

 

This is my precious friend Elena. Let me tell you about this lady.... she is a criminal lawyer by trade but when she discovered scrapbooking about 5 years ago, her world was turned upside down! Not only it has given her "sanity" (in her own words) but has also led her to another level of sensitivity for women through the gift of paper. She is an artist at heart! You can visit her HERE

This is Michelle and you can see her designer's eye when you look at the page she made. She is an interior designer by trade and a scrapbooker at heart.

This is sweet and talented Mindy. Again, we knew each other through blogging and on Saturday evening we met in person and were able to spend some time together. You can visit her HERE.

She made me this gorgeous card, I love it! Thank you Mindy!

This is the one and only, fun and creative, Maevan... and talk about being on fire for crafts! This lady plays with everything she can get in her hands and turns it into something amazing! She made this canvas album  for Jessica. You can visit Maevan's blog  HERE

This is Jessica, the queen of modeling paste! She is making this album for her son who loves planes. This album is gorgeous!!!!!

This is Karen and as I write her name I get a HUGE smile in my heart! You see, when you hang out with her all you do is laugh and be inspired. Let me show you what she made during our crop on Saturday night:

Yes, it is a stickle holder!!!! She made it from scratch and she also bought tiny glass bottles and filled them with stickles to make the base pretty!!!! Isn't it fabulous? She held them with Velcro.

 
This is my dear friend Marta who loves vintage and altered items. She also makes vintage jewelry.  Her work is fabulous! You can visit her  HERE.

And there were many more wonderful ladies and memories throughout the weekend.

Thank you Paper Niche and friends for an amazing and unforgettable weekend! I'll see you in March!
