It's Tuesday, and all I can think about is how wonderful last weekend was. On Friday, I left Natchitoches, picked up Aphra, and headed south to Lafayette, Louisiana. For the entire weekend, we scrapbooked at our favorite scrapbook store,
Treasured Memories. Janet, the owner, brought in the fabulously cute
Beatriz Guzman...she is truly adorable. She taught a class on how to make a shabby altered book and another class on some creative ways to use the Cricut. Since Aphra and I have a few upcoming deadlines, we chose to scrapbook instead of participating in the classes, but we soaked up as much as we could from Beatriz and the other talented ladies. They ALL have soooo many neat techniques in their back pockets. Here is one of the layouts I completed this weekend. It is for this week's challenge at
Scrapping Out LOUD! The challenge is to create a scene on your layout. And in true Treasured Memories fashion, I created a 2 page layout. Take a look...
"Princess in Training"
I am pleased with my scene layout...even though it took forever. I love the details. The castle is a mini-album that I took apart and stacked. The cobblestones are from a Starbuck's coozie...so much fun! The clouds were made from the ripped book pages for the altered book class and everything, except for the buttons and alphas, was purchased from Treasured Memories.
Thanks again Janet for hosting such a fun weekend...I really needed it!
