Make It Monday

Well, I'm super excited about what I have coming up starting New Year's Eve and for 12 weeks! I enjoyed the Jessica Sprague's Digi: In Deep class so much that I think I've become addicted to digital scrapbooking classes. (I've got 3 more self paced classes waiting for me to start, and I asked for another for Christmas, so we'll actually see how many I really have in a few days, lol) So, I've been hearing all this buzz about Cathy Z's Design Your Life class and took a look. I figured some day I'd take it, but then I heard that this was likely the last time it was being offered. Oh no! I didn't want to miss out on it! I hugely dropped the price of my Sony dSLR so I had the money for it. YAY, it sold super fast and to a super sweet friend and I'm so excited that she likes it so much. Anyways, in true Heather fashion, I went straight to my class and got started on what I could. Oh my goodness, she's so funny and I really really really know that this is a class I want and need. I've got my album almost set up (I can't seem to find 6x6 page protectors in stock anywhere, must be everyone stocking up for Cathy Z's class, lol). Our first assignment is a layout we're supposed to do pre-class. We're to use her template to make a page that describes our scrapbooking style. This was so much fun! The thing I still need to finish is to write up my intentions for the class. Then I need to find some 6x6 page protectors and also need to buy some ink for my printer. Thankfully, I'm participating in the digital aspect of the class so I'm not in any hurry but I do want to print everything up so that I have it all nicely in one book. I can't wait to meet new friends who are joining in on the adventure and mostly to have fun learning so much about scrapbooking design.

Here's my page!

I think I'm going to add an inked edge to the the background page to finish it up... that would be Inky Dink Edges by Lauren Reid from Sweet Shoppe Designs.
