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
Paper: Elegant Soiree Designer Paper Series, Crumb Cake cardstock, Baja Breeze cardstock, Very Vanilla cardstock

Stampin' Up! for the win!

I like paper. I like making things from paper. When I attended my first Stampin' Up! workshop over a year ago, it became I LOVE paper and I LOVE making things from paper. I was hooked. There was no turning back. I fell in love with Stampin' Up!

Here are my top 2 reasons for loving Stampin' Up:
#1- Everything matches! The cardstock, patterned paper, inks, and ribbon come in coordinating colors. Even the punches coordinate with many of the stamps. I used to spend a lot of time trying to find things that matched. No more!
#2- The quality of their materials and products is top-notch. For example: The cardstock is dyed all the way through meaning there's no white peeking through when it's cut. I know I am getting the best.
