i would love to attend the decorative/creative journaling workshop :)
Decorative/Creative Journaling with Debbie Bitner sounds amazing! I would also love to attend Calligraphy 101.
I would LOVE to be able to come to the Calligraphy 101 with Laurie Paolinetti! Thanks so much for the chance to win :)
The pen materials one seems fascinating to me!
Either of the card creation workshops sound amazing. Buying cards seems like such a waste of money, but I picked up some clear stamps recently and have made my own!
Exploring Ink in unique ways sounds the coolest to me. There are so many beautiful inks out there and I’d love to get creative with how to use them!
It would be a toss up between the creative journaling workshop and fountain pen 101! What wonderful offerings!
I like to attend the fountain pen 101 presentation but unfortunately I won’t be attending the sidewalk sale.
I can’t decide if I’m more excited about creative journaling or stunning handcrafted cards. Really looking forward to both of them!
I would love to attend the Creating Card class, the Q&A or Calligraphy 101! I think these go together nicely!
I would take Decorative Creative Journaling since I am a journal artist but can’t be there on Friday. Love to see other people’s takes on Art journaling.
I think I would have to pick the Q & A with Brian and Brendan.
Wish I could go, would love to attend Fountain Pen 101!
I wish I could go to the sidewalk sale. If I was able to go, I would want to go to the Exploring Ink in new ways workshop.
Fountain Pen 101 with Bryce was a blast last year, it’d be super fun to attend again.
Definitely interested in the Q&A and learning more about the history of Atlas
