HALLOWEEN HYBRIDS the inside scoop on Spraguefest

september - october 2011

letter from carina This is our fifth issue of the newsletter, and it seems pretty amazing that a year has come and gone! I love looking back at past issues to see what we had a-hummin’ in the studio.

It’s still a-hummin’, and I’m happy that we are able to show you the results in this newsletter every quarter. If you love it too, please join our newsletter mailing list so you are one of the first to know about exciting events as they come out.

Like many of you, we’ve been rearing up for the holidays. I seem completely unable to slow down the wonderfulexciting-craziness that seems to occur during October,

page 1

November, and December.

I kicked off the month by heading to Spraguefest in Las Vegas to eat, teach, and laugh (oh and there was some fun!).

My good friend, the fabulous Jessica Sprague (photographed with me above) and the amazing Heidi Swapp taught too. It’s all I could do to remain calm in such company!

We have photographed, documented, and laughed our way through the Spraguefest trip and are here to report it!

Check it out our new feature Susan’s Inside Scoop on page 5. I’m sure you’ll enjoy!

October also means Halloween crafting, and I’ve got a dose of it for you with my new digital line, The Raven. The creative team has really outdone themselves with Halloween magic! You can see on their Halloween goodies (complete in tutorial format) in the last half of this newsletter. It’s not to be missed!

If you are more of a fabricminded individual (aka fabric hoarder), check out my new quilt pattern—The Pinfeathers Quilt . Full instructions are included in this issue. I made this quilt specifically for my daughter Siri. It’s the perfect quilt for fabric scraps or fast quilting. Make one for the holidays for someone you love so you can get it to your machine quilter in time for Christmas gifting.

Finally, you’ll be introduced to Susan in this issue! She’s my trusty assistant and takes care of all things digital! You’ll love her (as I do) as she makes things pretty fun around here!

Enjoy!

Carina Gardner, Desginer

there was a soft pink flamingo glow. It was a happy place to lay our heads, especially considering we didn’t lay our heads that often!

Our first night we were able to navigate the crowded streets over to Caesar’s Palace where we popped in to Bobby Flay’s restaurant The Mesa Grill. The place was awesome, dark woods and lights shaped like balls of fire. And the flavors were to die for! Carina likes to sample a lot of different things off of the menu which makes her a blast to go out and eat with.

susan’s inside scoop on spraguefest photographs by Carina Gardner & Susan Haglund I have one word for you....are you ready....here it comes....

SPRAGUEFEST! I had heard the stories and I had seen the pictures but nothing can compare to being an attendee at the actual Spraguefest!

After dinner we settled in and the next morning after accomplishing some work and getting ready (in the bathroom that boasted a television in the mirror), we made our way to The Paris hotel and discovered that there was a restaurant in the Eiffel Tower!

Okay, now I know at this point you are wondering when the Spraguefest report is coming.... it’s coming. But you can’t go to Las Vegas and not talk about the food!

Thinking back I believe the Eiffel Tower restaurant was my favorite.

There were this amazing popover style onion rolls that they just kept putting on our plates. I could have had a whole meal of those treats and been perfectly fine! And there was a palate cleanser of amazing mushroom soup. We agreed that any meal that begins with a palate cleanser is going to be great!

When our food arrived we both seemed to be coveting each others so we gleefully agreed to split and I have to say both meals were equally excellent.

Another awesome thing was that you can watch the Bellagio water show from your perch in the Eiffel Tower. The Bellagio was right across the street, and when those fountains began to dance it just added something even more wonderful to the meal!

We shopped for a bit to buy the funniest book ever at Urban Outfitters (“All My Friends Are Dead”) and walked around The Sugar Factory (it was the perfect place to buy our kids some gifts!).

This year’s festivities took place in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hotel right on the strip, a funky retro hotel with a hipster vibe reminding you of the golden age of Las Vegas when Sinatra ruled the strip.

Our room was like a wonderful sugary confection, a bright yummy scoop of Neapolitan Ice Cream. There were shiny white vinyl headboards and a frosted glass doors enclosing the bathroom and when you turned off the main light in the bathroom I admire the amazing view at the Eiffel Tower restaurant.

The next morning we got up early to prepare for Carina’s class.

For some reason it seemed like everywhere we went in Vegas we were running. And unfortunately I always seemed to have to run in high heel boots. Stylish yes! Comfortable to run in everywhere....NO.

Carina picking up some sweet treats for her daughters.

(Spraguefest continued...)

And then ran back to the hotel to get ourselves looking pretty.

The mixing and mingling at the dinner was a fun way to kick everything off.

This night was the kickoff dinner for Spraguefest and you could feel the excitement in the air as we approached the conference room where the dinner was being held. Everybody was so sweet and enthusiastic to be there. It is so wonderful to meet in person these amazing people who have taken Carina’s classes at JessicaSprague.com or created digital scrapbooking projects with her papers.

It was such a treat to feel this instant bond with people over creativity and learning. People from all over the country that were all in different stages of life were all sharing their love of digital scrapbooking.

That night Carina and I had our monthly meeting. I have to say meetings are way more fun in big fluffy hotel bed with room service.

Carina was teaching a class about the practical uses for color in design. Carina has such a way with teaching, her enthusiasm for design just shines through and therefore makes everybody around her enthusiastic as well!

The class began with everybody getting their paint on, with a blank color wheel some red, blue and yellow paint and a paintbrush.

As Carina went over the color wheel and how colors related to each other she then dove into the color picker in Photoshop. If you took Art of Digital Design II at JessicaSprague.com you will remember the amazing lesson on color. Carina was able to take it all to another level with everybody right there in person!

Jessica and her staff (Laurie and Kristen pictured left) were also amazing. The amount of work that was put into this event was mind blowing. We received fantastic swag bags and handmade felt flower pins and even Spraguefest t-shirts. Carina and the other designers on Jessica’s site gave out coupons and Carina’s coupons came tied with some fat quarters from her fabric lines (they were amazing!).

creative. Jessica is so personable and kind and truly loves what she does and like Carina, it shows through in her teachings and her classes.

Carina and I exchange photos in the elevator in the Vegas Eiffel Tower.

(Spraguefest continued...)

Once Carina wrapped up, Heidi Swapp was up next with an awesome hybrid class. We created a lovely scrap journal that would make you drool! Well, mine didn’t really make anybody drool because it was sort of sad but that is because I was rushing and something this amazing must not be rushed!

Once we wrapped up the classes for the day we zipped back to our scoop of Neapolitan goodness to change and head out to the famous Neon Boneyard (An amazing assortment of salvaged neon signs from old historical hotels and businesses in Las Vegas).

a big Top Chef fan and have had quite the crush on the wonderful Hubert after seeing him on Top Chef Masters. The food was delicious and despite my high hopes Hubert was not in the house.

After our dinner we joined our Spraguefesters Meg and Joan for The Lion King. WOW, what a show. The voices were amazing and the production was fantastic.

Carina and I both kept wishing our daughters were there to enjoy it with us.

I have ALWAYS wanted to see the Boneyard so it seemed the perfect time to do with all of our Spraguefest friends. The place was amazing, I really could have stayed there all day shooting pics of the signs. The colors and textures were gorgeous and everywhere you looked was another piece of history.

Our journey back to The Flamingo included cradling 5 lb gummy bears, a ride on the New York New York Roller Coaster (Joan and I opted out. I did it once years ago and that was enough for me!), some pretzels and cheese in the arcade, and lots of dancing before we hit the monorail back to our hotel.

After the Boneyard we changed yet AGAIN and took a cab to Mandalay Bay where we indulged in the yummy goodness of Fleur, a Hubert Keller restaurant. I am

Jessica Sprague taught the Sunday morning class. I loved seeing the tables lined with laptops and everybody being so

And then suddenly it ended as it began with us running, running, running (yes, I was wearing another pair of high heeled boots).

We had to get back to the hotel, gather up our things and hop into the car of an attendee (Thanks LuAnn!!) who was kind enough to give us a ride to the airport. Sadly, we missed Candace Stringham’s class on night photography and I didn’t even get to say goodbye to everybody because we had to catch a plane.

The whole way home Carina and I went over the entire trip and how amazing it was. The people, the classes, the food, the shopping the creativity and journey that makes Spraguefest what it is!

It was all business during the color class.

pinfeathers™ rosetta wreath A free download of the instructions is also available for this wreath at carinagardner.com

Cut out strips of fabric that are 3” x 42” in size. Just leave fabric folded over once from where it was folded over on the bolt and cut 3” from the edge. You will need between 36 to 40 strips for an 18” styrofoam wreath. (If you are using fabric scraps, you need about 3” x 8” pieces.You will need 4 to 5 times as many of these strips).

2. Fold a strip in half and sew and gather the raw edge. Using a ruffler foot helps this process. (PS You can skip this step and just go to this third step but you will need a lot more hot glue and a steady hand).

3. Cut the ruffled strips into 4” to 5” pieces. Then twist the 4” ruffled strips into rosettes.

4. Hot glue each rosette to the styrofoam wreath. Make sure to alternate colors if using several different scrap of fabric.

Instructions 1. First decide on the size of your mini album. I chose 6 X 6. Then using Carina Gardner’s “The Raven” Megan Collection along with some elements from Carina’s “Haunted” collection I designed my album pages. Because my album was going to be an “Autumn” album I picked photos that went with the theme including pictures of the fall colors, the family raking leaves and Halloween pictures.

2. Next print your album out and cut out each page.

3. For my front page I chose a quote about autumn which I placed on one of “The Raven”’s labels which I then traced the outline of with a glue stick and added some black glitter.

4. Next I picked a place to add my hole punch (for this album I did a single punch in upper left hand corner.

5. Then using some twigs from outside that I spray painted black and cut down to about 4 inches I gathered them up in a length of ribbon and threaded it through the hole and tied it in the bow!
