Stampin' With Lauren

Album In A Day Scrapbooking Class Coming In May!

I will be having another Album In A Day Scrapbooking Class in Uxbridge, MA on May 17th.  The class will run from 9am until 4pm, and we will make 18 scrapbook pages with seasonal themes. 

I will provide ALL of the Stampin' Up! products that you need to make great pages--pre-cut card stock and Designer Series paper, ribbon, buttons, felt flowers, brads, etc., plus page layouts for you to copy.  You also get to use my stamps, inks, and tools for the day.  I suggest that you leave your photos at home and just add them later on.  You will receive a 12 x 12 Linen Ring Album (for Post-Bound, add $3) and a "Sunshine Garden" Simply Scrappin' Kit.  We will have coffee, tea, bottled water, baked treats and, of course, chocolate for refreshments to get us through the day.  We will also be sending out for lunch, or you can bring your own from home. 

The cost of this class in $79, and you must pre-register and pre-pay by May 3rd.  I will be ordering your supplies on May 4th so they have time to arrive and be prepared for you before May 17th.

Album In A Day Scrapbooking Class

If you live in Central Massachusetts, Northern Rhode Island, or Northern Connecticut and love scrapbooking, you might be interested in this class which is being held in Uxbridge, Massachusetts on June 29th.  It is an all day class, from 9:00am until about 4:00pm.  I will be setting up stations all around the conference room with all of the inks, stamps, and tools that you need to make 18 pre-designed 12 x 12 pages.  For your registration fee of $89.00, you will get a 12 x 12 linen album, a Simply Scrappin' Kit, all of the pre-cut card stock, and ribbon, brads, buttons, chipboard pieces, etc. to construct gorgeous pages.  All of the products used will be from Stampin' Up!  Leave your photos at home and simply add them to the finished pages at your leisure.  The registration deadline for this class is June 8th.  You can find the registration form (which you need to print out and mail to me!) in the right-hand column of this blog.  If you have any questions, or if you are afraid that the form won't get to me in time, feel free to call me at the phone number listed on the form. 

Everyone who has attended this class in the past has given it rave reviews.  We have a lot of fun, and everyone goes home with an album that they can be proud of.  I will also have coffee and snacks, and you can either order pizza or a sandwich for lunch. 

I hope you can come and stamp and scrap with us on the 29th.  It's going to be a great day!

Judi Dugas, Guest Blogger!

My friend, Judi Dugas, has sent me an AWESOME scrapbook page that she made using the "Out & About" Simply Scrappin' Kit.  The journaling box on the left says "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.  Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.  Just walk beside me and be my friend."  I had heard this saying before, but not in reference to a relationship with a child.  It  goes perfectly with her photographs, and it really adds to the atmosphere of the page.  I feel like I'm getting a peek into what looks like it was a special day spent by a man and a boy out enjoying nature together. I LOVE this page!  Thanks, Judi!

If you would like to have your work showcased on my blog, all you have to do is send a digital photo to my email address.  Please include the "recipe", or materials used to make your project, whether it is a card, scrapbook page, or 3-D item.  I know there are many talented stampers & scrappers out there reading this, so what are you waiting for?  Whether you are already a friend of mine, or are simply a friend-to-be, I'm waiting to hear from you and I would love to see your work and share it on my blog!  Bye for now.......

A Page For My Princess

I finally got the first of my Disney World pages done today.  I enjoy scrapbooking, but I am relatively new at it, so I don't have a tremendous amount of experience in coming up with my own original design ideas yet.  This page is a perfect example of how you don't need to be original to make a great looking page.  I copied this layout from Stampin' Up!'s Winter Mini Catalog, page 14.  One of the stamp sets that I used, Butterfly of Happiness, is from that catalog.  I adapted the colors to work with my photograph, made a couple of minor changes, and I'm quite pleased with the way it came out.  My inspiration page in the Mini Catalog is actually one of a two-page spread, so I'm planning on using a picture of my son at Disney World to complete my second page.  He did NOT want to get his face painted that day,  but I have a picture of him that shows off his goofy character very nicely.  I'm going to have SO much blackmail material when my kids are teenagers!  Bye for now.....
