The super talented Teresa Collins hosts this a-m-a-z-i-n-g event each year, and this year the size has doubled! Ginger Nelson of Down To Details is the most awesome coordinator and organizer of the event! We are staying here for the weekend (Gail & I). It's a grand location, the Green Valley Ranch Hotel & Spa Resort & Casino.
There are some very familiar names teaching throughout the weekend including Stephanie Ackerman,Janet Hopkins from House of 3, Elizabeth Kartchner, Janna Wilson and Teresa Collins! Melody Ross is also the Opening Night's Keynote Speaker.
So, I know you are asking yourself by now....yah, yah get to the point....what is the point? Well, besides the fact that both Liz Kartchner and Janna Wilson are using Bella Blvd products in their classes, Ginger invited Bella Blvd to teach a SURPRISE Workshop last night (Friday) for the attendees! It was great! Awesome! fun! inspiring! exciting....gosh I could go on and on.
The entire Friday night mini-workshops were planned in secret to surprise the attendees as an extra or bonus class!!! It's been killing me to not promote it and announce it earlier and tell everyone all about it!
So here it is, Gail & I taught this super cute envelope mini album using One Fall Day products! The minis were a hit! And we even have extras for sale in the onsite store! They're sellin' like hot cakes ;)
There's lots of tags and pockets and inserts. It's a very "interactive" mini album!
Gail did such a wonderful job preparing all our workshop kits for this weekend! Thank you so much to Ginger and Teresa for allowing Bella Blvd to come! We are having a *great*, *great* time here in Vegas!
We'll share more pictures soon!!
So, would you like to win one of these class kits for FREE?! The class kit comes complete with everything pre-cu, plus a color step-by-step direction sheet! Just leave a comment below for your chance to win! Winner will be announced Tuesday morning along with the Faded Finds Photo frames giveaway winners.

Wow, Stephanie! How cool is that! I love the mini and am sure that you and Gail are having a blast in Vegas! Wish I could be there! I went to an A's crop last night and was using some of your lines...a bunch of store employees who worked there came over to see what I was using, and put it on their request sheet at the store.
