I thought I'd start a separate thread for class reviews in case there were people attending CKCs later this year that might find them helpful. Hopefully some of the other attendees can chime in with their classes.
Classes:Basically I loved all my classes except one, so I dont have a ton to say beyond showing the pictures. I would highly recommend all of them except the card one.
Disney, Disney and more Disney! - Lickety Split
Great class! We completed 3 double page layouts. Everything was pre-cut for us, so it was just a matter of assembling them, and all the sets are adorable!!
For this last one, she didn't have us cut down the white paper to use as mats until we got home and decided what pictures we'd use, but here's the instruction sheet to see one way of adding the white mats. (The "A Day at Disney" is a rubon I'll add once the pictures are down.)
Sunshine of my Life Quick QuotesI love the Quick Quotes classes. The instructor is really great and I just really like their style. This was a 2 page layout.
This Girl - Quick Quotes
In class we did a 12x12 canvas layout, and you also received enough paper and embellishments for 3 more pages.
Set for a Year: Creative Cardmaking Helix USA
The one class that was kind of a dud. We made 6 cards in class, with enough materials to make 6 more at home, but because I didnt put any of the sentiments on them yet, Ill just show you a photo of the instruction sheet. We got to use this large embossing/scoring device (cant remember what it was called) which wasnt all that easy to use. Definitely wouldnt recommend this one.
Making Magical Memories Queen and Company
2 page layout gorgeous! After this class I hit their booth, where everything was a dollar, and stocked up on more felt, brads and rhinestones. Great deal!
Here are their examples so you can see how the photos and journalling would fit in.
All the leftover goodies we still had after the layouts were complete:
Boy or Girl Chipboard Wall Hanging Keller Creations
You could choose whether you wanted to do the boy version or the girl version I did the girl. So cute!!
Sketchabilities Keller Creations
We did 4 double page layouts in this class, based on sketches using the companys pre-cut pieces like rings, circles, scallops, etc. Very cute pages/sketches, and I also hit their booth to pick up some more pieces to make more layouts like this.
Vendor faire:
I think overall this was very similar to years past no better or worse. I still spent way too much money of course. Like last year, a lot of booths selling page kits or pre-made pages, lots of laser cut pages, titles, die cuts, etc. I did think there were more deals to be had this year than in years past. There was the dollar booth as always, but also several other booths had whole sections of dollar stuff. Almost anything you were looking for, you could find somewhere in the hall.
I shouldn't admit to this - but here's a shot of all my "loot."
