I am planning a Chantilly one day workshop and open crop in May! I have tentatively booked May 11th at the Southern Alberta Baptist Seminary in Cochrane. Before I confirm the venue, I want to get an idea of the interest for this workshop. We would be doing the Chantilly card workshop and the 2 page layout (love the colors - perfect for Spring photos!) and any extra time would be open crop. During the open crop, I will be teaching how to use Studio J. There would also be an opportunity to shop! Please let me know if you are interested. Have a wonderful evening! Nancy K.
