Amazing Joy-filled sky

A bucket list item for me.. to soar in a balloon.  Did you know.. I am a certified Sky Diver?  Yup.. my husband says I'm certifiable though, lol... I plan, one day, to ride in a hot air balloon.  Until then, I'll use the FREE Sale~~Bration items with my Up & Away thinlit dies to create some fun dreams, wrapped up in a sparkling handmade card.  Created at our Spring Crafternoon - we have a full line-up of card making and crafting classes online, in-person and to-go waiting for YOU!

Love and flowers handmade card

I was asked where I receive my inspiration.. often I dream up cards, drawing them out in my mind... but this beautiful card was inspired by another demonstrator (Stesha Bloodhart) who did something similar - I just made it my own.  Today's Spring Crafternoon was packed with four stunning handmade cards.  Join us at our next crafting and card making classes.. online, in person and to-go options available.  Grab these FREE Items NOW - the last few hours before Sale~A~Bration ends.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
