She sees the potential in the discarded, history in the mundane and art in the everyday. She saves everything, makes anything and teaches from a place of passion and authenticity. Courtney believes everyone is creative and she'd rather spend an evening drinking tea and painting than doing anything else (except maybe scavenging treasures abroad).

Learn how to take a single geometric motif and create a suite of party projects, playing with scale and color to create decorations with big impact. You can use the motif as a stencil to paint everything from a large design on a tablecloth to a small design on a planter, or you can play with quantity by stringing together dozens of paper cutouts for a photo-booth backdrop. Courtney also presents ideas for using the leftover cutouts for party favors, like a pillow box container with a decorative trim. To cut out the pieces for all of these projects, you can use a cutting machine like Cricut Exploreв„ў to speed up the process, or you can cut out the paper and stencils by hand with an X-acto knife and cutting mat--the choice is up to you! The end result is a cohesive collection of projects that will add a glamorous touch to your next party.
