AECP Level 2 Complete!

 Good morning, friends!  I am so excited to be able to share with you that I have passed Level 2 of the Altenew Educator Certification Program!  What a journey this has been! 

What does this mean, you ask?  I have now completed 20 courses through the Altenew Academy.  Each course contains 4 - 6 lessons with various techniques around a central focus, such as using stencils, embossing, die-cutting.  They are geared toward taking your card-making up a notch (or a few).  I can't even begin to tell you just how much I have learned, not to mention how I have enjoyed each and every one of the classes. 

Oh, and did I mention that to pass each level, there is a final challenge that must be completed?  Let's not forget those!  I honestly feel that the final challenges were instrumental in forcing me outside of my comfort zone!  

A brief look-back at some of the projects submitted so far (titles will link to the original blog post):

Level 1:

My first course submission - Clean and Simple Boutique Cards

All About Layering 2

 

Seasonal Scene Building

And of course, the Level 1 Final Challenge

Level 2:

With a Twist (One of my ABSOLUTE favorite courses!)

Polychromatic

Masking Unleashed

And lastly, the Level 2 Final Challenge:  Part 1 and Part 2

Now, it is time to move on to Level 3.  I have to complete 5 more courses and then a Final Challenge!  I can't wait to see where the last step of this journey takes me!  

Thank you all for your support, kind words, and encouragement!  Special thanks to Erum Tasneem (@glitternswirls) for guiding me through, and to my amazing friend Kim (@canterburycarddesigns) for allowing me to bounce ideas off of her and continually encouraging me!  

Xoxoxo, 

Kim
