May Scrapbook Class

I began scrapbooking a couple of years ago. I've found it to be quite relaxing. It's a wonderful opportunity to organize all the memories of the year.

Scrapbooking can seem somewhat daunting at first. How do you fill up all that space? How do you organize everything? I think this is one of those things that is actually easier than it looks.

To illustrate that point and to share the love I have for scrapbooking, I held a "Scrapbook for Beginners" class a couple of weeks ago. I demonstrated how a 6"x6" page can made into an 8 1/2"x11" page. Then, that 8 1/2"x11" page can be made into a 12"x12" page. We did a layout that could accomodate up to 4 pictures.

Stamps: Fast and Fabulous, Broadsheet Alphabet
