Miss me???? I know some people did because I have the emails to prove it {lol}. Well I have been back from Brisbane for a few days but I was straight back into classes, Which was not a great idea because I am still a little frazzled from all the excitement of the past week… I had such a wonderful time at the expo and I really enjoyed all my classes and everyone was just so lovely and friendly. I was able to catch up with old friends and make new ones, I don’t want to name drop but one of my new friends is the amazing and talented Zoe Pearn, Zoe is a Paper designer for My Minds Eye Which is one of my fave paper company’s. Her papers are wonderful and I love her Scrapbook style, She is an Aussie designing for an American based company, She designs from her Studio in Brisbane but I thought she was American, So when she started talking I was a little surprised to hear the Australian accent. I am pretty sure this is not the last time I will speak of Zoe {wink}
I want to thank the girls at Scrapapple Angela, Louisa and Stacey for having me teach for them, A huge thankyou to the my classroom assistants essentially Janelle and I really need to thank my Mum who saved the day several times over the week including when we got a flat tyre on my car in the middle of Brisbane and she quite bravely went into a worksite and asked some lovely guys to come and help, While I stood at my car saying No, Mum I can do it myself…. Then the guys come over and I could not even workout where my spare tyre was, Which just incase anyone else drives a PT Cruiser, our spare tyre is under the car {lol}.
I do have a little more exciting news to share about the expo but I can’t spill the beans yet…. As soon as I can I will let you know.
I do have a card to show you after all my chit chat, This is one of the cards that we did in my class this week after I got home. It is just a cute card from the front how you can see the little girl through the Window.
The magic happens when you open it….
Surprise…. A secret message slides over.

This is so cute Teneale! 🙂 Reminds me of being a little girl & Strawberry Shortcake for some reason – LOL! So glad you got home safely! xx
{And you NEED to teach me how to stamp! Or at least colour them like you do!! I might even take a trip down to Sydney to do one of your classes… I had DH in here the other night looking at your cards and even HE thought they were awesome!! That is something, I tell you – LOL! 😉 }
Yay!! A new post!! And a beautiful one too, of course!! So glad to hear things went well and you had a lovely time in Beautiful Qld!! (Can you tell I’m a Qld’er??)
I love this card and love the peek-a-boo windows…..but how did you do it??? I had it worked out until the slide-a-long sentiment confused me. Beautiful colour combination. Will need to add this to my play and make list in the near future too!!
Can’t wait to hear your news…..sounds terribly thrilling!!
Take care, Michey xxx

Hi Tenealle. Your class in Brisvegas was amazing, just like this card. I really love it! Love that set.
What a lovely card! Very clever.
Teneale ….YOU ROCK!! Brisbane loved you (as we all do!) and they are desperate to have you back again. Thanks for teaching such fantastic classes, everybody had a ball.
This card is amazing, as always, and Zoe is right, it does remind you of being a little kid. (sigh…. if only we could go back)

I just love your cards and was wondering if your going to do a tutorial on how to make the secret message card. Thanks for sharing.
What a gorgeous card! Is there any chance of a tutorial on it! Would love to be closer to attend your classes but I’m in Melbourne and Sydney is a bit of a hike. Beautiful work.
