88-in-08

Well the "88-in-08 Club" has started for this year. The goal to try to do 88 pages in 2008. (Last year the club was "77-in-07" - you get the picture.)

Last year I managed to do "Triple 77" to reach my personal goal. I wonder how many I will get done this year?

So far I have done 28 pages - so I am a little over one third the way to the first 88. Can I make "Triple 88" this year?

Now that I have my scrap room and I am not using the end of the dining room table - maybe I can get even more done as I can leave things in progress and just come right back in and finish without cleaning up every night.

Santa was very good this year and brought me all sorts of things to add to my scrap room. I love my new paper filing cube - now I don't have to fight to get a piece of paper either in or out of my overstuffed Paper Taker - I just pull out the folder and open it up. When I go to a crop, I still use the Paper Taker, I just put the whole file folder right into the Paper Taker and it goes with me. I just have to be a little bit more organized for a crop to pull the papers I might need before I go - I don't travel with all my papers all the time. I also got a small folding table that actually can half 'sit' on the bed and half on it's legs so I can have a little more floor space when needed.

I also love having my own Cricut Personal Cutter - no more waiting until I hit Remember Me to do any titles (I still use my Sizzix, just not as much). I just need a few more fonts to add variety (can I wait until my birthday??). Maybe not....

Happy Scrapping!

Welcome 2008!

I can't believe that we are half way through January already - the time is going way, way too fast and I was reminded that I haven't posted anything since before Christmas. So, Pam, here you go - a new posting.

Upcoming Classes

I have a couple of classes coming up in January and February at Remember Me Scrapbooking.

JANUARY:

On Sunday, January 20th class will be a repeat of the calendar class that I did back in November - so if you were too busy to do in then, here is your chance.

FEBRUARY:

On Sunday, February 17th, I will be doing a 2-page layout class called "My Loves" - this uses some black and white photography and some of the new Grunge board that has just come into the store (was a lot of fun to work with - feels like leather).

Here is a picture of the layout:

I am not sure what I will be doing for March - you will have to wait and see. Check back to see what I have come up with.

Happy scrapping!
