...well, if you really like her stamps, that's the way you feel...I'm just sayin'.
What I really mean, is, I was fortunate enough to be able to take one of her classes this past Saturday with some fellow
Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo! group members (and also friends, but I need to put the plug in for the group, you know..). The class was at
The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline, Illinois.
The class wasn't project based this time, but technique based using the line of Ranger inks.. distress, pigment, and alcohol. A great review of the uses for the different inks, plus a nifty little ring of tags with each technique, to refer to. So, I took a few shots, yep, actually remembered to: 1) take the camera and... 2) use it.

What a fun day! Totally loved meeting the other gals and gettin' all inky!
And last, but not least, my piece for the challenge on the
EWV group this week, which was to do some stamping on patterned paper AND use a bookplate with a saying. Here we go, a card for a family member's upcoming birthday....
Thanks for stopping by, and as always, I appreciate your comments! Go Be Creative!
21 watcha thinkin'?:
That is a fabulous card card Lori and love the button backing paper. Can see why you love Wendy's products her demo pieces are gorgeous. Glad you had a great day. Annette x
now where did card card come from....lol
Already loved your card on the group page, Lori, so now I'll just say.... In my book you get mega points for (a) remembering to pack camera (b) bringing it (c) using it (d) uploading to blog. But I have to add that table full of Wendy stamps would be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry hard to resist!
Your button-filled card is wonderful! Excellent in every possible way!
Thanks for letting us "join" your Wendy Vecchi art party and KUDOS on remembering to take/use your camera ... you deserve an award just for that!
Looks like a good time was had by all! Great card too!
Such fun you all had! TFS
Wow, distress, pigment and alcohol..inks that is! I'll bet this was a fantastic class. Looks like you had a great time. Lucky you!!!
Yup, a great day...'ceptin' for the weather which made it a perfect day to stay in and make art! I am so in need of a haircut- ack!!!!
Ooo, gorgeous card! Where is Illionois? May I come next time??
Please? It looks like so much fun!
Fantastic photos - would have loved to have been there.... That newspaper is gorgeous, really hope it didn't end in the bin....
Your card is just wonderful. Hope the family member loves it too and has a great birthday!
First of all, the card is absolutely gorgeous, and so full of beautiful detail. I know whoever gets it will love it and want to frame it.
Secondly, the class looks awesome and I do wish I was there.
Lastly, thanks so much for the message on the raggy paper towel. Just my style, but you knew that!

Wow those decorated tags look fabulous o does that inked newspaper, definitely worth recycling. Tha store is massive, all those yummy goodies, wish I was there. Love your piece of art too, gorgeous. Tracy x
Great card Lori, love it! You are so lucky to be able to attend Wendy's classes, green with envy here!!
Super, super card Lori! I love that button paper...had to enlarge the photo to see if you had stuck buttons all over - would have loved that too. Just a totally wonderful piece of work!
Hugs,
Linda
Looked like you had fun in the class - lucky you! And I adore your card, it's fabulous!
Your card was awesome. Thanks for sharing the pictures. That was a great class and an awesome store. Another rainy day to make art in good old Illinois.
LOVE the card!
And your day with everyone in a great store (looks like a truly fun place!) - wonderful!!
Your family card is just beautiful Lori! I had fun through you at the ART class you took...it must have been tons of fun to meet fellow ARTist like yourself that you share and swap with...great pictures you shared! Diann
Lori, that card is gorgeous!
Looks like a fun class. I thought about having run over to Moline, but my car has been having some problems. Still when I see the pictures of that store, I'm thinking I may need to!
First of all - LOVE that card! It is totally gorgeous. I'm so jealous that you got to take such a great class. I would much rather do techniques all day long than duplicate someone else's art. Thanks for sharing so many great pics. I'm totally inspired!
Love your card Lori. Looks like you had a fun time in class, it is good to get to meet online friends in real life:)
