Art Journal LIVE in Las Vegas!!!
Published April 4, 2011 | 
On April 1st, I flew out of Sacramento to Las Vegas, to take an ART Journaling Class with Tangie Baxter! I was gonna meet my boss, friend and a woman I have admired for years! Excitement and nerves were ridiculously high! I would like to share my journey with you and hope that one day you can enjoy the experience of learning LIVE from Tangie Baxter. I arrived a few hours before the class, and since I was only there for the day, had arranged with Tangie to help set up the room for the class. The hotel was the Riveria, and sparkles and mirrors were everywhere! I have to admit, I am no longer a drinker, gambler or much of a party gal like goes on in Vegas, and it was a bit wow to me! But, it sure was pretty!
I finally found the conference center and took a picture of me in the walls, which were all mirrors! I went and got all gussied up in the bathroom and made sure I didn’t have chocolate on my face or spinach between my teeth and poked my head into the room:
There is Mimi (in blue), Tangie (bending in green), Rebecca McMeen (Studio Rebecca), then Molly (DeCrow Designs), I took a big breath and said hey! Oh it was like being at a family reunion. I was in awe at all the fun things to play with on the tables, and just enjoying the banter and happiness before. I had brought a little present for Tangie, as her birthday was the previous Sunday and well, I kinda felt my fellow caravaners would want to give something to Our Tangie, so I found this cool sign and little camels, and Tangie was sweet as could be opening them.
Then dear Molly set them up by the sign in sheet and I was beaming and just so excited!
There was squealing and hugs all around as folks began to come in for the class. Pictures of everyone with each other and laughter finding out that the face behind the avatar and matching with screen names! I admit I got them all confused and will need ya’lls help to get them all straight!

HeyJude, Jackie, Sharlamb, Linda, and darn where did Debora go?
The hotel brought in the most yummy lunch! Oh it was beyond awesome! I ate enough for two…and tee hee, wrapped a sandwich for the airplane ride home! Hey you can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the girl! hee hee
Once we started eating, Tangie started teaching, I video’d only the very beginning to see how awesome and prepared she is, and it will tantalize you and beg her to have another class! SOON!
Then we got to work! We started by making an ugly page! I did good at that, but I tell you some of these ladies cheated, their ugly pages were beautiful! There were so many exercises in adding to the pages in the journals that had been handmade by Tangie and sewn by her husband.
This next shot is from the mirror on the top of the wall, you can see the different station at the top for playing with glitter mist, which is gonna make me go broke, cause that stuff is remarkable!
Most of these ladies are from Scrap Orchard and were having a blast learning Art Journaling, I do see Penny Noel from the AJC with the glasses 2nd from right, in the purple shirt. I was so impressed with these ladies pages!

Here ya go, action shot, and there is Debora! She is a wealth of info and I tell you this table was full of knowledge, I was eavesdropping and loving every moment!
Tangie is famous, she had a couple layouts in the Spring 2010 Somerset Digital Studio magazine and was a featured artist in the Spring 2011! I wanted to make sure I got her autograph!
The class went so fast, it was 4 o’clock before I knew it, and we cleaned up, hugs and they all had to check in for the wild time of Digiscrapalooza sponsored by Scrap Orchard, and I had a plane to catch to take me back to Sacramento.
There were cameras snapping all over and my little camera isn’t the best, but my memories of Art Journal LIVE can never be erased, and I am amazed that I am even a part of this community!
Live From Las Vegas!
