Let me just say that having a Friday off from work is ALWAYS a good thing! This Friday I had a double treat....not one, but TWO classes with Karen Russell at Scrapbook Attack....I've been reading her blog for quite some time and have been admiring her line of scrapbooking papers & embelishments....today, I had the pleasure of spending 9+ hours with her. What a cool person! Fun to be around, talks almost as fast as I do (but you can understand her 99% of the time) and she's SO creative! Doralisa & I took a Photography Q&A class this morning and we were learning so much, that the class decided to just skip doing the actual project box (we got a kit with the class) and just have her talk about photography for 4+ hours...it was GREAT! Now I just wish I had a money tree growing in my back yard so I could buy a decent digital camera that actually can take great photos (without a flash).
The second class, Capi & I took together (Picture This)....we learned how to think outside the box using basic page protectors and make more interactive pages. We also got to play around with non-standard size photos (typically 4" x 6") and got to use 2" x 2" and what would have been a 4" x 12" (if I could FOLLOW directions). This class was GREAT and again, learned a lot and had a FUN time!
