Creative Festival Xmas Card Class - VERY DISAPPOINTING

As promised I am posting pictures from the Christmas Card Class that I took this weekend at the Creative Festival. I have to state how VERY DISAPPOINTED I am in this class and the instructor. I will be making a phone call to Creative Festival on Monday when they are back in the office.

So firstly the instructor is a Stampin' Up Demo which is sooooooo disgusting. She is giving Stampin' Up such a bad name. All she kept saying was she was getting out of SU and selling everything she has in her booth and at the end of this class, which I found very inappropriate. She was even selling items and receiving money for them in class! So she had a helper who was totally clueless and they were very diorganized. Nothing was set up when we got in the class. Now I am comparing this expereince to CK Convention in Buffalo that was very professional and organized, this does not compare.

So we made 3 cards for $25.00............CRAZY...............and the class was 1.5 hours but you could have done this in 15 mins if they were organized, we left after one hour and we sat and waited for soooo long for them to get their act together.

So the first card, the blue and green, which I personally do not like that colour combo. When we were waiting for the stamp the helper told us to go ahead and start gluing the cardstocks together well some people did and originally this card is suppose to have a ugly white ribbon going down the left side and its suppose to be behind the CS so the people that listened to his helper had to redo theirs. So I opted out of that ugly white ribbon which was so thick it would cover that first big tree on the left. So when I got home I added green SU glitter to the trees (she didn't do that to her card, her card was very dull) and I added dazzling diamonds underneath the trees to look like snow and then I added the little knot ribbon to the left. I think it came out okay once I made all my changes.

The second card there is not bad. I was disappointed that she has embossed her pinecone in the sample card and all she had for us was glitter. YOU DO NOT SAMPLE A CARD AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! And her ribbon was off to the side so I added it to the actual end of the pinecone stem, I think that looks nicer. I would have liked to emboss my pinecone also!

The last card is soooooo UGLY that I tried to redo it but I can't. I dn't have any other words for that card. I really did not want to post it because its so ugly but I wanted to show you all what this class was like.....it was terrible!

Also she had no glue dots for the ribbon (the red card), she didn't have enough envelopes for all the cards, the CS were not cut even or to size. It was just a huge mess!

So I was not happy with the class at all. But I did go with a friend and we did get some good laughs out of it. After this terrible class we proceded to the show and my fave vendor was there, Stamping Bella, got some stamps ofcourse. There were a few vendors where we stood and watched them demo for awhile. We learned some good techniques, more so then that class. OH another reason why I am so mad at that class.......the description specifically said we would learn new techniques but we learned NADA!

Anyways, it was a nice day overall. My friend and I went for a late, late lunch and then stopped at Scrapolicious on the way home.......yup we couldn't resist a little bit more scrapbook shopping......LOL
