I just got back from Scrapfest at the Mall of America. Our first day was great! I caught up with Linda, Jenn and Anita! It sure was fun seeing them again! We also met Trinh and Robin this year! Most of us had different class schedules today, so we had to split up for awhile, but I do have some photos to share.
These first three are so dark. . .my camera flash was not working. . .sorry! This is the Hero Arts Make and Take booth. They're sharing one this year with Basic Grey! Yup, that's Shari Carroll!
Here she is again.
Jennifer McGuire is there too!
This is Robin and her friend Denise, working hard at the Hero booth.
And here is Robin, me, Trinh and Anita! I'm so happy to be spending time with my Flickr buddies!
This is the card we made with Shari and Jennifer. It uses the new clear stamp set from Basic Grey and Hero Arts called, Butterflies and Wildflowers.
We decided we needed to get a bit goofy, so here we are having fun. This is Robin and Trinh!
And here I am with Anita!
After our little photo fun, I had to rush off to Tim Holtz's class called, The Artful Journey. I'm working hard on making my album.
Tim is a great teacher, so funny and so very creative! The class was an hour and a half long and here is the finished album.
A closer view to see the gorgeous shimmer from the Heirloom Gold, Perfect Pearl Mist!
And here's a look at all the pages inside.
Me and Tim. :)
So that was my first day. I walked around a lot with Trinh and Linda, doing 4 other Make and Takes. The lines were long but worth it. I won't bore you with the things we made. I now realize I didn't get any photos of Linda or Jenn today. I promise to do that tomorrow! We'll be seeing a couple more friends too. Anne and Britta will be there. All eight of us are in the same two Hero Arts classes and we'll be having dinner with Shari and Jennifer in the evening, so I'll be posting those photos in the next couple of days!
Thanks for sticking with me through this long post! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! :)

SO good of you to share these photos, Barb...you must be tired after all the fun time at Scrapfest! I can just FEEL the excitement and friendship that you have with our fellow Flickr friends! Your card and album look FABULOUS. Last but not the least, that photo of you and Tim is VERY special. You should have it displayed in your craft room. I don't think your DH would mind ;)
