Hoping that I can turn this:

Into something cute!

Here is some scrapping goodness for you!

Hi All - I wanted to share with you the upcoming class I am teaching at Picture Me Perfect in Fremont, CA. It is called Fun with Letters! My class will be next Saturday, April 25th from 3:00-5:00pm.

If you love using chipboard letters and learning different techniques to stretch your scrapping dollar than this class is for you! Using a simple and bold scrapbook style to create 4 different layouts, we will have fun playing with glitter, paint and markers to create different and unique looks for letters that are all out of the same package!

Cost of class is $20.00 and you can call the store to sign up or order a kit. (510) 744-9583

And for all of you that are not local - I can ship a kit to you!

Happy Easter Everyone - here is some Easter eye candy for you from Martha Stewart.com!

There is a new Prompt over at The Creative Type!

"There is quite possibly little in this world more inspiring than music so for prompt # 13 we have decided to get lyrical....and we hope you will too!! Use some of your favourite lyrics to feature on your page, and make some lovely music with us!"

"Reader, you may ask this question: in fact, you must ask this question: Is it ridiculous for a very small, sickly, big eared mouse to fall in love with a beautiful human princess named Pea?

The answer is ...yes. Of course, it's ridiculous. Love is ridiculous.

But love is also wonderful. And powerful. And Despereaux's love for the Princess Pea would prove in time, to be all of these things: powerful, wonderful, and ridiculous."

The boys and I have been reading Despereaux. I have to say I liked the movie storyline better but I LOVE the way the author Kat DiCamillo writes. She has very nice grammer too! So when I saw this quote I thought - this would make a great layout!

I think I am a children's author groupie!

Shh - don't tell anyone but I think I am using my son Tim's love of books to go to Children's Authors book signings! I just love hearing them talk about what inspires them to write and how excited all the kids get when asking questions or talking about the author's books. It is really cool to see!We just went to another one last week at our local Children's Book store - Hicklebee's! This time it was Peter Lerangis who wrote the 2nd book in a cool new kid's series called 39 Clues! It is a collaboration of 10 different children's authors who are writing this series of books that also has an interactive component online. It is pretty cool! If your child is into books this is one to check out - BUT buy it from a local children's bookstore! Even though it is usually more we gotta keep these local businesses going!
