My darling and talented and crazy and creative friend Margie

has partnered with Advantus to create her OWN signature paper line.

will make its debut at CHA winter in a few weeks!

The good news is... You all can be getting her fabulous paper SOON!

I have seen the product and it is so amazing!

Margie is a girly girl and loves the whole vintage vibe.

Her stuff is so great!

I am excited and proud of her for this! She has had a crazy year in the scrapbook industry, and this is the beginning to one of her biggest dreams. It is going to be BIG! She is AMAZINGLY talented... but more importantly- A heck of a lot of fun to be around!

She and her girls, Brooke and Megan, also have a monthly kit club, The Girl's Loft, that have the greatest scrapbooking kits... check them out!

CONGRATS... Margie!

Jessica Sprague Alchemy ROCKS!

Hey there... I wanted to give a huge shout out to Jessica Sprague and her amazing hybrid for dummies classes.

I AM NOT A SCRAPBOOKER!

Well... unless you count Mitch's pathetic 1994-96 book with Mrs. Grossman stickers scrapbooking.

I didn't even give into it when, as Caylor called it"Pebbles in my Panties", hit it big in St. George.

Anyway... I found the greatest hybrid scrapbooking class online here

It was soo easy and fun!

Here are a few pages from the book I made Viv for mothers day...

It turned out great (especially for my first attempt.)

It started when I was just born and went through the really great pics of us in 70's & 80's!

We were totally hot and dressed so cute!

The kit was so easy... I got to be creative and pick the paper and colors I wanted to use and then I just had to follow her VERY specific directions on the technique. I learned so much about Adobe Elements ... I'll bet I could even design one myself now, she is such a good teacher.

It ended with a current photo of Viv and the girls...

It was a fun gift to make and give!

If you are at all interested in mixing digital scrapbooking with the traditional 3d kind... for sure check out Jessica Sprague.

I have taken 2 classes and learned SOOOOO much.
