Gina K. class at The Paper Forest

Hi there! Today I have something a little different than usual, but my local paper crafting store is hosting a couple of super fun classes this weekend, taught by the one and only, Gina K.! How exciting is that? I thought I’d just post it here for any locals that might be interested.
So the shop is called The Paper Forest and they are hosting Gina K. this weekend. Gina is going to  be making some Holiday Tags, a gift card holder and some last minute cards that sparkle.

About the class: The class is $60, 20 open seats for each of the sessions, classes are almost full! We may be able to add a few more. It will be the same class each session and all participants get an exclusive Gina K stamp set!

Friday, December 7th Classes:
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Saturday, December 8th Classes:
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
2:30 pm to 4:30 pm

The Paper Forest, Inc.
12 Washington Plaza
Washington, IL 61571
(309) 745-3440

I know this is last minute and many of you are not local, but I thought I’d just give a shoutout because local stamp shops & Gina K. deserves it, right? I’m hoping I can stop by to see everyone who makes it out. Maybe one day I’ll muster up the courage to teach a class, too😀

For those of you who can’t make it, how about a giveaway?
I have a fun Gina K. set to giveaway to one lucky winner!
Leave me a comment telling me where you are from…not specifically, but what state, province, country…I’d love to know!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Hi Laura,
    I’d love to join one of of classes, but as I’m based in central Germany, that would be a bit too far to travel… 😊
    Happy Christmas time everyone, and I looooove your blog and especially your Youtube videos!
    Kind regards, Britta

    I live in Ellicott City, MD, which is close to Baltimore. I used to live in IL! I went to grad school and lived in Champaign for 7 years. In fact, it was when I was in IL that I started scrapbooking “for real!”

    I live in Illinois not far from Washington but unfortunately I have two other fun things to do on Saturday. I would have loved to take GinaK’s class. I definitely think you should teach a class…in Champaign, IL.

    I love that you are supporting your local paper store. I now live outside of Walla Walla, WA after moving from Tacoma, WA were I had many small local owned stores to stop at for paper, stamps, etc. Miss that very much. Just recently a Hobby Lobby opened in Walla Walla which is great. Before that happened I had to drive 50 miles to Michaels & Hobby Lobby shopping (which needless to say wasn’t very often).

    Looks like a fun class but I am from Ohio. I was able to take a class from Jenn Shurkus last week though, was a great time and learned a lot. I love watching your videos, you would be great as a teacher!

    If only. . . . (sigh). When you get ready to host yours, come to California to do it and enjoy our beautiful weather here on the central coast. Where we are we only have Spring and Fall. No nasty winters or hot summers. Come see us!

    So jealous! I live in Georgia, about an hour north of Atlanta. We have a tiny LSS 30 mins from me. The only other LSS is more than an hour from me. I miss the days when Archivers was a fairly short drive from me!
