I am sitting at home trying out my Sure Cuts A Lot program. I am loving it. It is hard to find time though. My two page layout classes are still running weekly and they are available as a kit with instructions after the class runs.

Well it has been a long time since my last post.
A little update,
My Beat the Winter blues crop is coming along smoothly. Menu is planned, games and challenges are desided on, seating arrangement is almost done. Now I am waiting for Feb 26 so the fun can begin.
New Prima arrived this week. The pearls and rhinestones are beautiful. I keep thinking they can't beat their last ones but they do.
Little Yellow Bicycle Lucky Me has Arrived and the colors are perfect for outdoor photos. Some of the generation Z paper and embellishments that got backordered last time are in now
4 new glimmer mist colors are in and the new smooch colors are back in stock.

My two page layout classes are running every week for those who want to get some pages done. You can check my website for photos of the new classes.

Well my Grand Opening went well. Thank you to everyone who stoped by. Congratulations to all the winners of the door prizes.

New basic grey is online on thier website as well as fancy pants designs.

My Mind's Eye Blog: Blog Challenge #6: Paper Flowers

I am starting my contests and challenges. December's contest is a sketch and color contest. The sketch is available to view on my website. Just purchase the sketch and product bag at the store, create your page and bring it in for display in the store. You will be entered into a draw and the winner will receive a scrapbooking gift. The only rules for this contest is to follow the sketch, and use the product included on the layout.

Have fun creating and I look forward to seeing your creations.

Do you want to join our weekly 8 gettin it done group? This is a weekly class and the cost is $10.00 a week. You don't have to commit to each week. These classes are filling up quickly and I do require pre registration. First one starts December 1 12:00 noon-2:00pm. Picture requirements are posted on my website for each class as well as a picture of the two page layout we will be making.

One hot summer day is the title of our first class. You can use outdoor pictures, beach pictures or anything that matches the colors in the layout.

I guess it's time to update my blog. Life has been super busy but I have enjoyed every moment. I am finally in my store. I am located in the Prairie Plaza just south of the Prairie Mall. New stuff is arriving weekly and it is always exciting to see it. Coming this week, Bo Bunny Persuasion, Love Bandit and Wink. New Little Yellow Bicycle Christmas line with all the embellishments. New My Minds Eye Life stories, beloved and Breaking Free.

There are a lot of new classes available. Come make a great gift for others with the Birthday Reminder Book complete with a card for every month.

Create your Christmas cards with one of the three classes available.

Get your fall pictures scrapbooked with the beautiful two page layout class offered in either a day or evening class.

We are off to LaCrete for a couple of days. I am taking my kids canoeing on Jakes Lake, Fishing at Wall's landing and exploring in the woods were my dad used to take us as kids. And of course I am taking Camo along. We will spend a lot of time in the pool and hot tub. I am very excited.

This is a digital layout I did about a year ago. I made a 8 by 8 book of Alia at Granny's fun farm. All the paper and embellishments were free kits from two peas in a bucket. It is really fun to play with digital but I prefer paper

This is a really easy fun page to do. I found these pictures stored in the internal memory of my old camera. I loved the colors and they go so well with Scenic Route's school line.

Products Used

Paper- Scenic Route, BoBunny

Cardstock - Bazzil

Well today is officially the first day that I am open. I did sell a lot of stuff at the church crop so maybe this doesn't count. I am working on my online store. I never knew I liked computers this much. I think I could sit in front of the computer all day. I do want a lap top though. I am planning on Julys KOTM and working on sample layouts. I really like the stuff I picked out. Very versatile. I have to decide if I want my family room upstairs or downstairs. They are both nice rooms but whichever one I have left over will become the classroom for the store.

These are my scrapbook pages from sept 08 till now. I think it might be time to get some albums

This page uses only CTMH paper and embellishments. I stamped a bracket stamp around the edge of a patterned paper to make my own die cut paper.
