Where do I start.
The Basicgrey layouts I finished just in time, packaged up, just moved out of the way before I sent a full can of Coke Zero flying across my desk? Which I had there just to look at, because, you know, I gave it up weeks ago…. I thanked the God of BasicGrey layouts for taking care of me, that day. The final stages of the renovation? The dust through my house that is so bad it is inbetween my layouts in my cupboard down the hallway? The fact that as I sit here in my itty bitty scraproom I realise it’s just 2 weeks before I move into a bigger office in a different part of the house where I’ll also run our home business from?
It’s all too much.
But it’s all good. So close to finishing. I can’t wait. I’m a happy girl.
But in the meantime I have sadly neglected both my blog and my emails. My inbox is overflowing out of my computer and onto my desk. Which I can’t see for mess anyway. Today I am cleaning it up. I should be back to normal blogging from today though. If I can warm up my hands to type. I hear the South Islanders laughing at me right now – YES it keeps freezing overnight, we are suffering up north here! We just about hit -1 this morning~! Today’s main mission is to set a work-to-do timetable. I might even try and get some submissions away, I haven’t done that in months! this is all after I clean my desk properly from the Coke Zero. The quick clean up I did yesterday just won’t cut it.
I woke this morning to an email from Big Picture Scrapbooking saying that all my classes are up. I’m a happy girl, and incredibly proud. I’ll give you a run-down and I’m hoping some of you will join me at BPS. The classes are instant downloads and really cheap. You are encouranged to use your stash, or the full materials lists are there. Here’s how they go, anyway.
Confessions: A full audio and powerpoint presentation, handout and instructions to complete a mini album.
We all have funny little things that we do. Call them quirks, call them habits; perhaps they are better known as personality traits. our quirks paint pictures of our personalities in ways that we could never describe ourselves.
If we include these aspects in our projects, then when we look back years from now, it’ll be easy to see the true picture of who we really were. So let’s get honest – take a look inside and think of the things that define the real you. We’ve already pinpointed some fun facts about ourselves; now it’s time to include them in our very own ‘Confessions’ albums.
The next one is Conversations, and this one has been up at BPS for a while and is doing really well… I’m getting amazing feedback. It’s a really relaxed class, people are enjoying it…
Inspiration doesn’t flow easily for everybody. We sit with our scrapbooking supplies around us, we have the perfect photos of the subject we want to scrap, yet where are the ideas for the journaling? Where is the inspiration for a title? Often we find ourselves adding a quote or not journaling on our page at all, when we really we wanted to tell more of a story. Through the writing of her recently released book That’s Life: Finding Scrapbook Inspiration in the Everyday, Nic Howard has enjoyed discovering many methods of unearthing the stories we could potentially tell in our pages. Keeping scrapbooking ‘real’ is something Nic is passionate about. She is well known for looking behind the obvious and finding inspiration where others don’t see it. If you want fresh inspiration for journaling, page subject and titles, then this class is for you!
(woohooo! Like that advertising speeeeel there? Sounds all professional-like!)
Ok and the last one is different than what I taught with Stacy –Constant Reminders.
It’s still an acrylic album but it’s newly designed. I used making memories and Rhonna Farrer, although you can use anything. Again, handouts etc all provided, it’s instant download so do it in your own time.. use your stash or use the stuff I have in the materials list (Kiwiscraps has a special link to buy it Iand they have special promo pack freebies available if you buy any BPS stuff through them). I LOVE this class. Have you been curious about Acrylic but not able to attend a class? This might be perfect.
Alrighty. That’s one crapload of promotion really. A girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do to justify her living!
I’ll be back tomorrow with images from the Tarisota gallery. I’m also working on some more promotions like the Stampin’ Up! one we did – I’m sure the info is in one of these emails that is spilling out onto my desk. lol
laters.
