Well, hello everybody! I’m writing this post Saturday morning and will schedule it to run tonight, I am still not 100% so this afternoon two of my team will be helping to run my technique class with me doing not much at all since I still have a very croaky voice and keep coughing – thankfully I think I am on the way up and out of this horrible cold – but I’m taking it easy today so I don’t set myself back. Luckily I have both a fab team and a fab group of customers, and generally they look after themselves once I set them in motion! However, I am used to being able to at least speak to them at class!!!

For those of you who know me, losing my voice is probably the worst thing – I talk … a lot!!! I communicate best in speech and pictures, so having to do no talking and not even having a whiteboard is gonna make today tough – but hopefully everyone will like all the kits that I was organised enough to prepare weeks ago because I had to display the items at Make It!

Today’s technique class focused on how to bring together the coordinated suite of products that Stampin’ Up! do so well and use them for either a card or album project.

So, I’m going to sign off now, but here is what we’re playing with today …

• Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper (DSP)
• Retro Fresh Designer Journaling Tags
• Gold Baker’s Twine
