Getting Ready for the Fall

People are getting their kids ready for school, the temperatures are going to start falling.  Football games will begin with all the cheer leaders giving them a big cheer!  No one wants to see winter come just yet! 

With all of this happening it is time to get back to your scrapbooking.  I will be starting a course on Digital Scrapbooking hopefully this fall or in the beginning of the year.  I am starting to work on it now.  We are into our 4th week of the altered book class and they have voted for me to add another class on, so I did.

We are also working on many more Scrapbook kits for those who just don't want to did into their creative mind.  Sometimes people don't realize how much work we put into our Scrapbooks.  I think we should be able to lose calories for our heavy thinking and creativity!

Well I have to get back to work - I will post some pictures of the classes we have done.

Krazy Cricuters Club

Each month I have a class where we explore a different Cricut Cartridge and learn what you can cut from that cartridge.  This month we are doing Nifty Fifty Cartridge.  This is a full size cartridge with unique shapes that you can use as matting in your scrapbook or card making.  In this cartridge you also have a  really neat font.  Looking at this cartridge makes you feel like you are back in the fifties but you can give it a modern day look for your scrapbook.

I am still learning how to operate this blog!  lol! So I will post the picture shortly.
