Over the past 2 weeks, I have managed to get quite a few scrapbook layouts done!!! They are all pretty basic and simple. But my goal in scrapbooking is to my children the stories about their childhood that they would never remember otherwise. I don’t worry too much about "getting caught up." I just scrapbook the pictures and the stories that are most meaningful to me in the moment.  I focus on photos and journaling. Enjoy the layouts!

So what do you think? Are you motivated to get scrapping?!!!

Sorry I have been so quiet this week. I have been enjoying some holiday time with my family! We had 15 people for dinner last night!!!  It was crazy- but a good crazy. The kids got so many gifts that I can hardly see the floor in their huge toy room. And we still have to go to grandma’s house today!!! And I got a few new stamp sets to play with!!! (When I can squeeze in some stamping time!) Plus, my sweet hubby got me a digital videa camera and I am dying to make a video tutorial!!!

I hope that everyone had a merry Christmas and is spending time with friends and family!

Here is a super sweet picture of my babies!

I have not had any time in my stamp room in days- so I am going to show you another one of the scrapbook layouts that my class made a few weeks ago.

The page was made with the I Wish Simply Scrappin’ kit. Love those kits!!!

Stay tuned for pictures from my upcoming Valentine’s class as well as some new Class by Mail kits!

I had my I Wish Christmas scrapbook class last Friday night and it was so much fun. The gals made 6 layouts in record breaking time! I am going to be doing a lot more scrapbooking classes in 2009! In fact, I have already planned a Baby Album class for February!

But back to my class… this was my favorite layout that we made in class…

I think that I really love it because of the super cute pictures of my daughter on Santa’s lap! Here are a couple close ups…

One thing that I do to save cardstock on a page like this is to cut out the center of the white cardstock since it doesn’t show. Then I can use it for the photo mats. I just use a paper trimmer and cut from 1-11 inches on each side. This will make your supplies go even farther in the kit!

Just in case I lost you, here is what the back of my layout looks like…

If you weren’t able to make it to class or get a class kit- don’t forget that you can still order the I Wish Simply Scrappin kit to make your Christmas scrapping a little easier! Just click HERE to be taken to my Stampin Up website and then Click on the Shop Now button in the top right corner. And all orders over $70 will get FREE shipping until the 23rd! Don’t miss out!

 

I had a few people ask me yesterday about what Copic Marker are… these markers are used by Illustrators and Magna artists. They go on very smooth and are blendable. You can just keep putting colors on top of one another. They aren’t as streaky as other markers. And they come in hundreds of colors. Do I recommend them? Only if you color A LOT! They are expensive! More expensive than Stampin’ Up markers. They also take some practice to color with since we are not used to blending marker colors. I almost always use my Stampin’ Up! markers. But one day I hope to do more with the Copics that I have. I hope that helps!

Every year, I offer a scrapbooking class in December. I love it- because it forces me to get a jump start on my scrapbooking!!! I think that my customers love it for the same reason! Imagaine printing your pictures on the 1st of the year and have 6 scrapbook layouts waiting for them! Today is the last day to sign up to come to my scrapbooking class on the 12th and it is also the last day to buy a class kit by mail. Click HERE for all the details.

Here is another peak at one of the layouts we will be maiking in class…

Are you wondering why I put three of the same picture on th page? Well I didn’t have any other horizontal pictures from our Christmas shoot and I wanted to be able to show you where I intended for the pictures to be placed when I designed the page. Make sense?

Here is a close up of the cute little tag that comes in the I Wish kit. I used it as my title on this page…

I think I may end up using this page for pictures of my kids snuggled up in their jammies on Christmas Eve!

Hope to see you in class!!!

I will be taking the weekend off of blogging in order to spend some extra time with my family- but I am working on a tutorial that I will be posting first thing Monday morning!!!!

Have a great weekend!
