Hello lovely friends! Last November, I gave two classes in the Scrapper's Place Event at Hotel Marriot in Aguadilla, PR...and I was so busy with my move and all that it involves that didn't show you photos of the event.  Both classes were with Maja Design collections, Prima flowers, cherubs,mask and more.... I began with a full house Saturday but I didn't take photo of the entire group, well first day means a little of stress, I was giving class to one hundred girls at the same time so I took pair of photos to some girls working in their layouts. Next day, Sunday, Rebeca, the owner of Scrapper Place took some photos and I'm sharing with you today.  Thanks to all the wonderful ladies that attended my classes, it was an awesome experience. Saturday SUNDAY ... me with the Sunday's group that didn't talk...only work and work, they finished both layouts!! Thanks for your visit!!! Have a great day...

Today I share with you this spring page I made about my DD Paola using one of my favorite collection...Vintage Spring Basics by Maja Design .  My inspiration was a full pleated skit that I made a time ago and I created the same effect with the Maja Design papers.
