Fun Scrapbook Project

The above pictures are of the fun paperbag scrapbook that I made. It is 6 x 6" and I made it with You Rock Paper. There are several hidden pockets for journalling or more photos. It was a first for me and it makes a nice gift as a brag book. Ask me how and let me show you. Contact me at jojay@shaw.ca or 250-763-6780 if you would like to learn how to make your own paperbag scrapbook.

May 2010 Workshop On The Go

These are the new Cherry O Workshop on the Go layouts and cards. Note that one set is basic, no frills or embellishments and the other with the suggested added embellishments. This is a fun kit and there is still oodles of paper left to make more layouts and cards.

Please contact me by email at jojay@shaw.ca or pone 250-763-6780 if you would like to participate in the May Workshop on the Go and I will order a kit for you, so you can get started right away. Let me show you how.

Okotoks Scrapbooking Convention

I had a wonderful time at the Scrapbooking Convention in Okotoks, which was a fundraiser for the Rowan House Women's Shelter. We were able to take classes of choice and I chose the photography class and the CTMH Studio J, which will be available to everyone soon. It is an online scrapbooking with a single price for a layout (2 pages) and all the embellishments you desire. Studio J is user friendly and the best program I have seen. Your pages will be delivered to you with page protectors ready to add to your album. Of coarse you can add 3-D embellishments when you receive your pages. There were almost 150 ladies scrapbooking and making cards. Lots of free prizes were given away and we played some games and entered contests. I won a huge basket full of scrapbooking supplies by winning the reverse bingo game. Good thing I had an empty suitcase to bring it all home in! What a lot of fun and good fellowship. I am planning to go again next year.

Unfortunately, I have to cancel the open crop dates for Tuesday, February 23rd and Friday February 26th. I am sorry if this has inconvenienced anyone. I will be here for Saturday, February 27th from 1 - 4:00 p.m.

Valentine's

These are the Valentine's I made for the very large single's group that I belong to. Very much appreciated and I had fun making them. They are little bags that I cut out, stamped, folded and glued together, then inserted a little baggie of candy hearts for everyone.

OPEN CROPS

I will be available for Open Crops for scrapbooking, cards and more on the following dates:

Tuesdays, February 9th, 16th and 23rd
Thursday February 11th,
Fridays, February 19th, and 26th
from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
and
Saturdays, February 13th, 20th and 27th from 1 - 4:00 p.m.

Bring your supplies, photos, embellishments etc. and come out to have fellowship and fun. If you don't have paper, cardstock etc. I will be happy to sell you some at my cost.

Also, if there is interest I will teach a new Technique, for a small fee of $5.00 (all supplies included). 'Let me show you how' - You will make and take.

So, treat yourself to some relaxation time and come out to just have fun scrapbooking. If you have any questions, please call me at 250-763-6780 or send me an email at jojay@shaw.ca.
