Vacation Time!

It is almost vacation time again!! We will be hitting the road on Saturday morning - heading into the interior to visit family and friends. My new camera will be right there beside me - hoping to capture some great photos of wildlife and fun.

I will try to remember to include some of the interesting 'art' type photos, along with the family ones too. You know - the close up photos of interesting objects along the way - not just the kids standing in front of the sign, the kids standing in front of the car, the kids standing in front of [insert object name]!

We will be visiting places that we have been before, but I want to try to make sure we don't end up with the very same type of photos we had before. I like to keep my scrapbooks interesting, so I want to start with my photos!

Scrapbooking Classes

Upcoming scrapbooking classes that I will be teaching:

On Tuesday evenings in August, from 6:30 - 8:30 at Michael's in Port Coquitlam, I will be teaching either Beginner Tips & Techniques or Laced Accordian Books. Check with the store to see which one on which night.

On August 19th at 11:00 a.m at Michael's, I will be teaching a 1-hour kids scrapbooking class. I just finished the prototype last night and I am really pleased with how it turned out. This is a small cardstock album that kids can easily make to keep their own pictures in, using rings to do the binding. The class only covers having six pages, but you could add a few more.

Starting in September, I will also be teaching at Remember Me (my favourite local scrapbooking store). Dates, times and topics to be finalized. Please talk to the ladies at the store to see all the upcoming classes.

I will add to this information, once I have more things finalized.

Lost Photos Found - The Next Step

Well, now that I have gotten over the shock of finding so many pictures that had been misplaced, I have started to add them into my scrapbooks.

This is definately one of the times that I think that the pocket albums have it over the CM albums - but I love the CM albums!

I have lifted a couple of my pages - thank goodness for "Undo" - if you don't have a bottle of this magic 'potion' you should definately invest in it. I have been able to lift photos, stickers - as a matter of fact, whole pages with little to no damage to any of the elements - and the stickers are still usable afterwards!!

So far, I have done about 25 pages of the missing pictures and I am not even 1/3 of the way through all of them. The 30+ envelopes of pictures covered many different events.

I am off to "77-in-07" tonight, so I will be able to log another whole batch of pages!!
