I got to kick off the year by meeting all of my fellow Michaels Makers from all over at the Michaels Makers Summit last week!  We enjoyed three lovely days in Sonoma! Everything was spectacular and no detail overlooked!

We took four amazing classes all taught by Michaels education partner, Creativebug!

Watercolor was one of my favorites! It was shocking to see how easy it was. With just the right supplies……..

I was amazed at all the different techniques to transfer images. I had no idea you can transfer magazine images with clear packing tape and that a blender pen will transfer a photocopy to wood. So cool!

Great News!

Each of the classes are available online for FREE on Michaels.com until 8/22 (you can re-create one or all of our summit projects)!
