It was early June-ish when Sue and I took Donna's Swatches class, and it made me wish I was registered for the entire weekend of classes! The techniques we learned were completely new to us, and I really see them changing the way I use products and supplies when I create.
Along with having a fantastic sense of humour and - of course - an amazing degree of creative talent, Donna has a wonderful teaching style. I loved her interspersed product tips, anecdotes and advise. Sue also posted on her blog about this class and included lots of photos, so take a look here.
In this photo, Donna holds one of her finished Swatches as she discusses technique with us. Donna also taught a number of other classes while she was here, including an apron and inspiration journal. I would have loved to attended all of her classes. Looking through her personal inspiration journal was an amazing experience. If you have an opportunity to take a class from Donna, jump at it! You will thoroughly enjoy it and you'll learn a ton.
After class, we had a chance to chat with some awesome gals I met at Scrapfest, Karen and Dorrie. Then Jennifer met us for a yummy lunch at Red Lobster. It was great to see everyone.
I'm not finished framing my canvases yet but once I have, I will post them here. Donna has now discontinued this class, so we were very lucky to be the final students to have a chance to take it. I've now developed a love for gesso, pastels and molding paste! I can't wait to play with them some more.

Donna's swatch class looks like so much fun. I love your pieces (or what I saw of them on our scrapbooking day). :)
