…And on to the Mother LOAD!

As in, LayOut A Day, the next BPC class I am now working on, taught by Lain Ehmann.  Come September, I will be in scrapbook “boot camp”, creating a layout every day for 26 days in that month. I’ll get whipped into shape as far as using my time wisely, being productive, using up old supplies that are currently collecting dust, learning new, time-saving techniques, and generally getting my motivational and creative butt kicked. It will be so awesome! For now, we are getting “warmed up” in class…this week we are organizing our scrap spaces, and using some old products and/or photos to help clean things up. A much-needed exercise, indeed. Here is my layout for this week:

Bo Bunny paper and stickers; Paislee Press green patterned paper. Noelle at 7.

You know, using up old supplies makes room for new ones! Don’t tell my husband I said that. I’ll be back for round 3 in a little while!

My book of Life Lists

I signed up for Kelly Purkey’s new self-paced class at Big Picture Classes called A Week of Life Lists and had a really good time making this book. Each day I will take a photo of something that represents the day, and complete my list whenever I have the chance. I think it will be fun to look back at this someday and remember exactly what I was thinking and feeling at a given moment. I also find the concept of our changing thoughts/feelings/experiences from day to day very interesting. I’ve never been much of a list-maker, but with respect to self-discovery at a future date, it could be rather illuminating, so I’ll do it. What have I got to lose?

inside pages, and the back (for fun)

The patterned papers and stars are by Studio Calico; kraft paper and gems by Bazzill Basics; washi tape by Paislee Press; stamp by Cat’s Life Press; baker’s twine by Whisker Graphics; white acrylic paint from Michael’s.

Like making lists? Feel like making a cute little book for fun? Want to document where you are in your life right now? This is your class. It’s fun, inexpensive, will be an interesting piece of your life to savor at any time. I recommend it! Happy list-making!
