I just want everyone to know that I will have the class pages (with purchasing available) posted by the end of the day today. Thanks for checking! You can look forward to:
Smooch Class
5 Mixed-Media Techniques that You Can Apply to Your Layouts
Life Layout Class (Playing with Tissue Paper)
Hello 2012!
Yes, I know it's been forever since I've posted. But, enough with what I have not done and on to what I have done...
New Classes for 2012...
First up is the Smooch Layout.
I will post the link to purchase the class (over on the right side), when I get a final price. (the button is not active right now.)
However, this kit will come with more than enough goodies to do multiple layouts. Think... stickles, paint, twine and a whole Thickers alphabet pack.
The class will be taught on the following dates at Rockin' Reality Retreats:
February 25 • March 3 • April 14
If there are kits left over I will put them up on my etsy site after April 14.
Thanks for looking,
Sabrina
I wish I could take credit for this cute little ornament, but I found the idea in this...
I will be doing a little Make-N-Take at the retreat next weekend to teach the basic design. However, the possibilities are endless! I am thinking stars, pow shapes, snowflakes...
Here is the basic how-to...
1. cut out shapes - about 16 total. I did circles first and then tried this fun snowflake shape. (I cut the snowflakes out on the cricut, for the circles you could use a punch) They need to be shapes that are congruent. Mine are about 3" in diameter.
2. Score down the middle of each piece and fold.
Do this to all of them. I used two different patterned paper. You could do them all the same, 3 different or if you had a bunch of scraps - all different. (Just think of all that Basic Grey paper you bought in packs and only used a few sheets. I had a whole box full.)
3. Now start gluing the halves together.
4. Keep gluing one half to the back of the next half. (alternating patterns if you have more than one)
Just be sure that your edges are lining up. There will be a gap in the middle when you are finished.
5. When you get the the last one, glue the two left over sides together to make a complete circle.
6. I ran a ribbon through the center and added buttons to finish it off. I recommend a very small ribbon or even twine. There is a big enough gap to run it down the middle.
**I know the photos are all jacked up, but you get the idea.
I had a few extra minutes this morning and ran into our local scrap store (Crop-Paper-Scissors) and found a few things.
October Afternoon's Sidewalks Line. So Cute! I also threw in a transparency from Hambly (banners).
I wanted to try out the new Sprinklers from October Afternoon as well. I am loving anything I can spray!
There are really awesome journal cards and stickers to match.
I have big plans to do a springtime album with all of this cuteness (a class kit, of course). So, be looking out for that after the new year.
I foung these Jenni Bowlin Doily Flowers... they are plastic, bend-y and too cute. I will definitely be using these in a kit in the near future.
Another thing I have been seeing online and wasn't too sure about is the Amy Tangerine Mini Book... I am now totally smitten. Of course, I had to grab the alpha that matched.
This album is a hodge podge of mixed papers, cards and envelopes. Such a great canvas for recording the daily adventures at our house. I look forward to filling this up and sharing it with you. (However, I want to wait until I can get my hands on a new instax camera.)
Here's a few other shots of the inside. So excited... eeeeeee..... joy......
You can see it has a transparent cover over craft paper (my fav).
Till next time,
Sabrina

Rockin' R Retreat & Event Center
I had the best time teaching this past weekend and visited with some really neat and talented women. It was also great to catch up with some old friends that I just adore. Being around that much creativity is so inspiring. I love seeing all the different styles, techniques and to hear the stories behind them. I went with minimal supplies and just wanted to experiment. I'll tease you with a few pics...
Next up is a view of the scrap space, some invitations that I have been commissioned for and a couple logos in the works. Oh, and a new 6x12 album kit... thanks for looking!
"Simple Things" Page Layout Kit $5
"Remember" Page Layout Kit $4
I am teaching this weekend at Rockin' R. Go here to sign up. I will also be teaching these next weekend. Go here to sign up for that.
I have updated the "studio" (I am now going to call it that... it makes it sound more important, right?!?) I will post new pictures and hopefully be back to working in it.
Here are some photos of a book I made this summer. My four year old, Conner, has been into catching butterflies all summer! And, when he is into something, he is obsessed! So, our world - for about three months - was all about butterflies.
I'll post the whole book over there, to the right ----->
