Yesterday I had a fabulous experience at The Paper Boutique in Springfield, IL. I was so looking forward to spending the day with Anna Dubrowska, aka Finnabair, from Prima, and she did not disappoint!!!!! Such a delightful young woman! And sooooo very talented!!!!!! Thank you to Corrine, store owner, for bringing Finn here!
We started with a blank canvas and a boat load of embellishments. We brought a photo. I chose the one taken of me at my 65th birthday celebration in Napa, CA. I have quite a collection of old photos of my ancestors and toyed with the idea of using one of those. Then I thought, one day I'll be one of those ancestors in an old photo so I decided to stick myself on a canvas.
From this.....
To this....
Finn is an excellent instructor and offers a well paced class with a demonstration and easy to understand tutorial for each component of the project. I learned soooo much!!!!! It was wonderful to work in such a stress-free, comfortable environment!
And, of course, we ended the day with a group photo (provided by The Paper Boutique).
