Book of Me!!!

How many of you never scrapbook themselves??? I was certainly one of them until I read more and more about people starting to scrapbook about themselves. I thought it was an excellent idea and it really makes me look back on the person I have become. I started this class with 6 amazing girls who are as excited as I am to make a whole album about different things of ourselves. I know it is soooooo much more easy to scrapbook someone else but it's time to take a minute and think of us for a change. Don't you agree??? Here are the first 3 layouts we have done. It is a working progress. At the end we will have finished a whole 6 x 9 album of ourselves. How cool is that???

Well I have decided to repeat this class because so many of you have asked if I was going to give it again. I just received the albums so we can start the class soon. We have 1 class a month. The class will last 10 months because there is 10 layouts to finish the whole album. We will use the same sketches for the second class. The only difference will be that we will use different paper and maybe different embellishments. The topics will also be the same so you can already start looking for your pictures if you are interested in taking the class.

I don't have a starting date yet, but I was thinking of starting this class in March. January is already filled up and I only have 2 1/2 weeks of classes in February because I will be going on the CROP and CRUISE.

I will start taking registration for this class now so you can start getting ready for it. I know some of you don't enjoy getting your pictures takin but I think it's going to be fun. The first class is $20.00 and all classes after that are $10.00/month.

Send me an e-mail as soon as possible if you are interested in this class as it will fill up fast.

Happy Scrapping.

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I am soooooooo looking foward to 2009 with this new adventure of mine. I never thought I would get a chance to do something everyday that I am truly passionate about: scrapbooking. I am working on all the classes coming up in January and February. It feels great to be able to scrapbook again. I hadn't scrapbooked since October...just too busy with the opening of the store and my carpal tunnel surgery. Nothing is stopping me now!!!!

Did you all get lots of Scrapbooking supplies for Christmas??? I sure hope so. I still have spots for this FRIDAY NIGHT CROP TILL YOU DROP from 6:00pm to midnight. All you need to do is send me an e-mail to keep your spot. Come and join us. We'll have lots of fun!!!!

I only have 2 more spots for the SEIZE THE MOMENT class. Hurry and send me an e-mail.

All these classes are already full, but I am posting them as a reminder for everyone:

Book of me ($10.00) - Thursday Jan 8th - 8:00 to 10:00

Heritage Layout ($15:00) - Monday Jan 12th - 6:30 to 8:30

Make sure to bring your Basic Kit (Trimmer, adhesive, scissors, pencil...) for all classes and your ink pads. I have lots in the store if you don't have the right color.As you can see in the picture above, you will need a B/W 5 x 7 picture for the Heritage layout. I also posted a picture of the supplies we will use for the Christmas album. As soon as the other projects are done, I will post a picture so you can see the finished products.

Just to give you an idea of upcoming classes in February and March... Love album, Home cubes, another Book of Me class, Travel mini album, another Heritage layout, Smile layout and winter layout. Is this enough or do you want more...LOL I don't think I could handle more!!!

OK now enough about classes and more with the NEW PRODUCTS coming in this week!!! I am getting the Basic Grey Bittersweet line, Doodle Bug Crushed Velvet Coating, more pearls, new flowers, Distress Stickles, and soooooo much more. Don't be shy, come and visit.

You can also come scrapbook during the opening hours of the store for $5.00. Can't wait to see you!!!!

Happy Scrapping!!!
