Discovered a great website

Look who just got on the bus! lol! I have heard of Becky Fleck and Page Maps for awhile now but never actually saw her sketches. Wow! I always sketch my layouts first, it's really helpful, especially if you do a lot of layering and use multiple printed papers. Becky's sketches are awesome, you have to check them out! If you ever get stuck with what you want to do with a layout, visit Becky's website for some inspiration! http://www.pagemaps.com My upcoming Happy Birthday (or Celebrate, I haven't decided!) class is inspired by one of her sketches. She also has a book of sketches, but the website has them in PDF format if you want to download and save in a binder! When Becky Higgins came out with her very first Sketches book I used it so much that the pages started to fall out and the corners were all curled! lol! Loved it!

Hmmm, maybe it's a "Becky thing"!?!

Scrap something this weekend!! And bookclub'ers, don't forget your acrylic albums for next week!! I guess I should get to work on mine too!! lol!

BTW, did you notice that the sample pictures are side by side?? I did it! It wasn't easy but I finally did it with HTML code <- yikes! So now I am happy so I can go back to scrapping!!

Always more later...

Upcoming classes for April

First of all, thanks for the feedback so far! Keep it coming! I keep researching and learning as I go. The next thing I will do is actually create a scrapped banner and I have a funny picture of me to add to the profile - if I can just find it! When you see it you will so know it's me! lol!

Well, I finally did it!!

Well, I said I would do it so here it is! My Scrap blog! It's such a work in progress, I am pretty lost trying to set up all the little add ons but I am getting there little by little! Bring on suggestions! I want to add an event calendar to list my classes but I am having a little trouble, but like I said - I'll get there! My schedule is currently listed in the upper corner for now. :) I also need to change the name!! lol!! I couldn't think of something fun at the time but that's going to change for sure!! Maybe I will have a little contest - Name my Blog! Let me think about what I can come up with for a prize!!

This blog is going to be all about my scrapbooking. I want to be able to share my upcoming classes at Strictly Scrapbooking and Pinecone Press. I have all kinds of ideas for classes in the future! Definitely coming to Strictly Scrapbooking will be a "Mickey and Friends" layout, "Princess" layout, "Loves of My Life" heart mini book, and a "Happy Birthday" layout.

I look forward to your feedback and ideas to make this better!
