PMU Silhouette 2 GIVEAWAY!!!

Hi friends and blog readers!  Sorry for my unexplained blogging absence.  I didn't intend to take such a break - oops! But with the busyness of the end of the school year and my kids in a million spring activities, I'm finding it easier to do most of my creative project sharing on Instagram.  Speaking of instagram, do you follow me over there (I'm @jaclynrenchstudio)?  I hope so, because I'm going to be doing a fun GIVEAWAY next week for my insta followers, with some extra goodies that I picked up at the Studio Calico warehouse sale!!!!  Fun, right?!

Well lucky for you, if you're visiting me today, you've stumbled upon another fun GIVEAWAY!

I am super excited to announce that I am one of the contributors to Nicole Nowosad's second Silhouette Essentials class being sponsored by PageMaps U.  If you're a silhouette user and interested in kicking up your skills a notch, then this class is for you!  It is loaded with beautiful layouts, cutting files, precise instructions, videos and so much more, and covers everything from printing and cutting custom shapes to making stencils and using your Picscan mat! This four-week course begins on Monday, June 6th. For your chance to win a spot in this class, simply leave a comment on this post and share what your favorite spring flower is (mine is the tulip!). I will draw a random winner on Saturday, May 14^th.

Check out the sneak peek HERE.  It looks awesome, doesn't it?!

I'll be back tomorrow evening to announce the winner (follow me on Instagram for extra entries!) and share some other things I've been working on.  See you then!  In the meantime, good luck and happy Fri-YAY! ;)

A peek at some upcoming projects

Happy Sunday!  Hope you are enjoying a warm and pleasant day, like we are here in Ohio.  I'm about to step out to take my youngest son to his second flag football game of the season.  But before I do, I wanted to pop in and share some peeks at a couple of things I have been working on behind the scenes.  It's always hard to keep from sharing fun scrappy news, but now I can give you a little taste of two exciting projects I've had a little hand in recently.  

If you're a fan of sketches (like I am!) then you're certain to know the name Becky Fleck and Pagemaps - those three names are practically synonymous! A recent visit to the Pagemaps site might have clued you in that something big is happening over there.  Becky and Pagemaps have revealed a new online educational program titled PagemapsU.

Registration for the first class begins on October 1st, but starting today you can preview a sample of the class for FREE on the Pagemaps website here. How exciting is that?  I am very honored to be one of the designers asked to create projects for this fun, new educational program.  I hope you'll hop over and check out the first free session.  It features step by step directions for creating a darling card by Becky and a super cute layout from Kelly Goree.  Not only that, but you can download some free exclusive cut files for you diecut machine!

I also wanted to share a peek of something fun that will be available from Bella Blvd, tomorrow!

It's the September issue of the Bella Buzz newsletter, and I just *might* have a little something included in it!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a link to the full newsletter and a look at the page I created for it.

Until then have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping by today, friends!
